Yeah, Coleman was shredded beyond belief in his upper body. His abs were kinda flat though in some of the footage I saw (not as flat as cutlers… but oh well). I wouldnt give him the I though because he did have some MAJOR symmetry issues that the other guys didnt have.
I had my top 5 like this:
1 - Victor Martinez
2 - Dexter (Just not enough mass… I dont think he should gain more, but you just cant compete with someone with a ton more than you)
3 - Wolf (little calves killed his image)
4 - Jay (Huge, but smooth as a babies bottom all over his body)
5 - Ronnie (Shredded, but left side of body was way too off from right side)

Honestly is this just a typical bitchin? or was it that bad this year?[/quote]
I think it was worse this year because Ronnie lost last year. It was the end of an era. No one has really jumped on the Cutler bandwagon, and besides - it was after the Olympia last year that the IFBB said they were going to head back to more aesthetics and balance over freakish size.
Then they gave it to Cutler again.
It is frustrating to say the least. Maybe a new crop of judges is in order.
For those that say no one uses synthol at the upper levels - you would be wrong.
Granted, it is not abused a la Greg Valentino, but it is used.
Hmm I’ve heard a lot of different opinions about the subject of synthol in the ifbb and I just assumed you’d have to be an idiot to use it. Now i’m not questioning your credibility, but why do you believe these guys are using synthol? Any proof? A really credible source?
Im really just curious here.
O and while we’re on the subject, look at flex’s arms in the interview. His bi’s are really bloated looking, they never seem to move like normal ones and when he flexes his arm it doesn’t look any different. No peak, no veins…I dunno, it could just be his genetics.
