You can't be 10th in the world and also look like shit.  He looked awesome but was far from his best.  I think he has other priorities in life right now like building a future with his beautiful fiancee and having bit parts in movies.

Exactly, why the hell would he be pissed off at Charles Glass for being 10th in the world.

Charles Glass had better things to think about than that blocky mess of a man lol....Any trainer would have trouble with trying work with Gunter's frame...One minute he looks pretty darn good, the next he morphs into block man...

Gunters problem wasn't Charles, or his training...anyone who seen the Fitshow segment with Gunter training the last 2 weeks before the Olympia, could see that he looked great and was spot on...

Unfortunately, his last 48 hr. prep didn't go as planned, and he ended up coming in flat...his placing was refective of his conditioning.

That's bodybuilding..

I agree. He looked sick last year and he was trained for the contest by Glass. The guy has a shitty ab thigh. Same thing with Cutler. Looks great in all the poses but has a shitty abb /thigh. Everyone has there weak pose and that is Gunters. He will be back. The guy looked great in 02 and last year. I think he looks better than branch and those other blobs of drugs.

very true...charles glass was very confident that gunter would place really high at the olympia..and i saw each and every fitshow segment of gunter...yep big did look huge nou doubt..i would say he needs to take a whole year off and comeback strong in 2008..he was hyped more than jay this year for beating ronnie coleman.. so the moral of the story is DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE...

Jesus H christ. It sucks to think that all that training and dieting goes out the window because of 1 or 2 minor things can go wrong in a 48 hr period. Tough business.

That's EXACTLY the way it is...

The one thing you try to do through experience, is eliminate all the guess work that goes into the last 48 hrs.

Most of the problems occur with trying to do TOO MUCH in those final prep stages...where if things were just left alone, you would be better off.

Sometimes, going for an inch gets you a mile...in the wrong direction.

So why do so many pros go for that inch....is it like they cant resist the temptation. If i ever become a pro ill try to keep it nice and simple for the last 2 days.

No...kind of tough to MC the event and compete in it, unless of course....I announce MYSELF!!

Now that would be different...

Body building is the perfect activity for the obsessive compulsive person. When I would try to help friends of mine that fell into drugs and addiction when I was younger I would always try to get them into training. At least they could get addicted to something healthy.

Bodybuilding is a "sport" filed with insecure and compulsive people. Couple that with the androgen levels 300 times higher than a 16 year old boy and viola you have immature, petty bodybuilders. Flex was a perfect example of a extremely insecure person trying to portray himself as some kind of alpha male or bad ass. Always bragging and acting cocky. The true mark of insecurity! This does not go for all pros. But it does hold true to a large chunk of them.

Gunter's had plenty of time in the limelight.  A bodybuilding carear doesn't last forever.  Anybody who can get 10 years as a top pro should know it's going down hill after that.  With a very few exceptions, the dudes who participated in the 90's for the most part, are retired or should be.  Gunter is no exception and sees the writing on the wall.  He had his best year in 02', even beating Ronnie at the Europa.   He knows he'll never repeat that year.  Why should we expect more?

lol, I love it when pros do "last minute changes" in their hotel rooms right before the show.  What can you do in a couple of minutes to improve your condition?  Obviously no amount of cardio or training could do much of anything that close to a show other than the pump leading up to being on stage.

When your body is in such an unnatural state, it is incredible how slight variations in food and fluid intake can result in drastically different things depending on drug dose and timing.

One thing I noticed throughout my career, was that the more complicated the last 48 hour prep became...the more of a hit and miss it became.

The K.I.S.S. methoed, should be a requirement for all bodybuilders.

Early in my amateur career...with limited knowledge, I attained great conditioning without making any significant changes...the more I progressed, the "smarter" I became, the more off I would come in...

Bottom line is...any great changes after you've been on the same schedule for 12-14 weeks, will backfire more times than not...

Does anyone here honestly think the ironage pros concerned themselves so much with timing?  Arnold was eating eggs and coffee right before the show and it just seemed like he was having another meal because he was invited to breakfast by the Ferrignos.  I don't think he was thinking much about how it would affect his condition and he came in as shredded as can be.

Serious question: What exactly does "flat" mean? Got example pics of Gunter "flat" vs/ not flat (preferrably same pose, lighting, etc...so as to make the illustration obvious to those of us who aren't in the know)?

And, how does one become flat vs/ not flat?

Sure...someone post a picture of Gunter from the '02 GNC, and one from the  '06 Olympia...you'll see the difference in 2 seconds.

"Flat" occurs when the athlete's carbing up process isn't working...basically, they are still in "depleating" mode, when they're trying to carb up...the muscles aren't taking up the carbs, and instead, the metabolism is just getting stoked even higher leading to a "flat" look....as in muscles are not full looking, they dont "pop" when flexing...

but why are some veterans kept repeating the same mistakes and never seem to be able to past the Hurdles and dial it in on time. Is it mental or some guys just don't get it. Dennis james is all too famous for looking great 2 or 3 weeks before a show, only to fall victim to his own mistake a couple days out. I'm sure help is somehow available to those who can't or don't know how to hit the bull's eye
