WOW. Freeman has been busy. I will have to check out more pics for him. Looks slightly less aesthetic than usual in that particular pic posted but jesus, the mass gained is crazy. Just missed it by the looks of it. A real pity. One of the best structures of all time. Going by whats there, id have Dex for a repeat. Tight as hell after that. Cant wait to see what happens!![/quote]
Yup that’s what they were saying, that the extra mass did him good but he needed to dial in the conditioning more. I think he looks awesome, he’s one of my favorites since he is also 6’2.
How bout Dennis Wolf though? Ouch.
Takes a year off and comes in with off the mark conditioning. During the webcast they were saying based on the callouts he could place as low as 13th! Damn!

I may have a small crush on him and I don’t know why ( I usually know immediately).
I try to avoid sexual innuendos out of respect for you guys, but sometimes I can’t help it.
And in this case it seems it was highly unconscious so my apologies for that.

Thanks Alpha F for killing a good thread!
Looking over those vids, Jay Cutler FINALLY shut me up… I’ve never understood how he placed so how, but I’ve gotta give the man his due at this O… Absolutely brilliant physique.
Heath just lacks a little something when it comes to the physique you see on those vids, I dont see his placing first this year.
Kai is an animal, his biceps are totally insane, his leg striations are incredible. Definitely in the running for top 2 or 3.

As many have said watch the webcasts on “that site” really pictures do NO justice.
If your rating Jay 5th then i dunno lol and Martinez 3rd ?? You sure it was this years Olympia ?
Martin Kjellstrom is new to me, what a viking.

go to the eye doctor w/ the martinez bullshit…love him but he is off, freeman as well is not top 5.
any updates?webcast isnt working for me
I can’t remember an Olympia where I literally don’t have a favorite…or am biased because I’m rooting for this competitor or that. In the past, I typically found myself overlooking obvious flaws, obvious conditioning discrepencies…and would put more credence on a particular “shot” where my favorite looked better than the rest but ignore the shots where the my favorite did not.
Assuming the competitors were able to keep the conditioning they displayed last night, I would NOT be unhappy if either Jay, Dex, Kai, Warren, Phil, OR Rocky (yes, Rocky. I am simply impressed with the condition and shape he came into the is contest in) won. Each truly displayed something outstanding and each would make a good Mr. Olympia.
And who knows? 24 hours sometimes results in very dramatic changes for some physiques…so even if Victor, Freeman, or anyone else in the “2nd callout” improved dramatically, a very real case could be made for them being Mr. Olympia as well…and they would make fine choices as well.
It is simply amazing how far the physiques have come over the years.
I am looking forward to this.

Dexter has always had some of the best arms in bodybuilding…ESPECIALLY his triceps.
You statement leads one to believe you thought Dex’s tris were lacking at some point. When?

There is something about actually seeing the individual move versus a static picture that reveals alot. When you actually see the sheer graininess of Warren’s musculature when he is simply walking, and seeing the tissues roll up into granite, THAT is something that is missing in static pictures.
When you see Jay stomp and then flex his thigh and crunch up his midsection in motion, the cuts and striations leap up at you in a way the static picture just can’t.
When you see all the competitors side by side moving, you get to actually see the physical depth of their mass and are able to compare competitor to competitor as they go through motion and as they flex and relax…flex and relax.
We fans sometimes don’t keep this in mind when we call bollocks to the judges decisions…but they are there front and center, closer to and with a better view of the actual physique in front of them. Politics are a part of life unfortunately, but I’m one to give the benefit of the doubt most of the time.

Webcast (if you are using the one on bb.com like I do) won’t begin until 7:00 PM. That’s roughly in 15 minutes!

Could you post a link when it’s up, please? I can’t find a stream.
On a side note, I was watching the pre-judging last night at like 1 or 2am and I fell asleep in front of the screen with the stream going with my shirt off.
My friends came in, found this amusing, and now a video of me asleep half naked with oiled men posing on the screen is on facebook.
