Title: The King's Olympia Observations.. The truth!
Post by: King Kamali on September 27, 2008, 09:46:17 AM
Okay guys.. I am still in NYC but I have looked at all the pics and have been on the phone with many from the King's army that were at the prejudging last night and I got the full scoop. First thing is first, I am still in shock from the passing of my friend Steve Stone. He was a personal trainer at my gym BodyQuest here in NY and I just talked to the man few days ago... I got the news last night from Chick and I'm still fucked up. Life is too fucking short and so precious.. Take each day as a blessing and forget about hating and bad things in life.. It's not worth the time you waste.. Unbelievable!

  Now, here is the breakdown of what went down at prejudging:

1. This is the hardest Olympia ever to judge.. Everyone looks either off or transformed into something different from the years past. There is no clear cut winner! It's fucking crazy how in just one year everything changed.

2. Let's go down the line: (only the top guys that matter here)

Cutler:   Same as last year just a bit tighter. All the insulin has done it's damage to Jay's hardness especially from the back. If you Cutler fans are waiting for the 2001 version of Jay you are in for some bad news.. That day is long gone. This is the best Cutler you will ever see, period. Big, blocky... Well, it's Jay.

Dexter:  Let's be real here people, he was MUCH BETTER at the Arnold Classic.. MUCH BETTER! I am a little surprised that he missed this one by a mile. Dex knows that conditioning and those insane shredded glutes were the only Chance he had of getting second at this show.. and he came in at 85%. Lower back and glutes were soft (for Dexter) and looked to be a bit flat.

Heath:  He was better at the Arnold Classic and peaked at the Ironman Pro. He too was a bit off and the added size has made him look even more narrow than before. Again he should have been ultra shredded to have a chance for 2nd place.

Toney:  Much sharper than the AC but no where near his overall package that won the Ironman Pro last year. A bit flat from behind and thin from the side shots but his conditioning pulled him through.

Melvin:  About 2% better than AC. Great conditioning for Melvin and good added size.

Wolf:  Was better last year (sorry Chad) when he was working with Milos and again let's be honest boys, he looked very drugged out. His face has aged 10 years and the 'drol lumps all over his body just gave him a Palumbo look that is just not pleasing. He is very wide (almost as wide as the King) but lacks the back thickness especially in the mid and lower back. Crazy legs from the front.

Silvio:  Best conditioned guy in the show. Insane legs and glutes but his wheels way over power his upper body. He looks like he added 4 inches to his waistline especially from the back (weird). High lats and lack of over all mass is his down fall.

How I would have them after prejudging:

1st: CUTLER (his name was on the Sandow 4 months ago)
2nd:  HEATH (Although better at the Ironman Pro.. still has enough fire power)
3rd: Dexter & Melvin & Silvio (too close to call.. just all over the place)
4th: Freeman (flat and stringy but good enough)
5th: Wolf (better last year and looking like he is about half dead)

In regards to how I would have been placed.. I would have been in the second callout... No doubt in my mind. I carry 30 more pounds of muscle than Melvin, Dexter, Silvio, Heath and I would have crushed Freeman from the side and back. The Olympia is a big man's show and I would have been 10% sharper and fucking super polished at this show. Jim and I have a winning formula especially with the Magic Powder and you know me boys, I would have brought the house down. It's a shame that politics have fucked everything up. I can't tell you guys how encouraged I am after seeing these pics. The Olympia and Arnold Classic are wide open next year... WIDE OPEN!!

King. I really like you as a bodybuilder competitor what have you.  But until you eventually get back on that stage (which I believe you will) don't say how you would beat the pants off of so and so.

You proved year after year to not be able to qualify for this show,to not be olympia material.
I think you should be a little bit more realistic about your imaginary placing.


Unfortunately, many bodybuilders are unable to view themselves objectively or realistically. None more so than the creator of this thread.

No offence but that time you beat wolf was total bullshit.  The other guys might have been off that day but Wolf was on and much, much better.  Nothing to be ashamed of anyway, the guy has an amazing shape.

