If Ronnie looks the same as he did last year, sure, but who knows what he will look like the day of the show, what all other competitors will look like, and the impact that these "new rules" will have on the judging.

New rules???

I don't think that even politics could wrest the title from Ronnie. He is on a whole nutha level.



Posted by: topolo

GP...............perhaps a friendly wager?

it's hard to say, rumor has it the IFBB would like a Mr. O that "represents" the sport better.

I know you didnt say 'it'. But I am curious of your thoughts. IMO it means that they want someone that is less of a "freak", or more "fit" or someshit. But I can only guess



Posted by: topolo

If Ronnie wins I will send you BCAA's and Glutamine...........If Jay wins you send me some micellan mrp!!!!!!

yes, and also someone well spoken, a different color...pure speculation.



Posted by: mrguy

I've got VIP seats and am pretty stoked about going!

It's my first Olympia!!

It will be interesting to see how the new routine where competitors can go against others weak points play into the overall score.

mostly speculation and rumor, pick up the latest MD mag.

RC's stomach makes me sick. I can't stand looking at that on such a muscular body.



Posted by: Prince

did you know that the IFBB judges are "supposed" to penalize for GH gut?



Posted by: GYM GURU

I saw RONNIE last week & he looked Big as a MOFO. He is hard as nails. I spoke to his message therapist, ANGELA, & she said he is lean, cut & hard all over.
My prediction is RONNIE all the way.
I predict DENNIS JAMES will take second, JAY CUTLER 3rd, DEXTER JACKSON 4th, CHRIS CORMIER 5th, MARCUS RUHL 6th, GUNTER 7th, GUSTAVO BADELL 8, VIctor MARTINEZ (if he qualies) 9th, AHMAD HAIDAR 10th, ALEX FEDOROV 11th, Richard Jones 11th, 12th, Johnnie Jackson 13th.

don't you think you at least need to see them on stage in the line-up before you can place them all out like this? who the hell knows how they will all look on game day.

Thats why they are called "predictions" Robert



Posted by: ZECH

Last year Ronnie weighed in @ 286. Rumors this year is @ 3 weeks out, Ronnie is 305!!

True, I guess what I meant is in a football game we have seen the team play in preseason, we know the coach and players, etc. so we can easily say we think X team has a stronger offense than the Y team, blah, blah, blah,

but in bodybuilding it's a bit different cause we have not seen Ronnie since the last Olympia, since that is the only show he competes in, and unlike athletic ability, the shape that a bodybuilder might come into a show can vary dramitically each year, or even each show. Based on diet, drugs, amount of water their holding, etc., plus we do not know the type of gains any one of them might have made, or even lost, in the last year.

It is true that based on past performance we can assume that the top ten competitors will look about the same this year as they did last year and make a "prediction" based on that, but until you actually see the lineup I think it's a difficult prediction to try and make.

Predicting anything is difficult, even when on paper everything seems obvious...who could have predicted the Yankees would blow a 3-0 lead? I will only predict one thing about the O...Ronnie will make everyone fight for second place.

I didn't know that. I would think he'd get some major penalties for that. GH gut aside he's amazing, but I can't get past the gut.

Hmmm, I predict you will stock up on Micellean, not Micellan. What is that, a cheap knockoff?
