Cutler 18 weeks out from the O.

[omg]

ronnie really is on a different level from jay. there is a lot of oil in jay. but give him credit for trying

Why is it accurate?  Because Jay has been in great shape all year, that must mean that he nevers comes off and clean his system right?  WRONG, he never stops training, he's ALWAYS on his diet or close to it.  He's been off for a long time now and when he does start his prep, you will notice because he'll get a whole lot better.  I'll ask him if I can take some pics and keep you guys posted and show you the difference, if you guys think that Jay will not show improvements this year, you'll be really surprised.

I hope he does show improvements.  I'm sure he will try.  But you cannot deny the great aid it is to take 2 months off from training to let yourself heal and recoup body's resources. 

Jay is the hardest working man - no doubt about that.  It's just my belief that King Ron isn't human and if he comes 100% and the judges overlook his tears... well... Jay had better bring his A game.  I'm sure he *can* win it over Ronnie.  But this is probably the most motivated Ronnie has been in his lifetime.  We're going to see a Ronnie more shredded than he's ever been.  Jay eeked out the win last year at a lifetime best (save for maybe 2001).  Ronnie was at 80% during Friday's prejudging last year.

For the sake of our sport I hope Ronnie wins and retires on top.  He's a legend and a true warrior in every sense of the word.  Think about how the IFBB works and how amazing it would be for the sport if Ron defeats the man who defeated him and regains the title of Mr. Olympia.  From a magazine sales perspective you couldn't ask for a better story.  Everyone loves a comeback (or so Weider thinks).  Arnold 1980 anyone? Jay will come in the best he can and Ronnie will too.....but it won't matter in the end, the outcome has already been decided.

-My two cents.

Any other year, i would agree with you.

However, they toppled a champ last year when it was very close.  I seeno reason why they wouldn't topple Jay if he tries to match Ronnie's conditioning and flattens out.