SuperFatTroll:  There were many men on that stage last night that I beat this year alone. I have qualified for the Olympia several times and opted not to compete.. The Olympia is not that important to me brother.. The fans are.

aussiepro: Yes bro. I can believe and that's why I beat Wolf 2 years a go at the Montreal Pro.. Because I believed. And yes again, I am wider than Wolf.. The next time I see him I will do a lat spread and take a pic just for you. Here are a couple just so you can get a better understanding of my point of view.

Sorry fellas.. I missed a couple of your posts:

Van_Bilderass:  When a bodybuilder takes high doses of Anadrol they form these weird cysts all over their bodies.. I myself have a few here and there. ;)

Stavios:  You are correct.. This is the positive board. But opinions are always welcome.

getfast81:  I thank you for the kind words but remember brother, I am stating my opinion. I am not saying I would have beat so and so.. I am saying I "BELIEVE" I can do this and that. It's always good to believe and push oneself to achieve.. That's all.

Let's stop all the bullshit and get back on track.. It was tough Olympia and the correct decision was made. Now the sport has been injected with new blood and excitement. Dexter will have every IFBB Pro coming after him in 2009 and it will make things just that much more fun for all of us. I'm excited and so should you all.

rocket:  That's your opinion and 8 judges thought differently..

I'll give you credit for holding your own in those poses you posted (and for being as wide, if not wider than Wolf) but it isn't really that close when it comes to anything from the front.  So, if the judges went with you because of your back, okay, but if the judges went with your back + a "paying your dues" penalty to the duetschlander like, I, and most of the guys here think.. that is when it becomes in my opinion "bullshit".  But.. you know.. wolf can do very little wrong on this board ;D

Well King I definitely respect your opinion and its nice to see you posting to begin with.  I am still in shock that Dexter won.  I ate my words as I was bashing the shit out of the olympia up until the decision and I am floored.  King, next competition brother?  The O next year is wide open and I think Wolf should do the Arnold only.

The great thing about putting Dex up there is that he isn't one of the guys you think "well, that wraps up the olympia for another 3-5 years".  Everybody has a shot.  Heath, on the other hand does have that air about him.  I think Heath is too narrow but the judges would appear to disagree with me on that one too :)

SuperFatTroll:  There were many men on that stage last night that I beat this year alone.

1 man, David Henry, at the Iron Man.  This year, you placed 10th at the Iron Man, with Toney in 8th, Johnnie 5th, Silvio 4th, Moe 3rd, Gustavo 2nd and Phil 1st.  Toney beat you again at the AC, placing 4th to your 6th, with Melvin 1st, Johnnie 2nd, and Darrem 3rd.  How are you justifying being in the 2nd callout again?
Title: Re: The King's Olympia Observations.. The truth!
Post by: King Kamali on September 28, 2008, 10:33:41 AM
rocket:  Ahhhh my meathead friend.. You are now starting to see the light. I agree with you, that at that show Wolf beat me in the front poses, but I beat him in the side poses and the back and my posing routine blew them all away.. That's why I won. It's the overall picture that the judges and the critiques must look at. This is a subjective sport and you will never change opinions when it comes to this sport.. That still does not change the fact that I beat the man on that particular day. And as far as paying your dues goes that shit does not exist anymore... It's all about sponsorship, PERIOD! I too like Wolf, amazing shape for a big man (tiny waist) and crazy sweeping quads but he has a lot of missing parts. Again, it's all about opinions. And once again Rocket man you are correct again about Dex being a shoe in for multiple years. Just knowing that he is Mr. Olympia lights a fire under the entire IFBB roster because he can and will be beat.. And Heath is on top of that list.

getfast81: Much respect back to you. I too am surprised that Dex won BUT, don't forget that the judges also knew that if they voted for Jay and jay was off like he was on Friday that the sport might not recover and the backlash would be like the economy.. down the toilet. Dex deserved the win but he was not at his best.. He too was a bit off. Wolf needs to take some time off.. Look at the mans face! He was better last year.. what does that tell you? The AC looks very interesting to me.. ;)

alejandro_torres: You God Damn right! I only wish we had a comparison at the Atlantic City show.. It would have been an eye opener ;) Tony is great but at the AC he was off.. That's just telling the truth.

