I had this in another thread but it fits this thread just fine...
Hello Getbiggers,
I've been a lurker for over 3 years now without one post. This has been
a very exciting Olympia and I have Vic in first. I am a huge Coleman fan and was hoping
for a great showing but this was not to be. I believe along with Hulkster that the best
Coleman was at the 99 Olympia prejudging. About 10 pounds heavier than 98 and looked
even harder to me than 98. I am just going by the videos..wasn't there. The reason I have Vic
in first is that he has the look of a bodybuilder. I think alot of it has to do with bone structure.
Jay seems to have more of a bone structure of a powerlifter/football player ect. whereas bodybuilders such as Vic, Ronnie, Flex has the smaller bones where the muscles appear bigger than they actually are.
A good example would be Arnold at 6'2 and 235 looked huge whereas old pics of Gunter at the same height
and weight looked like a tooth pick in comparison. When I saw Ronnie using the lighter weights and higher
reps I had a feeling he would come in looking like he did. I honestly think he could have been much better
and matched his 2005 form. That still wouldn't have guarenteed a win but it would be close. I think
if he had come in like he did at last years Dutch Grand Prix it would have been close also.
Check the pics... Not saying Big Ron would have won but it would be close...
