The guy did look phenomenal this year.  With the exception of calves (the normal high insertions), he can go toe to toe with Jay on each bodypart, and nobody would be all that surprised to see it go one way or the other.

Jay has far more mass.  Melvin has a better midsection.  Jay wins.

You'd figure the guy who just 'beat' the greatest bodybuilder of all time, should also look better than the guy who placed fifth, but nope, I guess not. Jay's crooked nipples make baby Jesus laugh.

I think melvin looks great there. But you cannot honestly say he looks better than Yay there. I think Melvin looked better in  the side chest tho!

Wow Melvin did look better than Cutler.  Ive said it a million times Jay beat Ronnie not the rest of the field.

Post by: Yorkie T on October 01, 2006, 07:20:22 AM
Melvin and Vic were the 2 guys on the stage who really made massive improvements and gave it there all this year, all the others looked the same or worse than the year before, although i do think jay deserved the victory i think melvin and vic have laid the foundations for themselves for the future.

Melvin looked good but he needs better quads, calves, lower lats and pecs. He still hasn't reached that "wow" factor yet. Of course, Jay's not Mr. O material either.

jay is bigger and more conditioned than melvin..hope this helps.you just cannot win with a small waist line..jays mid section was decent for his size.jay was the clear cut winner
Title: Re: Melvin Anthony: uncrowned MR Olympia!
Post by: GoHeavyLifter on October 01, 2006, 09:48:56 AM
Nope, doesn't help. imo Melvin stays the clear winner here. :D

Apart from calves, Melvin still beats him in just about everything, all the while looking like he could manage a flight of stairs without losing his breath.

melvin is looking awesome but he must hit those calve raises badly.

Jay has far more mass.  Melvin has a better midsection.  Jay wins.

OVERALL Jay is better modern era bodybuilder, but Melvin is VERY impressive, no doubt. great pics and VERY refreshing to see so may threads that debate the merits of the top Olympian physiques, rather than azz clownery. Great pics, thanks.

Okay, Jay wins on calves, but Mel wins on back...he has no wrinkly loose skin..he has a complete back. Mel is more than impressive...I say a man who graduate from a Bible College, in great shape, would be exactly what the IFBB needs to take the mainstream, because nobody in the mainstream expects that.
Title: Re: Melvin Anthony: uncrowned MR Olympia!

Jay wins every pose, hes just bigger, very noticable from the back.

Besides. Melvin has a gut now trying to play the mass game

OVERALL thickness in the back , hams and calfs have Jay ahead by a mile. Melvin has the edge on overall , nice shape and asthetics, but Jay still is better overall, when you look at all apscts of a physique.
As for the "bible school grad " plus. Ok, if he was trying for the republican nomination for congress and wanted the Bush bunch to support him , well yeah, , but for bodybuilding, NO.

melvin was robbed...he should have beaten jay..but jay was awarded it because it was all about jay and ronnie before the competition even started...previous years results shouldnt matter. Melvin congrats to the mr o win, everyone can see you beat jay in every pose.

WTF does being "bigger" have to do with "winning" the pose... bodybuilding is/should be about more than blocky size... how if you can see could you think Jay wins abs/thighs with that 40+ inch waist?

Post by: sammy1980 on October 01, 2006, 12:46:57 PM
ray: they are brainwashed, just like some people start liking a song if its played non stop on radio..even if its a crappy song. the same way they think its only about jay and ronnie..in reality there are several guys that are all better than them presently.

Top Ten Reasons Jay Cutler Beat Melvin Anthony

1. Judges award points for having a big ass.
2. Shoulder:Waist ratio of 1:1 is considered ideal.
3. Judges think conditioning has nothing to do with vascularity or separation.
4. Jay offered to guest pose at judge/promoter's show for free this year.
5. Bigger is better, including jaw, midsection, and joints.
6. Whereas it used to be all about 'the glutes', now it's all about 'the calves'.
7. Judges penalize bodybuilders for having a small waist.
8. Judges miss the old Dorian days where arms take back seat to huge torsos.
9. Manion worried that Melvin's past career as manicurist would harm the 'image' of the 'sport'.
10. All white judging panel feel responsibility to disprove theory of black athlete's dominance in bodybuilding.

Post by: sammy1980 on October 01, 2006, 01:06:58 PM
good summary special ed. you should mail that list to all the mr o judges

funny thing is that it wasnt even close between melvin and jay...(anthony was far better than jay...a big waist like jay has should disqualify him from winning)
Title: Re: Melvin Anthony: uncrowned MR Olympia!
Post by: GoHeavyLifter on October 01, 2006, 01:42:03 PM
Melvin the real MR O 2006! Jay indeed didn't come close.

I disagree. Melvin is good no question, but, he didn't beat Jay last night. In a few years, if he can maintain his V-taper he will be unstoppable, however, that was not last night.
Title: Re: Melvin Anthony: uncrowned MR Olympia!
Post by: canadaphiliac on October 01, 2006, 02:28:37 PM
Oh yes, because as is he can't compare to Jay's mighty U taper.
Title: Re: Melvin Anthony: uncrowned MR Olympia!

It's a bit like the 93 olympia with flex and dorian except they were acutually better.

A mammoth waistline and appendages whose measurements appear to have been picked at random, a couple wrinkles seem to be the least of his worries.

If Melvin had wheels, Jay would be an afterthought.  No Mr. Olympia should have a mid-section that flares more than his lats on the ab/thigh shot.  That is the ugliest ab/thigh shot ever.  From the back, Jay has him from the waist down, but Melvin kills him with detail.  Jay is thick, but has the detail of analog television...i.e. none.