BlueDevil:  If you only knew.. Ask around and you will hear stories about my eating abilities.. I can fucking eat!

benz:  I actually thought Gustavo looked good. He has peaked and his body is doing a Cutler. There is only so much insulin will do for a physique. In all honesty I thought he would look a lot worse than he did.

Zach Trowbridge:  Again it's my opinion and that's it.. You forgot Craig Richardson :-*... You are still missing the point. I have competed against the best and I have beaten the best. I love this sport and my positive attitude keeps me growing and improving. I did half the drugs from the previous years, no insulin, no IGF, no Clen., and no diuretics and I made dramatic improvements since the Ironman. My blood work came back as "almost" normal, and that for me is a miracle. Zach, when I finished my 90 sec. individual routine at the Ac I got a standing ovation and expeditors and fellow competitors were all giving me props for bringing down the house... That shit means more to me than PLACINGS! Stick with your opinion but don't hate the playa!

I am not even flexing in that shot and I already said that wolf was better than I was from the front. What are you trying to prove? That you are a dickhead?? Well you did a great job. This is the positive board and the point of reference was am I wider Than  Wolf? You just got yourself banned and for what kid.. for being a moron. This exactly why no more pros come in here and try to help you guys out... Because of idiots like this.


Anyway, let's get the real warriors back and keep a positive thread going.

Whether you like me or not I am a professional bodybuilder that has competed on the top stage on the planet. I know more about the science of bodybuilding than 99.999% of the Earth's population. Instead of being a smart ass and making idiotic remarks why don't you (not you in particular.. I'm referring to everyone here on the board) use the chance that I have given you to ask questions and learn from my experience and knowledge. This is the kicker that most of these kids just don't understand and that's why most pro's refuse to come in these types of forums and participate.. For God sakes on the main gossip board they superimpose Ronnie's face on a gorilla and make fun of the greatest bodybuilder of all time?!?!? Jim has created a revolutionary new supplement that will more than likely make him the next monster company in the supplement industry and no one seems to care.. Just fucking amazing. Open up your eyes people and you just might learn something.. We are here to help and not to get hated on.

Why on God's green earth should Gustavo retire?!? He has a family to look after, he just placed 2nd at the Ironman Pro, He still did a great job at the Mr. Olympia and he has a MuscleTech contract.. He is living the bodybuilding dream. I personally don't like him as an individual but he is a great bodybuilder that still has 5 more years in him.. It's not about placings, it's about making a living from the sport.

I used to hate you king, but after you started posting here, you deserve all my respect. This place is like a hood, people come, some stay, some quit, some quit crying, some quit promising a lawsuit, its getbig, if you cant handle the hate, you cant be here, and you are handling it so far, but sometimes you fall too easy. Look at milos, the man is proven hardcore, be the next pro to prove the same, being part of the getbig community is more than a loosy trophy at the mr olympia.

I'm referring to everyone here on the board) use the chance that I have given you to ask questions and learn from my experience and knowledge.

I'm wondering about why you speak so highly of Milos and his knowledge when you wrote this on your site:

Quote
To all of you up and coming youngsters climbing up the NPC ladder aiming for that ever elusive pro card, STAY AWAY FROM INSULIN!!
This drug will destroy your body and your chances of attaining a aesthetic physique. The lour of insulin comes from its ability to pack on the size and I will be the first one to admit to this fact... Insulin will make you big, BUT, it will also make you fat and give you a distended stomach.

Everyone seems to be complaining about the "guts" on most of the top pro's these days... Bigger bodies no doubt but the beauty is gone. The NPC and the IFBB have mandates on this matter and from what I have heard they will follow through this time around and punish such abnormalities. The bottom line is that symmetry and proportionate physiques are making a comeback and if you take insulin, you can kiss your pro dreams good bye...


DON'T DO IT!

If Milos destroys bodies with insulin how is he good as a trainer?

Do you still agree with the advice you gave above?

