Jay is a little thicker on the upperbody this year.  Ronnie's back is smaller and and he's softer.

ronnie still looked like he the it factor lat yr, this yr he just looks old and starting to sag,, its just th aging proccess!
this is a typical case of a athlete trying to hold on well past his prime!

I think the problem is that glennnnnrrrrr22222222222 2 usually sucks Ronnie dry each year, maybe Ronnie found a new bitch? One without such a penchant for coleman sausage sucking...its a possibility.

I disagree, in the sense that this year he looks drier from the front and his quads are more detailed.
However he's holding some water in the back and hams...  ???
Title: Re: 05 vs. 06 Did they improve?
Post by: donrhummy on September 30, 2006, 09:52:23 AM
Looking at those pics...

1. Jay REALLY improved his chest, drastically shrunk his gut (it's gone) and improved his leg symmetry, the smaller leg is almost equal now, and he's a tad sharper.

   However, he lost a little in the biceps (especially his left one). Surprisingly, his back looks about the same.

2. Coleman's waist looks wider, his stomach thicker, looks like a tear or something in one lat, gyno's kickin' strong, something weird going on with his outer left quad, and hamstrings look smaller. The most surprising though is his back. He lost some there; really lost that wow factor.

3. Gustavo's waist got wider, his shoulders smaller, stomach bigger. Everything else looks the same.

still you can't fault the man - its just the ageing process.

Ronnie is a warrior.  If anyone deserves to win 9 Mr. O's, its him.

I hope he takes it.  he still looks better than Jay overall.

I am not saying that Ronnie should automatically be given a win because he is 43.

all I am saying is it is unrealistic to an extent to expect monster impovements to be made in your mid 40's.

that is just life.

Jay's conditioning is worse this year compare to last...


Ronnie looks more hard, dry & more dense.

winning has nothing to do with making improvements.

it is only about being better than the guys you are standing onstage with.

Ronnie still has this, (barely)

you are fucking on crack... he is breaking down just like Dorian and from the rear looks like garbage now...Vic should win, Jay second and ronnie 3rd...

Post by: FitChic78 on September 30, 2006, 10:48:04 AM
If you look closely at both comparisons, Ronnie and Jay were sharper, better conditioned in 05 then this year. Their waists are getting out of hand. There was a photo posted somewhere here of Jay few years back and his abs were ripped and showing total 8-pack. Look at him now. His mid section is really weird looking. The "refrigerator" comparison is a good one, lol...wide and no symmetry overall. I personally don't see any improvements from last year. Neither of them holds up to their "you'll see what I am bringing on stage tomorrow" statements. Nothing that really impressive and striking about their physiques...where Vic is another story coming in at his best so far in my opinion

You guys have to remember that pre j's where done on fri which i think is retarted. Ronnie can still tighten up and drop even more water by Sat night... They both look worse then last year IMO and both look less ripped. They are however both bigger then last year.

I dont think its matter of water retention. His muscle sharpness is begins to be ruined in spite of his good condition. that is real problem and indicate his carrier is over.
I saw same thing in Nasser and Gaspari.
