I’m super thankful for whoever mentioned the BB.com podcast. I didn’t realize they did that for the Olympia as I never go to that site, lol.
I’m assuming Jay is going to win this year again, unless he comes in really out of shape, which would surprise me greatly given how long he has been doing this now.
I am glad that shows seem to be on the upswing over the past few years. A lot of new guys with a lot of real good builds and a cutdown on the GH guts, etc have made it a lot more interesting, at least for me personally, and I’m sure others out there, to follow the comps again.
I’m a very big fan of Phil Heath, and would love to see him place very highly. I just think he has a fantastic build. Especially interesting as he purposely sat out the past 2 Olympia’s how he does at his big debut.
My dark horse for this year is Silvio. Really enjoy his build as well, but there are really a lot of very good physiques going to be on that stage this year. More than I can remember in a long time now. Thanks again for the hookup on the webcast. Gunna get a few friends together and make a night of it.

Hope you’ve got a big monitor Mike, it’s not going to be very easy for more than 1-2 people to watch it haha.
I gave my sleeper pick for a surprise showing… besides the obvious guys fighting for top 5-6 spots, who are people looking to see make a big splash?[/quote]
was your sleeper fouad abiad? That would be somebody who I’m looking forward to see make a splash. I’ve always like his physique.
but back on the top players, seeing wolf and jay compared, wolf and freeman compared, dex and heath compared, maybe samuel in that mix…and not to forget dennis james who looked pretty good his last few showings.
I think Fouad is a good bet for top 6 if he comes in strong. Just looking at the “best” 10 or so and with no Kai, Branch, Ronnie or Victor Martinez it’s looking a little thin at the top.
Anyone watch the BB.com video with Dexter, he wasn’t exactly flattering towards Jay. Definitely no love lost there. Heath came across very well. Intelligent and well spoken.
Jay always looks good leading up to the show but then something happens.
If he pulls it together this year, he’s going to need to be drier. I think he overdoes his carb up every time.
There are some pics of him looking VERY sharp on the net though. There is one cell phone pic where he actually has some vascularity in the upper body (never happens for him).

if you have seen the other videos of them(can’t remember the site) but I believe the people behind the olympia are playing up this ‘rivalry’ between jay and dexter imo.
my top 4 so far is jay, dexter, heath and dennis… saw some videos on md and dennis is looking massive, depending on how good jay’s conditioning is it could be either dennis dexter or jay

why dont you ever see gunter in the olympias?
Well you did hear his voice last year most likely… as of now he is out of competitive bodybuilding. I believe he started a family and is doing other things now so don’t expect him back soon.
And about the TV thing, it used to be on PPV but I’m not sure if it’s still offered. Watch the BB.com webcast
He’s done clothes modeling for Big and Tall stores and he has been in movies before. I think he will be just fine.[/quote]
1 out of maybe 30 guys knows who the real jay cutler is. Nearly everyone I know saw beerfest.
His acting carrier, in terms of $, is better than Levrone’s.
Seriously we need more bodybuilders on this site! The prejudging just ended, ive been hanging out on the MD boards with all the real bodybuilders. lol.
Anyway, Dennis looked awesome as expected.
Actual Top Five (obviously no certain order yet)
1.Dennis Wolf
2.Jay Cutler
3.Toney Freeman (yes i said toney)
4.Phil Heath
5.Dexter Jackson