No, but we all know Milos is the champion for insulin use. He does not think insulin messes up bodies. King does think so, and he has mentioned insulin in a negative way even in this thread. He did it the Milos way and then went back to no insulin again. So I'm wondering what he really thinks about insulin. Good, always a bad idea, or bad when used in a certain way etc? If it messes up bodies then why does he think so highly of Milos and his knowledge?
Title: Re: The King's Olympia Observations.. The truth!
Post by: King Kamali on September 28, 2008, 01:02:16 PM
I have worked with just about all of the so called gurus in the bodybuilding world and when it comes to the science of bodybuilding Milos is light years ahead of the rest. I learned more about body chemistry in 1 year from Milos than I did in 20 years of personal experience. Insulin is not the answer.. Just look at the physiques of the 90's vs the physiques of today.. Not even close.

Let's just say Milos has changed the way I look at bodybuilding forever. It's time for me to make peace with the Iron Game and I have. Health and family come first and then everything else. Milos told me the other day that he had goose bumps when I finished my 90 sec. routine at the AC... That meant more to me than anything.. Respect is a two way street and that man get my respect.

Insulin is not the answer..

But isn't Milos' "scientific" view that insulin IS the answer? It's like you are totally wasting your time if you don't jack up your insulin around workouts, for example. "Wasting time" is the term Milos uses for those who don't drink aminos and jack up insulin.

So he may not agree with insulin use, but he obviously respect Milos' knowledge, judging from the post above.

But their views are diametrically opposed... how can you totally disagree with someone's views yet think they are knowledgeable?

Maybe they can respect the work, effort, time it took to gain that knowledge, whether or not they agree on the results.

Again Van.. It is my opinion that insulin is a dead end street for the young kids coming up the ranks. Hard work, suffering, and the right supplementation is the key to a "pleasing" physique. Leverone, Wheeler, Cormier, etc... those guys were cartoon characters. Milos has the edge when it comes to the knowledge of the science of bodybuilding not just insulin. Open your mind brother there is much bigger world out there.

You are avoiding the issue, Kamali.

Personally id have to say insulin does not ruin physiques. Look at Milos. How old is he, how long has he been in bodybuilding, how long has he been using insulin ?? The man loves insulin and uses it with feirce dedication. Yet his midesction completely blows your out of the water this years AC. And i mean no offense to you, King. BUT, take a look at your "NO Insulin abdomen" from the AC and compare it to Milos "Insulin abdomen".

Levrone and Wheeler and Cormier all used Insulin starting in the mid to late 1990's. When Milos Taught Chad how to use it back in '96 i believe, chad then started implementing it with his athletes as well. Nasser had a tight midesction. Ronnie had a tight midesction (up untill '03... and who knows what ronnie did in 03 to gain that size...since he was already using insulin since at least '98).


Maybe you were just cheating and not following Milos Plan. Did you eat fat after using insulin? Did you use it to often? did you take precautions to avoid adipose accumulation?

Jesus Christ people.. This is exactly why there is zero credibility left on these boards. Avoiding what issue? This is becoming a repeating issue over and over again... Let's do this one last time: I do not recommend young kids to use insulin.. PERIOD! It is my OPINION!! OKAY? Milos has his and I have mine and Tom Cruise has his. Kevin, Cormier and Flex did not have Humalog in the 90's and there was no such thing as waxymaze (sp) or vitargo. It's a whole new game now and it's obvious when you look at the physiques of today that insulin has done it's damage. Stop trying to start an argument.. Let it go man... Go drink a beer or glass of wine and relax. ;)

Post by: tbombz on September 28, 2008, 03:31:38 PM
they didn't have humulog.

nice way of putting it.

Because they did have humulin-r.

and you know this. they all used insulin starting around 96.
they didn't have waxy maize or vitargo? is that a joke? ill respond nonetheless... NO they didn't, but they did have dextrose.

your avoiding the issue that with one hand your saying insulin should not be used and it ruins physiques but with the other your saying that Milo's, the godfather and biggest promoter of insulin, is the most knowledgeable man about bodybuilding science that there is.


and what about the rest of my post? if insulin destroys physiques, then how come Milo's abdomen is 1 thoussand times more streamlined than yours? and Nasser, and wheeler, and levrone, and Coleman in the beginning.

