one thing about Dex..

[JOHN MATRIX]

no one thought he'd ever win, but he was the one guy who was consistently top 5 year after year...he 'paid his dues' for sure. did the O and the arnold. people critisized him for looking the same every year. well, he came in shredded without fail year after year, adding a small but noticeable bit of improvement year after year. i was gonna say this was the best he has been yet. he cant possibly pack anymore into his frame. unlike anyone else, id say he has fully fullfilled his potential. 

[HTexan]

Jay beat himself.

[England_1]

Yep - Jay @ 100% is untouchable in this field.

Alittle along the lines of Shawn Ray with the exception of Ray winning the big one, competed yr after year being Consistent, hanged in there and finally won the big won..Shawn ray however had to contend with a prime Dorian and a Prime Ronnie...poor bastard.

yeah i kinda of agree with what you saying- the question is who will be winning the 09? the door is wide open now!

[JOHN MATRIX]

dex maximized his potential. hung in there year after year.
so many guys have huge potential but never live up to it. dex got as much out of his body as he possibly can. he cant possibly add anymore mass to his frame

[willie mosconi]

the most horrible thing in this situation is that Jay was far worse last year. This should have been Dex's second consecutive Mr O

But we are forgetting about Martinez...

Next year will be interesting...Dex vs Vic....hard to pick.

[JOHN MATRIX]

vic is overrated

[webcake]

vic is overrated

I tend to think that too, but he was runner up last year.

As i said, next year will be interesting...

I think that him in 2001 was his peak with what he can do with his body. His midsection now is rediculous and his muscle bellys have always seemed to have a weird shape. 

[Pollux]

no one thought he'd ever win

I'll admit, I fell into that group, but ONLY because I thought the fuckin' judges wouldn't see that. I rooted for Dexter since day 1, and my homeboy FINALLY did it.

Yeah theres something defiantly up with Jays right quad and his waist seems to keep ex spanding as the years go bye, in 2001 Jay looked shredded in Great Condition, in 2006 he looked MASSIVE and pretty complete.

[Meso_z]

The only way Jay could look like that again. is to drop some weight....

x2 2001 Increadible!

dex will not hold onto the title. i would say heath could step up even next yr..i also would say wolf will be right up there also

if dex adds some more pec size and works on his calves, then comes in shredded- he'll be hard to beat in any mr.o.

he got rewarded for having the most pleasing physique.

some say boring- well thats when it all flows and nothing stands out. still, his arms are crazy and his waist wasp like...

he has the physique most people aspire to...its how a mr.o should be.

ronnie had it for a year or two, haney had it, dorian won because he brought something new and exciting...

arnold brought BB into a new era with conditioning and the look people in the 70s aspired to...

jay and the others have been chasing a false standard and its about time it changed.

levrone wouldve won it this year with his package of the 90s...

i still dont think shawn ray wouldve won..dex wouldve beaten him.

i for one am glad dex won it.

but i wouldve given wolf second for sure...wouldve accepted wolf as first also...

[willie mosconi]

so I guess Cutler will retire now?
