is it me or does ronnie's front double bi look terrible?

tweeter · « **Reply #26 on:** October 06, 2006, 11:56:23 AM »

Yeah, that is probably the worst I have ever seen his front double bi; I think the lighting might be a little off at this show though.

Man, they do look 'off.' And who was it that was saying that Ronnie would take his lat and tricep into the shop before this show? Still looks lopsided.

Marty Champions · « **Reply #28 on:** October 06, 2006, 12:02:17 PM »

its heartbreaking to see the champ ronnie go down like this looking deformed with a half lat and wide waist. he should just pull a dillet and not flare out his lats at all and scrunch up his sholder blades like dillet does atleast then his back would look even

C'mon guys, don't you think it's a little early to jump to conclusions? All you have so far are jus three pictures, average quality, terrible angle, and some of the athletes is not even fullly flexed...
Usually pics don't tell all the truth but in this case I wouldn't be surprised if they are even misleading.

I think the short time from landing to stage time is having an effect on them. Flying can be a bitch when it comes to water retention.

slayer · « **Reply #33 on:** October 06, 2006, 01:03:48 PM »

jeeez what did it take 6 days for ronnie to look like hes totally in offseason form? ya hulkster and mattty he got hungry for revenge alright hahaha!

to bad dex and the gang did nt show up , could have easilly put ronnie out of the top 5!

Guys- I’ve never been to a show overseas, but one thing that is obvious to anyone who sits at home and looks at pictures in magazines and on the computer is this- Guys never look as good as they do in the euro grand prix shows as they do back home in the Olympia for whatever reason. Even when Ronnie was dominant in '04- Overseas he was still sick but his condition and separation wasn’t as good. It could be a number of factors- Lighting, post flight water retention, whatever- Bottom line is its too early to tell and nobody looks as "on" as they do in the Olympia. Sometimes (As I believe Mustafa beat Gunter a year or so ago in one of these shows) a guy who hasn’t gotten his due steps up and shocks the world.
Check out last years grand prix pics. That said, I am a Cutler fan but it would be pretty damn cool if someone beats Cutler- It will really throw some controversy and parody into the mix!!!

I honestly hope that if that happens, we will see a Mr. Olympia who deserves to win, take it home every year. If there wasn’t a consistent Olympia winner that won on the fact he had title alone, new life would be given to this so called sport of ours- Imagine if it the title was always really up for grabs! Name recognition not meaning shit!

I believe that Cutler did deserve to win this year... But I hope if next year someone comes in better and bigger and harder, they give it to someone else.

It conceivably could have been- Ronnie in 98, Flex in 99, Ronnie again in 00', Cutler in 01, Levrone in 02', Ronnie in 03 and 04, Dex or Gunter in 05' and Cutler again in 06'... 07'..... Martinez maybe...

If Cutler falls during one of these shows it could be the beginning of a whole new era. Guys who deserve to win actually winning. No more Mr. Olympia Infallibility!!!!

Just a thought...

Results:

1. cutler
2. coleman
3. rühl
4. james
5. rockel
6. eddie abbew

Pure Bullshit. Ruhl was BY FAR (!!!!!) the best athlete on stage (don't get me wrong, I hate Ruhl; but that's a matter of fact). Coleman doesn't even belong in the Top 5 (compare Coleman with Rockel for example

)

Are these Results official ?

if so, Markus owns his qualification for the next Mr. Olympia.

The 1. + 2. Place in my opinion where given before the contest even started.

Hope to see some pictures soon.

Coleman must be pissed, he should have just stayed home.

That's the sad thing about this sport. Wait for the pics. Placing Coleman in front of Markus is one of the biggest jokes in BB history, compareable with Kamali ahead of Wolf.

Congrats To Eddie Abbew for finishing 6th. I have to say that because I'm a Brit and out BBers are lagging these days. He could be a force if he ups the dosage.

I'm glad Ruhl has qualified for the O. Now he can concenrate on peaking once anywhere near O time which should do him some favours come comp time.

Federov need to get himself back together. He got great potential (minus great chest development) but he screws up in his preparations all the time.

Man...what happened to all the hype with Alex?

NarcissisticDeity · « **Reply #45 on:** October 06, 2006, 04:57:57 PM »

I'm glad Rockel got a fair shake in the Euro-Tour ! Ronnie is a lot lighter but man he's still way off.