I'm not attacking or arguing just wanting to discuss this with you, an ifbb pro, and me, just a fan.  :)

Post by: King Kamali on September 28, 2008, 04:13:23 PM
Again, you are missing the issue. Did Milos invent insulin? Does Milos wake up in the morning and take a shower with insulin, then drink insulin for breakfest, and then fill up his tank with insulin? Hell he just might, but I think there is more to the man than just insulin. Dextrose? Are you kidding?!? ??? Well I'll respond none the less... Were you there in their rooms and kitchens seeing this for your own eyes as a fan ;).. If you were then you have one on me buddy because in 2001 when I started my pro career I used R and never once touched dextrose. We had another method that worked (just look at the conditioning from the 2001 Arnold.. The best AC EVER). So you don't know everything like you sound like you do. Milos also likes to drink Monster Energy Drink.. Oh wait, according to you insulin has to be in the mix some place here ::) Milos has a great physique and one of the best abdomen structures in the game.. What's your point? Now you are claiming that insulin restructures your genetic structure? Enough with this. Seriously, drink something with alcohol in it.. You are taking this way too seriously.

P.S. Just out of curiosity, would you please post your real picture and name so we all can see where this expertise is coming from.. just a curious IFBB Pro wanting to become more familiar with a fan ;D

King is better off saying that insulin ruins physiques then saying and trying to explain that possibly  1 in a million can get away with it because the fact of the matter is that since insulin hit the stage bellies started looking pregnant. So don't use insulin if you want to avoid ruining your midsection, Can someone use insulin and not get a big belly?......possibly, but I also know someone who fell off the twelth floor belcony and lived :(

I have worked with just about all of the so called gurus in the bodybuilding world and when it comes to the science of bodybuilding Milos is light years ahead of the rest. I learned more about body chemistry in 1 year from Milos than I did in 20 years of personal experience.



Insulin is not the answer.. Just look at the physiques of the 90's vs the physiques of today.. Not even close.

but come on there is no way you would come close to him now, he is top 4 in the world. many people think a lot better ( but thats a different topic)
he has improved a hell of a lot in the last 2 years ..
honestly if you competed at this years O where do you think you would have placed.

Another one for the OP.

What was your opinion of Ronnie Rockell? and why does he keep getting screwed to high heaven? for the last few years I'dve placed him in the top 6.
Title: Re: The King's Olympia Observations.. The truth!
Post by: King Kamali on September 30, 2008, 09:45:03 AM
Stavios:  You are missing the point.. It has nothing to do with bashing it has everything to do with starting trouble for no reason.. This is the positive board and that's where I will keep it.

aussiepro:  Thank you for the props.. and you are entitled to your opinion which I will respect, but, you are making the biggest mistake when you say "no way you would come close to him now"... This is bodybuilding bro.. Any man can be beat on any given day. In my opinion I think Wolf looked better last year and Freeman and Melvin and Silvio and to some degree James looked better than him at prejudging. Be more open minded especially when it comes to a subjective sport especially the IFBB. I changed many things around since the Ironman Pro and made some killer improvements. I am still improving as we speak as I am still on Jim's program and Magic Powder. Where would I have placed in this years Olympia? In the top 10 only and only if I improved my conditioning by 2 -3% from the AC.

wordy:  I too think RR has a great physique (reminds me of a bigger Lee Priest or John Sherman). Ronnie is short and that hurts him and his color is always a bit off. He also is a little inconsistent when it comes to his conditioning and the judges tend to punish athletes that are like that. Also, he does not have a larger than life persona on stage.. Again that takes away from his standings. He is a great bodybuilder never the less.

bigmc:  About 200 - 300 ml's of Synthol daily.

Stavios:  Conditioning and compact muscle brother.. Mo has the Lee Priest look and he is a nice guy which makes him a fan favorite. He made great improvements in a short period of time and was rewarded. I too think he should have been lower in the standings but he brought his A-Game.. Props to the man.

tbombz:  Insulin has taken away the aesthetics and given younger bodybuilders a fake sense of being bigger than they actually are.. That's it.

