Well now that I see Roelly makes the badass faces too, I’m torn between Phil and Roelly. (As you can see, my fan-boy criteria is very particular.)
But Alas… Now that Kai switched teams I predict: Jay wins until he retires, and then Kia walks away with a couple controversial wins. The type of wins where the top 2 or may 3 could be argued endless.
Jay could be hit or miss, i really dislike the lack of details in his back, the loose skin in the low back, a the usual lack of symmetry from his left to right side. that said if he’s as sharp as last yr. it makes it tough.
Vic is a wild card, are the legs ready, can he get peeled? id so he could shake things up.
Dexter will be bigger, fuller, sharper but he’s not going to be “wow” enough…too small & too 2008.
Branch gets peeled but he looks like shit from the back and has undersized arms for his structure, not in top 6 IMHO.
Roelly is big but not the full package yet, legs and back need more, but could be top 6.
Phil is amazing MOSTLY. his shoulders and arms make his chest look small and narrow. his back is improved a ton, his wheels are good but not on the jay, kai, branch level. PHIL is not the complete package and i quite frankly don’t see him as Mr. O.
fanboys love phil but fail to see his glaring flaws, his shoulders/arms fuck up his chest his legs and back are incredibly improved but he’s not beating bigger, fuller, wider guys who are CONDITIONED.
If Kai can be big and ripped simultaneously he wins it going away. if he’s not on and jay is, jay wins again.
if kai and jay aren’t hard as nails, phil wins because he will be condiitoned.
sleeper: victor for the win
Cutler 8 wks out

THIS! x1000000 Thats prob the best breakdown so far, I think your spot on. Especially about kai and jay.
If cutler and kai nail conditioning it will be
1 Jay
2 Kai
3 Phil
4 Vic
5 Branch

that is some sick looking shoulders and thick upper body in that pose
I dunno guys,… that pic of Cutler 8 weeks out looks pretty intense.

I really want Phil Heath to be top 3. That guy deserves it.
I dont think anyone right now can beat the package that Cutler has
He does look freaky in the 8weeks out shot
One more for good measure
GDI he looks good! That bastard!

Yeah, honestly, unless he fucks up, I don’t see anyone taking the title from him. I mean if he is as spot on as last year, no one touches him.
I’m no expert, but there wasn’t a single person on that stage that could hold a candle to Jay last year. And even if Kai was dry as a bone, paper thin skin, I still think standing next to Jay, he loses.
I don’t follow professional BB much besides admiring the physiques, but is Frank Mcgrath participating at this Olympia? For all I know he no longer competes, but he’s always been one of my favorites as far as physiques. He’s the perfect blend of Golden Age V tapers and modern day mass monsters.
Frank is not a top tier pro, his last show he placed 9th at the Tampa Pro in '09.
Just making sure there’s no confusion, the pics I posted arent from 8 weeks out, I think they’re from after last year’s O, not sure tough.
I was commenting pro-a-g’s pic of cutler 8weeks out
Stiil, I dont think Kai at his best would look as good as Cutler on the pics I posted, same for Heath

Holy shit. Straight up unreal.
Even the brohawk hairdo is on point. Cutler vs Kai FTW.
