This should be interesting. The response from the average laymen who doesn't follow bodybuilding is surely going to be negative
Or quite positive depending on how they portray it. I, for one, is very interested to see how national sports television showcases it.
99% of the comments will be negative. Every laymen says the same thing about bodybuilding. 2 most popular responses: "ewww that is gross" and "why would anyone want to look like that."
I bet the Mayor of Bodybuilding is creaming his pants over this one:

Not true. It really depends. Dex and Heath are cool as shit, in street clothes they will get major props and I know they know sports pretty well football especially. It could be pretty fucking tits to be honest. Time will tell. kai and wolf were bad picks. IF these guys aren't in thongs it will be positive.
I am sure they are cool guys, etc. However, oiled up men in thongs is the main factor of bodybuilding. People might think they look good in street clothes, but once they seem them in a thong on stage, watch their faces cringe :-\
i hope kai doesn't go into some intellectual rant to make himself appear more intelligent than he actually is like he does in he md videos. hopefully he will just set there and be quiet for once
Bbing really needs to take emphasis off the comps and more on training and diet type knowledge. I agree with you, posing is pretty damn gay. if we could somehow make it less gay it might get more popular. suggestions?

"Olympia Athletes"???? Who the fuck would that be?
I expect Phil will do most of the talkingWhy the fuck is that guy even allowed to get on stage like that? jesus christ.....
I want to hit Michelle, the host of sportsnation.
Anyways. They will bring them on during their toss up round where they pick certain topics and guess which ones the biggest percentage of fans chose.

Dex getting dwarfedHide is standing toward the camera, but Dex is getting dwarfed by Dennis and Phil, yeah...
anyone youtube this?
I remember reading in an old issue of Flex about how Dorian was asked to appear on a popular late night British television show in his posing trunks
he refused, arguing that a soccer player wouldn't be asked to show up in shorts and cleats
I was hoping these guys would have followed Dorian's lead and wore proper suits like respectable professional athletes
no, they have them flexin with their shirts off like buffoons
and suprise, suprise, they are all weider guys.............
No. It will become a myth like Coleman at the Jay Leno show.
that was embarrasing and awkward to watch.......i actually had that sick feeling in my stomach you get when you watch something embarrassing
why they couldnt just have shirts on and be talked to like normal people?
as an aside.............you could see who has the most push in that bunch of guys............phil heath was the first one out, only one introduced, and the only one to talk
That's because De speaks ebonics, Wolf and Hide can't speak english and Kai speaks alien.
With the 2010 Mr. Olympia, the biggest bodybuilding spectacular on the planet, speeding toward us at warped speed, “The Worldwide Leader in Sports” has taken notice.
On Wednesday at 4 p.m. EST, ESPN2′s SportsNation will showcase the IFBB Pro League’s elite — Phil Heath, Dexter Jackson, Kai Greene, Hidetada Yamagishi and Dennis Wolf — as they discuss NFL football and, of course, the 2010 Mr. Olympia on September 24-25. It’s an incredible opportunity for the sport of bodybuilding to reach a broader audience while offering a handful of the finest pros in the game a well-deserved spotlight on national TV.
Said Heath, “I have a chance to be recognized as a top bodybuilder by ESPN, and it’s definitely a moment I’ll never forget. I’m very excited to represent the IFBB Pro League and its fans in something that hasn’t been done in more than a decade. I’d like to thank FLEX, Muscle & Fitness and ESPN for making this Big Kid’s dream come true!”
Added Jackson, “It’s awesome, man. I can’t even tell you how cool this feels. I’m a sports fanatic, so anything we talk about, I’m down. I’m ready to rock!”
WHAT: 2010 Mr. Olympia’s elite on ESPN2′s SportsNation
WHEN: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at 4 p.m. EST
WHO: Dexter Jackson, Kai Greene, Phil Heath, Hidetada Yamagishi and Dennis Wolf
Thanks to Flexonline.com for the information
i got to edit that............they gave kai a segment as well
kai did his best to give direct pithy answers and not be too weird
I like when Phil names former Mr. Olympias and he doesn't mention Jay, his supposed best friend BHAHAHAHAHA

pretty weak . . .
That's all?
where was Bob Chic?.....did ESPN invited him?
pretty weak . . .
kai is so freakishly big currently, he is in that rarefied air of ronnie mass..............he was twice as wide as the rest of those bodybuilders on that show

What is Kai looking at here...the rafter's, or is he pondering insightful thoughts? Thinking of his next routine? Or how to get to HoustonAltantaVegas?

He's secretly recalling the profound effects Plato's philosophy has had on his existence. And that he could express it posing dressed as a pink flamingo.And explained that the pink Flamingo is pink due to the amount of plankton, shrimp and crusty, crustaceans. So therefore the Flamingo would not exist in its present form if it were not for the smaller Animals (Schmoes)....Or low protein levels makes one question his own existence...

