Nasser began to fall already in 1999. He was a shadow of his former self 2000 onward.

I disagree. I think Jay has 1 maybe 2 good years left before his receptors burn out and his muscle becomes athrophied:

<- Jay two days out from the 2011 Olympia. I do, however, think that his waist looks suspiciously photoshopped in this pic.

I was more referring to modern era because heavy drug use has been reason why former champions deteriorate.

and Michael didn't really have other choice but quit.

I think it will be jay and phil going for the top spot again

Kai is also in the mix IMO.

Jay can easily reclaim the title. LOL at people writing him off

Kai is by no means finished - in fact, he's potentially still got improvements to make. I'll probably get slated for this but there's a slim (yes, slim) chance he could win the Olympia this year or next.

x2. Kai has a very compact frame with a short torso that has the potential to expands as he gains more muscle. He does bring the freak factor.

Kai will still kick a lot of ass for the next few years at the very minimum.....no way is he done yet.

FitnessFrenzy · « **Reply #24 on:** January 03, 2012, 09:15:38 AM »

I just did a little research:

Ronnie was 42 years old when he won his last Olympia in 2005.

Phil Heath is now 33 years old.

Kai Greene is now 37 years old.

Jay Cutler is now 39 years old.

-----------------------------------------------

I think nobody will be able to win an Olympia after being 42 like Ronnie. So, like I stated earlier in this topic, Jay has 1 or 2 years
left to win the O. again before his body wears out. Both Phil and Kain each have 5+ good years left.

Anyone disagree?
