No wonder he looked so good. He doesn't look like that now. Someone new will win either in 2016 or 2017.

If Heath won prejudging this year he's going to win again next year. He was small and flat and they still gave it to him. It's already predeterminded.

Soul acception, English has lodes of quirky rule's.

Most grammarists base English grammar on Latin, whereas English is a Germanic language. One common rule spouted is that one should not split infinitives - "to boldly go" should be "to go boldly". That was invented by some dickhead in the 18th century who had no clue about language or grammar but just happened to stick.

Don't worry, I am a grammar Nazi of the highest order, but it's a fairly glaring exception.    ;D ;D ;D

I do not know HOW he won the prejudging Friday night! Small, flat, and Very muddy/blocky. I thought that Shawn Rhoden was the best on Friday. I will admit to not knowing how to score bodybuilding but that's what I thought and the people who knew what they were talking about agreed with me...so I felt better

We will see how this season goes. others are making improvements. He is not and his body may stop responding as well.  He looks to me to have 1-2 years left

Dickerson doesn't deserve to be there and more than a few that never made it do.  Paris and Mentzer come to mind but Mike quit after justly losing to Arnold.  Contrast that with Arnold losing to Zane in the IFBB Universe and returning to the gym with a goal in mind instead of sulking at home with a chip on his shoulder.

The robot shot it's dog?

Au contraire mon amis.

Incorrect, it should read "its".

"Its" is possessive while "it's" is a contraction for it is or it has.

I am pretty sure he knows this as his French phrase shows.

Apostrophes for possessive, not plural.

Mods please lock this thread.

Grape,
LOL, when I first typed the subject line I did not have the apostrophe.  Then I thought that it didn't look right, so I added the apostrophe.  Afterall, these men all possess the title of Mr. Olympia.  At any rate, I stand corrected!   :)  (Fyi, math was my best subject in high school and college, not grammar.)

Sergio Oliva 1967 'Mr. Olympia'

No bodybuilder ever or since, has had the breadth, depth, and the expanse of 'The Myth' ..

An honorable admission.  I will adjust your internet and getbig credit ranking UP due to your honesty.

But yes, apostropheitis is so rampant now, not using one, even when correct, looks odd.  It is a menace that must be stops.