Insulin does alot more than bloat and contribute to glycogen stores though.

Insulin = anti catabolic

Steroids = anabolic

Combine the two for real muscle growth..


Im just wondering how he thinks it ruins physiques.. Personally I think gh(igf) is responsible for the distended abdomens. The other issues with today's physiques are lack of striations, detail, conditioning... maybe insulin is the culprit behind that? I dont know. Thats why im asking King.  :)

Noel Fuller:  I'm sure you are right but from my own personal experience, especially when I was working with Chad Nicholls it was not used in the offseason.. Just for loading before a show.. And don't forget, at that time Chad was also advising Ronnie, Nasser, Flex, Myself, Don Long, Tom Prince and I know for a fact that none of these men were on insulin until showtime.

polychronopolous:  The mans face does looked aged and don't forget he is only 29.. He looks 40.. Just my opinion. You are correct in the fact that he is a smoker.. I saw it at the Europa a couple years ago.

The anabolic anti-catabolic has zero merit when it comes to this debate. In fact, I know of no real proof that insulin's role in muscle growth is due to it's anti-catabolic proterties if any. If you do have any type of proof or at least a sound theory please feel free to share it with us.

Imo insluin does NOT do much more than contribute to bloat and glycogen storage. I hear all the time about how when someone gets off of insulin they look and feel really flat. This is due to the fact that you are more bloated (mainly) and you are storing more glycogen. Insulin does help build muscle, just imo there are reasons which I do not have time to get into right now that I would either not use it or use it sparinly on and off thru out the year.

Alot of times that happens to guys. They make gains every offseason yet ever year come showtime they weigh the same. Why? They use the same diet (same caloric intake) every year for their prep.

My guess is that he didnt increase his calorie level from his last shows prep to this shows prep.

exactly, we are all entitled to our own opinions, and i respect Derek for that.

He did the same thing King did, and stated what he thinks is true. Nothing wrong with that!

Should start a good discussion/debate anyways.

**** Just keep it positive fellas***** ;D

i dont hate king at all. i like his bad ass attitude . i just dont think hes getting wright information from whoever is telling him he looks good. his mom,wife fans ?? come on i mean serious. king ill put 5 k on it thats 1k more then to just show up at a qualified o placing. that you will never place top 10 again. lets see

put your $$ were your mouth is and stop blaming the judges! its your physique they dont like not your personality or anything you did in your past. and please god dont pose your back side like ronnie coleman when you were such a good entertaining poser. go back to what go you famous being lean and ripped and  CONDITIONED and your great posing. not looking big and bloaded with a huge gut. and that last posing performance which was horrible. and dont say i cant dance etc etc. i use to dance for women for 5 years i know how to entertain and women will like you more posing like a your robotic cool ways then that shaking your ass like that performance. dude it was horrible.and i am not the only one that thinks so i have the balls to say it !

Robbie and I had some great times.. Even some shit that I would love to forget ;).. But hey, it was a learning experience and we did what we did.. Times change and we are now both on a separate path. It was a very sad day today. We both attended Steve Stone's funeral and I must say it was surreal. The church was packed and a lot of respect was given to a good man. Other than a few morons that came with tank tops and muscle shirts and some women that were there in outfits that were made for clubs and not a funeral it was a very classy farewell... Life is too short. Anyway, I got back on track tonight and blasted chest and triceps. I am pushing 288 lbs. so I think I will increase the cardio a bit to slow things down. My rebound is the best ever but I do not want to jump past 290.. That's too much to fast. More good news is coming from Jim and his Powder.. I think you all will soon benefit from his creation.. Just hang in tight I promise it will be worth it.

Once again goodbye Steve... You will be missed.. RIP.

Why is it "too much too fast"?

Post by: King Kamali on October 02, 2008, 05:32:50 PM
Gaining 40 pounds in 3 weeks is too much too fast. I feel it in my heart and that's a dead end street. It's better to slow down the weight gain so I don't put too much pressure on my heart.. I have seen many bodybuilders end up in the hospital with irregular heart beats after shows because of this exact reason.

