Not Mr. O, but I have been to a few....  the prejudging absolutely sucks.  Don't get me wrong, you can go to it and pretty much know who is going to win without having to sit through the faggotry of the night show.  

And not knocking the thong warriors on stage... but it's the people in the audience that are fucktwits to have to be in the company of.  There seems to be a mandatory percentage of audience members who show up (perma bulkers whose off season never ends) with fucking coolers big enough to move a dead body in....  sitting there ever two hours pulling out chicken and rice to eat and/or mixing protein shakes.  I'm sitting there thinking 'if your fat ass did this for three months instead of a few hours once a year, you might look like a bodybuilder instead of a bodyblobber."     Or the retards that come there with every inch of their body from the hairline down, plucked/waxed/and pro tan stained.... not even competing.  

This, ahem... "sport" truly attracts some of the most delusional, mentally twisted people of all races/religions/cultures.

Totally agree, Dorian 93 was untouchable and whilst I think Flex at his best beats Ronnie at his best. He never brought his best physique against him.



ridiculous ::)

show me the flex physique that would've beaten ronnie at his best

I never went to an Olympia but several Night of the Champions. I remember two of them the competitors walked in the same door as the public and left the same main door. Saw some of the biggest stars of the day and you could just walk up to them and BS. Just a few were Mentzer, Zane, Padilla, Katz, Grant, Robby and many others. Some guest posed like Mentzer and Zane. Others competed. Seeing Robby at his best I was shocked how small he looked in his track suit. I'm guessing he looked about 210lbs max. When he took the track suit off he was the clear winner. Katz wasn't competing but in street clothes he dwarfed all the other bodybuilders. Zane in street clothes looked no bigger than me but even in off season condition looked amazing on stage. Bill Grant put on some show with his posing. Mike Mentzer guess posed and looked really thick.

i always thought those versions were highly overrated, but you have taken it to another level

ronnie was much bigger, conditioned, and more complete

ronnie made 98 and 99 flex look like a child, 93 would like his hand puppet on stage

I agree

At their best Ronnie is the better bber and wins hands down, he’s too big for flex

Just like saying dexter is the better bber than Shawn ever was

I’m embarrassed and sorry to say that I have never been.  And I live in LA which is not that far from Vegas.  There were always conflicts such as work, social obligations, prior commitments, whatever, that prevented me from going.  That includes this year (I’m a very busy person).

Attempted to once but alas didn't leave Drais until noon.  The bumps got the best of me that night/morning.

For those that have gone, how do you hide your chubbs? Are the programs large enough to cover? What if you have to do a standing ovation for Arnold, or Ronnie or something. Asking for a friend.

Why hide something that is a perfectly normal reaction?  :o

is it 6 or is it 8 ?

your imaginary lack of recall means you are lying

I went a few times mid 2000's, and this year is 5 straight, so it's 8.

Honestly,  The last two years have basically been Tijuana in Nevada, outside of the Olympia.  So incredibly happy there is no GGG/Canelo fight this year.  Kind of ruined Vegas for me.  I live in San Diego, get enough of that already.
