After viewing last night’s prejudging I have Phil taking it, as he was most definitely ON while Jay was noticeably OFF his best (which he absolutely needed to hold Phil at bay for one more year). BUT it’s not over just yet. Remember that Jay lost about 15 lbs between the Fri and Sat show back in '08, and a markedly sharper Jay, if he can fill out or at least keep his present proportions MAY POSSIBLY be enough to squeak this out… We’re gonna have to wait and see.

JJ is a 800+lbs deadlifter, and not surprisingly, his back development is as good as it gets.
I like this guy. intelligent and very hard working.
Kai is just stupid big and his conditioning is night and day better compared to last year. I really would like to see him place in the top 2 with Phil Heath.
Phil must be singing “In the Air Tonight” to himself, over and over …
As said if Phil loses it would be a a total BS at this point, unless he’s totally fucked looking tonite and Kai dries out and is a cut diamond. Jay should not be top 5. phil, kai, wolf, vic, and dex should all place above him.
wish Kai was more shredded. size wise as said if he’s a bit more ripped he beats Phil in most shots. that said phils BDB looked insane!!!
should go…
phil
kai
vic
wolf
dex
jay
do we think jay hurt his bicep AND/OR was did he inject something to create a peak because of injury? i repext jay, liked him in 09 but he looked bad bad bad last night. i wonder if he’ll retire?
haley looked pretty good, hope he gets in the top 8.
I heard people talking a while back about Jay’s biceps lagging and how he had yet to “fill 'em up” for the Olympia. If he did indeed site inject, or a little extra oil, and it backfired,… well, I don’t know if that can be the sole cause for his lack of conditioning (cortisol spike,… water retention? Am I just grasping here? -lol)

ugh, I was hoping they would start with the figure/bikini again today
If you think about it…it must be strange to have this many people nitpicking every single thing about your body. lol
Phil looks awesome. I expecially like those “interview” videos where he is talking with Dennis James…Phil is in that Nike t-shirt and those frickin’ arms are just unbelievable. And the “standing relaxed” on stage look he has…perfect symmetry. If it wasn’t for his weird looking small pecs (because they are overwhelmed by the sheer awesome size of his lats, delts and arms), he has the perfect physique.
I actually think Jay looks pretty good…from the front. His midsection and lower body when flexed from the front look sick…cut. However his upper body looks smooth. Weird. When he is compared with Phil, especially the back, Jay’s back looks SMOOTH to me.
Personally, I think Kai doesn’t look right. Never liked his physique “look”, but definitely appreciate the mass he has accumulated.
My take based on the photos and vids so far:
Well, Jay just acknowledged a bicep tear a few weeks back…
S
all these guys not in the top 15!!! nuts, they are all insane looking.
Wolf looks pretty good, but not top 5 this year…

Fuckin-A Toney Freeman @ 45 y.o.
Awesome.
God damn I love Dennis Wolf’s look, I really do. Thin waist, good taper… just imagine if he had Franco Columbo-type lats!
vic the best soo far… I d take him over heath
Vic looked real good, but his customized song was even better
Dexter with a bit of a fun routine
Brandon Curry looks real good too. Legs are a bit small still, but he’s young
Victor smoked it!!! looked great, swagger and muscle popping of the bone, amazing chest!! DExter looked way better too, glutes and hams need a bit more conditioning to be fully the blade…but he rocked it, best most muscular, insane traps!
Curry looks great
