10 POUNDS OF SHIT IN A 5 POUND BAG! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOLDEN YEARS OF BBING.
easy. The judges got it wrong for so long that alot of the top guys lost sight of what BB really is. Jay looked great in 01 and still lost to an out of shape, bloated ronnie coleman. What do people really expect jay to do? For all intents and purposes nothing jay could ever have done would have been enough unless he got "bigger". This is what the judges dictate. I don't blame Jay one bit for the body he presents right now, he did what he needed to do to win as dictated to him by the judges. I'm SURE jay would rather walk around at 240lbs like he did a few years ago in contest shape but in order for him to be the "number 1" BB in the world this is what he had to do.
Right now..well the 06 Olympia or even the 05 olympia Ronnie and Jay didn't represent what BB is supposed to be, the closest thing to it out of the top guys is probably Dexter, he's big, he's cut, he's detailed, he's hard, seperated, small waist for the most part etc...now I know other guys represent this like Melvin last year but Dex has been up there for awhile now and the judges have basically told him "you're 240lbs and totally ripped but there's no way you're gonna win the olympia no matter what you do" which is a shame.
Out of the pics I've seen of both Jay and Ronnie and knowing what the judges want the winner of the O to look like I'll take the package Jay is offering.
