So they at least look like they play a sport or something.

Most of these guys have a difficult enough of a time speaking ONE coherent sentence. I'm sure the "press conference" was a snoozefest, as it always is.

They are given them when they get there and register I believe.  They have the Olympia and year on them (or something like that) I think.  Kinda like they do at the Olympics....not that I'm comparing one to the other...so don't go that route.  lol 










btw...Thanks Issac.  I love candid shots.   :)

seems they seated the bodybuilders according to their hierarchy, with the top guys in front.  health should be forced to place dead last in this olympia being as it is his first time there, just like dennis wolf and ronnie coleman had to do no matter how good they looked

anyone know why the ifbb is making an exception to heath 'paying his dues'?

I wonder what the combined IQ is for all of the guys competing in this years Olympia?  Here are a few guesstimates of the top guys:

Jay - 100
Dexter - 91
Phil - 116
Melvin - 92
Dennis W - 121
Dennis J - 108
Toney - 89
David H - 118

Does sound about right fellas?  Feel free to make adjustments.

I wonder what the combined IQ is for all of the guys competing in this years Olympia?  Here are a few guesstimates of the top guys:

Jay - 100 - because of home schooling from the wife
Dexter - 91 - Gave the wife the house and kept the condo.  That could knock you down a bit.
Phil - 116 - could be a bit higher.  Comp Sci, IT or Biz at DU?
Melvin - 92 - Dont know what to say about Mel
Dennis W - 121 - Phil is more educated.  Come on with this GetWhite BS.
Dennis J - 108- Probably higher because of his International education for an American
Toney - 89 - Never heard him talk
David H - 118 - ?

Does sound about right fellas?  Feel free to make adjustments.


BTW...95 is the cutoff for a moron.  Let's GetReal with the numbers.

I think that's pretty accurate with the exception of D Henry.  He comes across well and works a job separate of bodybuilding.  He's more intelligent than the average Joe.

My bad…polls/stats in the US aren’t doctored, and elections aren’t stolen.  Guess I’ll just get back on the banana boat and head home to Cuba with the family.  I’m just not smart enough get Homo superior.

BTW...blow kisses at your girl...not another guy.  That's f####n nasty.

Hmmm, Heath won his first 2 pro shows, he was that good. Did Flex have to "pay his dues" or Levrone? No because they are that good. Paying your dues is only for the dude who have the potential, but they are still in the cooker, so to speak.

if that's the distribution of IQ for races then yes it does.

by definition 100 is the avg. intelligence of a population.

anything below that and you're a bit dopey.

      Over 140 - Genius or near genius
      120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
      110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
      90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
      80 - 89 - Dullness
      70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
      Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness


      50-70 - Mild mental retardation (85%)
      35-50 - Moderate mental retardation (10%)
      20-35 - Severe mental retardation (4%)
      IQ < 20 - Profound mental retardation (1%)


    *  115-124 - Above average (e.g., university students)
    * 125-134 - Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)
    * 135-144 - Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)
    * 145-154 - Genius (e.g., professors)
    * 155-164 - Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)
    * 165-179 - High genius
    * 180-200 - Highest genius
    * >200 - "Unmeasurable genius"

HTH.

I believe he is still active Air Force right?  Won't answer e-mails though from fellow active AF asking how he balances duty and training....kind of turned me off
