cool vid, this years O will be a good one!!!
well, if thats true, my congrats go out to Ronnie, who is soon to be a 9 time Mr. O.
don't get me wrong - for the size that he was in 2003, ronnie looked unreal.but his 99 form still had much more detail and a smaller waist that looked much better IMO.lots of people on the internet think ronnie's 2003 form was his best ever...until you show them what he looked like in 1999 LOL
LOok you morons, bbing had to evolve or it would have gotten boring and the sport would have died. And in bbing tradition bigger has always been better, you talk about arnold, scott, haney, and dorian as have very pleasing physiques, you need to remember that in there day they were the mass monsters. All those guys were the jay, and ronnie's of there day. The sport had to become better, it had to improve and size has always been the way it goes.
Wrong. The sport is dying as we speak. The amount of drugs and pursuit for size is killing the sport imo
hulkster and his pathetic crusade with ronnie from 99.everyone was around when ronnie won in 99 and it was just another olympia - nothing special.i'm asked you at least 10 times to document ANYTHING from 99 or 2000 saying ronnie's form that year was the best ever.you cant bc there is nothing.
the bottom line is that the "sport" needs to re-invente itself. The criteria for what a mr. o is today seems to be totally different than what it was 25 years ago. Lots of people wouldn't like it and I feel bad for a guy like Jay who busted his ass to give the judges what they want but award the guys who present a body that fits the original criteria..your melvins, your victors, dexters, etc.
people have been saying that for decades.but more people are bodybuilding than ever.
I agree with some of the others here who say the peak was in the 80's. That I think was the best combination of size and aesthetics. The 90's could have been the best if people like Levrone, Flex, and Shawn Ray actually won instead of Dorian who looked unbelievably poor in comparison; he was just a stack of bricks. Not to intentionally piss people off, but I think that Dorian is the worst Mr. O ever.
Yates + 90's buddies = required huge amount of drugs to achieve the look. Burned out like sugar flies. Ron + Jay + Dex + Vic = use about half of what the Dorian regime used. That's why Ron is still around, that's why Jay is in for the long run and so is Vic. Current Pros > 90's pros -therefore-> Better genetics. So We're not regressing.
these are the highlights:'67 Oliva'74 Arnold'83 Bannout'86 Haney'93 Dorian'98 Coleman
Not to intentionally piss people off, but I think that Dorian is the worst Mr. O ever.
Ron's still around because he started gear late.
And Jay? He just turned 34 and he looks like he's 45.
Attendance says it all - and less people go to shows now.
Check out your facts bitch.
