I could have swore Jay was a white guy? Has he been spending time with Michael Jackson?

Physiquewise? Don't really see any difference in the pharmacies...ahem...competitor s.

It's like going to the circus at this point don't you think? I mean talk about a freak show - they're like cartoon characters more than anything.

Personally, I wouldn't want to look anything even close to that...ever.

Pathetic...just pathetic.

the over bronzing struck me as well. unless their were some other poses that were more obvious, Ronnie was the better(bigger) of the two. it's cool that they want to pass the torch and all, but if you're going to hand it to someone smaller, make it someone w\ a more "pleasing" physique.

GqArtguy · 10-01-2006, 12:05 PM

People, no one is asking or cares whether you want to look like that.

With that said, Jay owned Ronnie from the back. You can see some asymmetry in Ronnies back and a dent in there from a training injury. Coleman also had a mad tricep injury and it shows in the pics. Also, the judges this year said that they werent going to award a mega-gut and you can see that Jay has him beat there. Ronnie has bigger and more vascular quads, but that was about it this year.

Im very happy that Jay won. I think Dexter and Melvin Anthony both looked awesome.

Frank.S · 10-01-2006, 12:35 PM

Those are prejudging pics. In those pics big ron looks way ahead though.

Ive always been a fan of ronnie, his training videos are insane. That is one strong dude.

Are there other divisions, where the competitors look more human?

I. Kay · 10-01-2006, 07:59 PM

I never could understand why Cutler never beat the guy before. I'm certainly not versed in all of the criteria, but to he always looked more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing. Coleman is huge though, no doubt.

Lost Dog · 10-01-2006, 08:03 PM

Cutler's head looks too small. They don't judge on that?

JoshDunn · 10-01-2006, 10:16 PM

Colemans calves are crap. :-)

Jean-Paul · 10-02-2006, 12:44 AM

Holy smokes! Those guys are hyooooge!

Okay, who wants to bet on which one dies of a heart attack first? I've got $20 that says Coleman will not make it to 50.

Frank.S · 10-02-2006, 01:22 AM

All that GH his heart is probally so big that it will go forever!

Id take that bet JP. Most pro bb'ers are pretty crazy about their health. weekly or bi weekly checkups, constant monitoring. Plus with the science on their side these days, they are doing the drug thing as smartly as possible (when compared to the 70s/80s.).

EdChap · 10-02-2006, 06:34 AM

I wonder if they had the circus music playing while they were posing. You half expect the Elephant Man to jump up on stage and pose with them.

laxcdn · 10-02-2006, 09:34 AM

I read some stuff that they are trying to get back to the days of the 70's where they don't need to be sooo ripped and a bit smaller and more symetrical. I think Jay has smaller legs and that gives him that old Arnie/Serge look. I think Ronnie is too big in the bottom half. I think that it should be 60% top and 40% bottom like the old days.

They don't look like chopped liver.

Cutler beat Ronnie in the ab, front lat spread, and back double bi shots. Totally. I'd call it even in the most muscular.

I think how Ronnie hits his front double bi hurt him this year. He looked all clumped up and well, it didn't look at all spectacular (what you would expect from a multi-Olympia winner). While Cutler's wasn't that great (looks a bit flat), he still displayed decent width down to a nice taper at the waistline. His thighs looked a bit more cut than Ronnie's. Basically, Cutler's physique had a better flow of lines - better symmetry than Ronnie's. Crazy.

Ronnie's side chest was better. And while his tricep looked really small - he certainly has a better side tricep pose. Wow and Cutler's calves looked better, too. I was going to call it even in the rear lat spread, but I'd even give Cutler the edge in that pose, too. His back was displaying more thickness and some nice details in the hamstrings and calves.

Yeah, just by these photos, Cutler had the edge over Coleman. Totally.

CAchief · 10-02-2006, 11:56 PM

LoL, every year someone posts on the olympia and every year we debate about it.

Personally, I think their dedication is incredible. I would have liked to have seen Coleman break the record. Coleman's back doesn't look as freaky as it has in years past, but his legs sure as hell do!
