My Olympia Predictions

Alright fellas, Put yours up too and lets see how the chips fall on Saturday. I'm not going to justify any of my pics and I'm not going to go through the whole Weider politics argument blah fuckin blah. Just wanna see your pics and maybe why u think and i'm sharing mine. This is my Top 15 and I'd like to see where you guys are.

1.RONNIE COLEMAN (no suprise here)
2.DEXTER JACKSON (will suprise some folks)
3.JAY CUTLER (Has to do something new and different)
4.BRANCH WARREN (Here's my dark horse Most improved will be disagreed I know but this kid IMO has got something special if his back improves)
5.VICTOR MARTINEZ (I think Branch catches him sleeping on the job and he falls down the ranks)
6.GUSTAVO BADELL (we've seen the best of this guy)
7.DENNIS JAMES
8.DARREM CHARLES (like his physique overall but the guy too me is shaped funny)
9.David Henry
10.Toney Freeman (still needs to make small improvements but I believe he's coming)
11.Markus Ruhl (I'd like to place him higher but the conditioning of the comp is way more advanced IMO and he would need significant changes to his back, hes still a monster)
12.TROY ALVES (could have been anywhere in this lineup really but due to my choices..puts him here)
13.MELVIN ANTHONY JR (I love this guys physique and champion posing but in this line up: same comment as troy...Could use some overall size and back)
14.GUNTER SCHLIERKAMP (LOL, should have been here ages ago IMo, he dosent change much)
15.VINCE TAYLOR (i'm going out on a limb here as I wanted to put bill wilmore here but vince can pull it off)

GUSTAVO BADELL 6th place? not if he is in the same condition (or better) than last year.

GUNTER SCHLIERKAMP 14th place? again, not if he arrives in top condition.

Jay Cutler 2 weeks out! Is that new and different enough for you?

I see him in running for the title, 2nd place at the least.

Picture is courteousy of Milos Sarcev's board.

Also, IMO, Branch is way too blocky to break the top 5. Speaking of good 'ole Texan bodybuilders, where the heck is Johnny O. in your predictions?

He has the mass and vascularity, but it is not really a 'pretty' physique now is it.

Jay, oh Jay, I think he looked better before he turned into a MASS MONSTER

I'm not sure if johnny qualified did he? Branch blew jj out of the water and he hasn't been the top contender he should have been. If I thought he qualified i'd have him in the 12-15 place.

Same ole jay to me. A little thicker but just as grainy and conditioned as usual. Nothing spectacular. He's the same ole thing. Its why he is always second place IMO. I think jay sinks to 3rd this year and calls it quits.

True, but can I not be optimistic at least?

Also, I don't see much mention of Toney Freeman. Expect big things out of his placing.

He didn't impress me at all at the Arnold. I'm not really a fan of Gustavo...

I hear you, but he didn't impress me. Honestly... he's over-rated imo.

I think Gunter is Overrated IMO. He's been "gifted" for years and everyone seems to fall in line with it. When Gunter Poses, Nothing happens.
Gastavo @ least Looked solid last year. I agree on the arnold though he didnt impress me then either. He is waaay overrated in some instances but Last years olympia I gotta say he looked good aside of his pregnancy.

I think Gunter looks great, especially for a bodybuilder of his height.

Not a real fan of BB, but Freeman and Gunter look like better physiques than the others. But I guess its all about size...



I hope that donkey doesn't have a heinie troll!

Freeman and Gunter have nice shape with Freemans I like better. Their overall shape is what a bodybuilder is supposed to look like IMO, But Gunter, Nothing Freaky about his Muscles.
