I still think that Dexter has the best overall presentation, and should be the “new Sheriff in town”, if the judges are on. It looks like Ronnie is not at his best, and it looks like Jay has built so much mass, that he can`t even pose in a comfortable way, Dexter on the other hand is as cool as a cucumber. The one pose that will win it for Ronnie is the front double bicep, he has no equal, except for Arnold himself.

This is fat to you?
I saw some more pics from pre-judging, and it doesnt look like anyone is going to knock the champ out, so I say Ronnie gets the title, but what about Markus Ruhl, I wanted to see him next to Ronnie, this guy is absolutely massive, and how about Vince Taylor, he is bigger than Ive ever seen him, just another guy trying to play by Ronnies rules, but Vince is one of my all time favorites, and I think one of the least respected pros to ever compete, he has always been the consumate professional.
I agree - Jay is awesome and as close as he has ever been but he should not take Ronnie down this year. Ruhl is the big surprise - he looks unbelievable and actually seems to have less distension; his back in particularly has improved greatly. I’m not sure about Branch - is it just me, or do his legs look smaller than they were at the Arnold? But Vick is definitely showing why he is tipped to be the next Mr O. A little more and he could quite possibley take Jay down.
On second thought, scratch that comment about Branch’s legs; I think it was just his lack of tan.
Cutler wins it!
Best. Olympia. Ever. Man, that’s gotta suck for Big Ron.

other placings not announced on stage…

12th is Branch Warren
13th is Johnnie Jackson

Did Jay win for being the blackest man at the event? Seriously though his upper body looked better than ronnies, but ronnie’s legs and arms had him(from the pics I’ve seen on this thread), so it was close.
Wow. Who woulda thought, huh? That must be an emotional night for those 2 guys. Jay must be just elated that all his hard work finally paid off into a victory. Any know how much longer he plans to compete?
Olympia 2006 press conference. VERY entertaining. Well worth the 75 minutes of watching.

From the back: yes, and the placings bear me out.
Can’t believe the Fridge is Mr. O. Wait till next year when Phil Heath takes it.

That decision really was stupid. If you are going to take it away from Ronnie, at least pick the guy that actually fits the new criteria they supposedly are pushing and doesn’t have a gh gut with matching gh enduced bullet proof forehead.

The only thing I noticed weird about the video was the bad 80’s goth-metal music. Didn’t exactly fit the theme. [/quote]
By the hammer of Thor you now shall die. That ain’t “goth-metal”, that is straight heavy metal by Manowar. Awesome lifting music.
Sorry for the off-topic but had to set this straight.

No offense, but are you saying Jay has a gh gut?
when i do the comparison of 05’ & 06’ Jay’s photo. his abs is not as bloated as last year.
imo, i thought Jays biggest improvement this year was his gut and back.
Im looking forward to 2007. If ronnie comes back, it will be insane.
The King is Dead, All Hail the King.
Forgive, me ingorance, but you can’t ever entirely reverse GH guts can you? It wouldn’t seem to me that organs would just shrink back down.
