Interesting how a lot of people are rating the chances of Roelly and not so much Wolf.
Bob Chicherillo put him at placing 5th in flex.
Here’s his predictions:
- Heath
- Cutler
- Kai
- Dexter
- Wolf
- Branch
- Vic
- Roelly
Personally I pretty much agree but I can see cutler placing 3rd behind Kai.
Has cutler said anything about retiring after this year?
Bob put Heath in first? I’m surprised.
I haven’t heard Jay say anything about retiring. Before everything else, Jay views this as a business. And he isn’t stupid either. If he gets first again and has a good shot for next years title he’ll probably go for it. I couldn’t see him considering retirement unless he gets below 2nd place. Thats just my speculation though…he could always surprise us.

What the hell?
Anyways, My final lineup for the olympia is:
-
Cutler - I’m comfortable with the idea that this may be his last olympia and then he will retire. IF his conditioning is spot on like last year.
-
Kai - I think he has a better muscular balance than most of the others below, but can’t yet compare with cutler’s development.
-
Phil - I’m iffy on this one just because he brings the guns to the gun show, but they DO outperform his chest.
-
Roelly - May switch places with Phil, just because they both seem to be in the same ball field development wise.
-
Dexter - no comment
6,7,8 - Wolf, Branch, ???[/quote]
No love for Vic?[/quote]
I think Dex and Vic may be interchangeable
i might as well put my predictions…
- cutler
- greene
- heath
- warren
- jackson
- martinez
- winklaar
- rockel
- freeman
- hidetada
I’m also interested in seeing how essa obaid looks compared to these guys…i think he has a lot of potential…seems very dedicated and has a good structure…
About those ratings in flex though, realize that heath, kai, wolf and dexter are all weider guys. flex is a weider magazine and the O is a weider contest, in the “weider olympia weekend”. Those ratings reflect who they have on contract. They put their guys as high as they could (minus jay, but he’s still bumped from first) and put all the other guys at the bottom of the list. It’s interesting.
It would be in their best interest for their guy to win, otherwise they’re promoting muscular development who have jay, branch, vic and roelly.

It’s my understanding that he is not competing. That’s the announcement that came shortly after his win.
One more week!
^Yeah this is going to be an awesome olympia i hope everyone comes in bone dry and ripped.

Fixed.
Giggity is totally not the right word. Maybe if i were watching the women’s figure contest, we could use Giggity, for for the Olympia…nahhh
I was watching some Phil videos on the flaxseed website…
His trainer told him to stop working his arms lol. Seems like sound advice seeing as they are almost “too big”.
He seems like a really cool dude, a bit nervous on camera.
I guess I’m just rambling at this point.

i wouldnt doubt it. I mean his arms are some that can overpower his physique. Just look at those pics on page 1, the first place your eyes are drawn to is his arms lol
^The dude has awesome structure which is why I like him. If he can bring his shoulders and chest up he would be unstoppable imo. I dont think he should stop training his arms though, just maintain and do chest/shoulder specialization. I just think it would be counterproductive to allow the arms to atrophy when going up against mass monsters like cutler and kai especially when freak size is what wins competitions.
Does he think his chest and shoulders have just reached his genetic ceiling or does his arms just grow adnormally fast or both?
Y’all know who i’m backin I guess…lol. I want Phil to take it Roelly and Kai to finish high and Wolf to at least place in the top 5
And I respect Hidetada…Lol He wants to do an acting career…more power to him.