It would be very hard on your body to adapt to that. Especially the water weight.

No you would not brother.. It's not a good feeling at all. You might look like a monster but you feel like a dying moose. The heart can only take so much and when you see healthy young men like Steve Stone pass away from a heart attack.. you start to wonder and get smart real fast.

Your probably right  , BUT...40 lbs of extra muscle means then I only got 60 lbs to go untill im where I want to be !  :-\     ;D

Well alot of Kings 40lbs is glycogen and water. Not actually muscle tissue, so its a good idea to back down like he said.

You know its funny, a lot of people will say stuff like, dude you suck as a pro really bad and that's a fact.  ::) Seems like a lot of people don't know that difference between facts and an opinion. Probabely more than 90% of the people on Getbig said that King would never place in the top 15 of a second tier show. They also said that he would not be able to reduce his waist size. Well not only did he place in the top 15, but he placed 6th out of 52 guys in the hardest show of the year next to the Olympia and the Arnold Classic and yes, his waist was flat as a board. Now, THAT'S A FACT!!!! King changed his physique has now reversed the effects of Palumboism.  ;D Actually I do not like that term as to put it plain and simple it is not nice. Name one BBer who has EVER done anything like King has achieved!!!  I do believe that King could have qualified for the Olympia had he entered one of the other shows, I also believe that he could have placed in the top 10 at the Olympia. More importantly though is the fact he has changed his look totally.

lmao top ten??? want to put $$ on that ill bet 5k says no way in hell ever again will place top ten  you down??? put your $$ were your mouth is

Derek King placed a controversial 6th at the AC pro, when he should have been fifth or maybe even fourth.

He was only 2 spots behind Toney Freeman who two weeks later placed top five at the olympia, what makes u think he couldnt be top 10 in front of someone like Moe El Mosawi ( sp? ) ???

Hes not that far off, he brought his waist down, improved his arms and had the best conditioning in atlantic city.

All King needs to do is add some outer thigh and increase the seperation in his legs and he could easily place top 10 at the arnold or olympia. Hes not that far off at all.

I think what King did this year is just a preview of bigger things to come. He only worked with Jim Magnone for a few months leading up to this show and totally changed his physique, what makes u think he cant make even more drastic changes with a year or more with the same plan???

Just my 2 cents
Glen

The only way you will ever win the O is if you fly in on a Magic Carpet with Ali Malla or Samir Bannout and steal it from your boytoy Blechman. Go away Kamali. Or go back to smoking Camel Shit from your Hooka pipe.

I'll tell you why !

cause I look like shit right now !  ;D
I'm off the vitamins for the fall so I just try to hold on to what I have.

but I can gain 50 pounds and I look the same. I look bigger in clothes but without clothes I just look like I did at 190 lbs with the same proportions and I still look thin, exept I am smoother  ;D

maybe because steroids are illegal and he doesn't post behind a screen name

is that a good reason ?  ;D

thanks for the props Flex.

I don't think I will compete next year but I will still do a diet next spring in a quest to become inhumanly shredded  8)
I won't do a show cause I'll still be too small but I think I can achieve extreme rippedness if I stop worring about losing muscle mass.

i think about everyone can if they do this small lil' thing! I think people just think they have more muscle than they really do, and dont want to get below a certain bodyweight, but by doing this, they never achieve the level of conditioning that it takes to be shredded ! ;D

absolutely.

that's why if I just get ripped for the hell of it, without having a show in mind, I won't care about being smaller  8)

I am looking foward to this, just want to continu to add some muscles this winter before cutting down

getfast81: Much respect back to you. I too am surprised that Dex won BUT, don't forget that the judges also knew that if they voted for Jay and jay was off like he was on Friday that the sport might not recover and the backlash would be like the economy.. down the toilet. Dex deserved the win but he was not at his best.. He too was a bit off. Wolf needs to take some time off.. Look at the mans face! He was better last year.. what does that tell you? The AC looks very interesting to me.. ;)
  What the hell happened? Why is that bro? Sorry to sound noobish.  Oh well
