The Olympia has been controversial since the 70s. And considered a joke by many since then. Zane over Robinson? Over Mentzer? Arnold over A few guys in 1980? Franco over Callender, Platz and Padilla in 1981? After that I stopped caring, back when I was 18.

Well, you are right about those. Robinson got screwed his entire career…even by Weider!
Why the hell did they hate his afro so much?
I want my chest and shoulders like that.
I want to know what he looks like in the off season at 270.

Robinson had an amazing body. A really good book is by Rick Wayne, “Muscle Wars”. He was a bodybuilder and later became an editor for the Weiders and goes hectically into detail on the behind the scenes of bodybuilding. If you can get it, read it, its an eye opener!
This is a pic of Wayne back in the day:
Big Vic.
I really feel bad that he didn’t do better. You can tell he worked hard for this shit this time.
I gotta say Henry’s legs completely outclass English by far!!!

I really wouldn’t say that because of how different their legs are shaped genetically. Don’t base a comparison off the photo of him walking. He isn’t flexing his legs.

English’s legs absolutely dwarf Henry’s. His quad sweep is out of this world. Not a whole lot of separation but the size comparison isn’t even close.

I still think he doesn’t get enough love. If it were up to me, he probably would be at least a 2 time Mr. Olympia. I think he should’ve placed higher than Wolf and Rockel.

Vic’s waist is just as thick as Jay’s and Kai’s yet no one ever brings it up, interesting!

Seriously. All the hate on Jay is unwarranted, they don’t know what the fuck they are talking about.

People aren’t saying he looks like a fridge for no reason. He has no lines. He’s big, but if you think he matches vic aesthetically then I think you may be the one who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Jay is good at being big and getting into condition, but let’s not pretend that this is Flex Wheeler on stage or anything close.
That isn’t “hating on Jay”. It’s just the truth.

It’s because the rest of him makes it appear small. Besides, I don’t think his waist is quite as big as Jay’s.

X2. I didn’t even mention Jay in my post. Vic has probably some of the greatest pure aesthetics to come along since Flex Wheeler IMO.

Yes, it’s the truth, but I don’t get people saying Jay didn’t deserve #1. He was slightly better conditioned than Phil, and bigger.

He wasn’t better conditioned. I may have only watched it on line, but it was clear that Phil was not lacking as far as “conditioning” at all, ESPECIALLY Saturday night.

Yeah I agree that Phil seemed better conditioned during the Pre-judging, but Jay really hardened up during the finals. Flex Wheeler actually said he thought Jay looked better than he did the year before, and I agree, it just wasn’t as apparent because a lot of people really stepped their games up. It was a really close show.