Compare Phils left and right delt. Wanna explan, "Gift"?? :-XStill seperation, prolly because Hide's arm is pressed against his, he is not flexed 'out', but look at Dex's traps, he actually looks like he is growing a Shell! :o. So which one is he, Donatello, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael?

Facially he looks more like Krang.Ahh, the talking Brain, dump him in the Shredder
Surprisingly, it was 100% positive. That has to be the first time that's ever happened to bodybuilders.

Whats to explain?
No Blechman "athlete's"? I don't think this helped bodybuilding at all. ESPN just displayed them as freaks. This is the only "sport" where every "athlete" is on steroids which is considered taboo in any sport. Found them all boring, although that's maybe because the show wanted them to not say much at all.They might not have wanted Roelly to break the camera with his "scrunchy face", or Cedric as another tall bodybuilder. Or the fact that Weider is synonymous with bodybuilding, they just put a call to the Weider offices.
kai must be all in with the dosages........look at that fucking stomech distension

i would be interested to know how much gear he is taking, it would probably be an unbelievable amount
You still have to explain how you chose a red shirt to wear with a white suite, Chick. Really puzzles me. You color blind or something?
First, I dont own a white suit....second, the white sportcoat has red stitching and embroidery on it, which matches (gasp!) a red shirt
Thanks for the input Mr. Blackwell...
What puzzles me, is why all you "no homo" guys care about what I wear??

WolfFixed for accuracy. ;)p@wningvibrantly illuminating the set of ESPN ..
I told one of my good friends that he should watch ESPN2 because IFBB pro bodybuilders are going to be featured on at 4pm. His response was, "No thanks. I'll leave men posing in little underwear for you to watch."
Yup, I am sure it reached the general laymen ::) ::)
Maybe you should explain to him how no one had underwear on, and by some miracle, you still are attracted to women...

hahahah, you are so stupid. The end product of competitive bodybuilding is posing in a thong on stage. So, even if he did watch them in shorts on ESPN2, it would have not gone any further than that. He would never watch a bodybuilding contest. Thus, it really doesn't promote the sport. You = imbecile.
He's a homophobe...who fuckin cares if he ever watches a bodybuilding contest. The end product is a sport that recognizes the best built physique, which does require wearing posing trunks...been involved for many years, never seen anyone wearing a thong on stage. Maybe some of the "shows" you've been to were something a little different?
As for promoting the sport, not everyone is so immature as to fear watching BB, as they might be labled by their equally immature/ homophobe friends.
been involved for many years, never seen anyone wearing a thong on stage.
your reaching with that one...........muscle is very dynamic tissue with thousands of motor neurons and muscle fibers
in the split second that photo happened to be snapped, he was flexing harder with his left delt then his right
his delts are perfectly symmetrical
We had a opportunity to showcase some of the best IFBB bodybuilders on ESPN2, and we gladly accepted...whether or not YOU believe it promoted the sport or not, is irrelevant....
Any type of positive appearance/ press is welcomed, and does indeed promote the sport...too bad you're not smart enough to recognise it.
they actually looked like they had fun. Those of you bitching why they had their shirts off. Well that's what bodybuilding is.
When they have a football player on do they make him catch passes or tackle people on the set??
::)
(http://www.ronnie-coleman.org/thumbs/ronnie-coleman-5.jpg)
Yeah....real big "owning" he's got there.....probably not as big as the fact that he's here on a BB site day after day, posting pics of ronnies ass he has saved on his computer...
You said bodybuilders have never competed in thongs. LOL>...............that looks like a thong to me.
I mean is it REALLY necessary to have a competitor shove the thong up his ass to see his glutes in order for you to better judge his physique? I mean what's next.........?
Why not go back to wearing trunks like arnold? Nobody cares if a bodybuilder has striated glutes, whats next, a striated cock pose? .. That alone will make this pageant less gay. And bring back weigh ins, is it that difficult?
, posting pics of ronnies ass he has saved on his computer...That was not a saved pic , retard. ::)
Occasionally...I've seen many different types of sports celebs on latenight shows, ESPN, GMA, etc...doing all types of things. Serena Williams was on one of the shows not too long ago, serving tennis balls at the host.
That was not a saved pic , retard. ::)
We have weigh-ins...for the guys in the 202 that need to make a weight....what would be the point of weighing in anyone else?u seem to always include gay refrences in your posts
The guys can wear any trunks they wish, no one is stopping them...
How about they just wear workout shorts, so noone has to worry about "turning gay" watching them?
u seem to always include gay refrences in your posts
can u plz not do that pops?
Riiiiight...whatever you say

A cock sock ;D
Not tryin to get at you man, but what the fuck else should they wear on stage?
A cock sock ;DHaha Derek Anthoney doesnt compete anymore
Kinda simple really...agree...
Bodybuilding is about developing the physique to a crazy level of lean muscularity
How to judge who has the best physique? Line the contestants up together
What can they wear so judges can see practically every muscle which they developed? Maybe a kinda swimming ends, hardly gonna judge them while they have a coat on
Not tryin to get at you man, but what the fuck else should they wear on stage?
