I'm sure pics will start flying around ASAP, i'd like to see how much freakier of an improvement he could have made in this O from last years (where he that crazy improvement for a guy who was already at the top for awhile).

Apparently he weighed in at 296 pounds! Next year he may become the first 300 pound Olympia winner? He will certainly try.

I remember many years ago reading an article where the author showed the increasing bodyweights of the competitors. He theorized that 300 pound Mr. Olympia's would become the norm, eventually. This was back in the day when 230-240 pounds at competition weight was considered monstrous. Nowadays, that just gets a person into the party.

IMO, Cutler should have won....the judges were biased towards Ronnie, especially when they judged that Coleman had better abs than Dexter Jackson...if the points would have went to Jackson on the ab comparison, Cutler would have won....even everyone in the crowd disagreed with the judges decision on awarding the 2 points to Coleman instead for the ab comparison. Cutler was just as big and more ripped.

you know all the winners have contracts with weider.... and i think it will always be that way.... when ronnie is gone dexter will start winning... jay does not have a contract with weider so i don't think he will never win.. i think jay should have had him....

Ronnie won his first Mr Olympia when he was a MET-Rx athlete. While I think you are correct in that there has been a historical bias towards Weider-sponsored athletes. This has not been absolute in determining who wins the Olympia. Also, I suspect that Weider's power and influence in professional bodybuilding placings is waning... especially now that AMG (? - the National Inquirer company) owns Weider Pubs and the Olympia contest and other contests (i.e. Arnold Classic) are providing comparable prize money and several other companies (most notably Muscletech) are the largest financial supporters of pro bodybuilding.

olympia is a fuckin joke

I cant stand lookin at ronnies ugly face, and for those judges to give coleman better abbs then dextar jackson is a fuckin outrage .

He has the WORST abbs EVER

[macattack]

Everyone of them are fucken awesome athletes the best of the best, they're all winners far as i'm concerned, i don't think i could sit here and talk shit about a single one of them of course when you have a favorite dog to win a race and he loses of course the winners going to be shit , Colemans the man of the hour and probably his final hours I wonder if he's getting tired of all this at his age.

ronnie deserved #7 he looked awesome other than his weird lookin abs but the amount of mass he carries is insane

[mooselips]

I am glad to see Markus Ruhl getting a high placing (5th ). Aside from his "small" tricep situation, he is second only to Ronnie for sheer muscle mass. Jay doesn't do it for me, and quite frankly, he is just on a lower tier than Ronnie...espescially conditionwise. Also, how about Gustavo Badell placing 3rd? Maybe Cormier has seen his best days.
