New York Pro - Silvio Samuel will win

[Ron]

The Swami predicted Dennis James. I predicted Darrem Charles before he pulled out. Lift predicted Desmond Miller, but that was way back in March before the Ironman deadline.

Right now, it is as follows...

So here goes, the predictions…

1) Desmond Miller - this guy is a rookie, this guy is huge, this guy has the hype behind him, and this guy is MD’s man - cover of the magazine, and MD is in New York, and this is their hometown, and thus, Desmond should win by default. Oh, hell no, not a rookie. Why him? Because he looks good, and he has been preparing for this show, and his destiny is here.

2) Of course, Branch Warren will have no part of this destiny crap, for Branch’s failure at the Arnold will not happen here. Look for a sharp, crisp Branch who is going to regain what he didnt get at the Arnold Classic.

3) Dennis James. Never count out Dennis. For those who say he isnt ready, Dennis James has been in the gym in New York for a week making sure no time or jet leg will affect him. Dennis is big, a powerhouse, and will easily qualify for the O.

4) Craig Richardson.  Everybody counts out Craig. Why. Because. But I think Craig might be the dark horse here… and qualify for the O. Then again, oh well..

5) King Kamali. It is his time. It is his destiny. It is his fate in 2007 to qualify for the Olympia, to prove to the naysayers that the King is back, and bigger and with a smaller stomach than all of 2006. No more powerlifting for the King, his mind is pure bodybuilding. King’s hometown is New York and they love him there. If he doesn’t make the top 5, the place will riot.

6) Dennis Wolf. I am big, I am bad, I am bigger - and this year I am ready to stun the audience. Okay, I said that before, but this year, I really, really mean it. I want to go to the Olympia and prove that in the past, it wasnt my time. But this year is my time. And King, get out of my way, that top five placing is mine.

7) Silvio Samuel - I just saw him at Koleseum Gym training away, and this guy can really do damage. Most likely place in the top five, and qualify for the O. So why isn’t he in the top 5. I don’t know… He should be. But will he be overlooked in New York.  After all, this is New York, not Texas, and can he retain his physique from the early shows. Yes. Silvio in the top five. Very easily.

having 3 guys spot you on the smith machine doing partial reps is not bodybuilding.

I couldnt give a rat's ass who will place in the top 5. or even who wins the damn show.Whats in it for us? We can discuss this till the sun begins to shine, but the fact is these pro's are doing something that they like, the achieving(climbing) philosophy. We're just wasting our time discussing what place they will come in, instead of that we should go and do our own goals, and concentrate on that.  im only interested in the mr olympia results.. thats just my personal opinion.

you care, you wouldn't be in this thread otherwise.

How sure are you that the New Yorkers love Tamali? Prolly they're cursing themselves for having Tamali wandering at their town

Nobody does count out Dennis, but he has developed a track record at looking insane 4 weeks out, and then something always "seems to go wrong." Or maybe it's because he's always alone in his pictures?!?! It's either "jet lag," wrongly timed carb loading, this mysterious virus that's been hampering guys for the last few days prior to a contest the last 3-4 years, or burn out.
I would love to see Dennis live up to his potential, but till he does, he's yet to live up to the hype.

Branch over Dennis Wolf? 

[donrhummy]

Well, speaking to Shawn Ray, he thinks that the top five will be...

1) Silvio Samuel
2) Desmond Miller
3) Dennis James
4) Branch Warren
5) Dennis Wolf

If Craig Richardson is in shape, then he will place in the top 5.   According to Shawn, King Kamali will be right where he was last year.... making excuses again...

Nothing better than a gut monster winning!

Go Silvio!

[adipo8]

Good point.  Unless Silvio brought something to the table we've never seen before.  I don't see how Desmond could have made drastic improvements in the short time since those offseason pictures were posted.  I understand why Shawn would be biased - King has said some very caustic shit about him in the past.  Regardless, if King were to come in as he did in 2001, I think he could round out maybe the top six.  Maybe higher if the other guys were off.  There is some decent quality in that lineup.  Not sure why people were saying Wolf doesn't look good.  He is huge and still has a tiny waist and midsection relative to his size.

silvio has placed very high - beating out branch at the arnold and falling only behind Phil heath at the arnold - He has a very good chance. Desmond? Needs more balance. DJ - That's is a Problem - as a warm up last year he pulled good numbers and expect more of the same. Dennis Wolf brings great shape. King - if he reduced his weight and increased his shape - He can compete.

great show
