Keith, I got ten pushups on youtube that say Ronnie is 1st or second. You game? 
Yes Ronnie has won 8 in a row, but everyone knows he didn't deserve 2 of those 8. Ronnie's gameplan is to keep on going even though he was injured and hasn't given his body the time needed to grow back from those injuries. If he gives into saying he injured himself, the hype (and the $$$) goes down. Of course the hype for the past 2 years starts to raise when pictures of him guestposing in heavy offseason condition (where it's really difficult to see the true effects of his injury) along with carrying a lot of water.
Of course, the hype players know that Ronnie won't be able to hide anything at this year's Olympia. Once a clear shot comes in, people will be able to see more into and the hype will die down.
His back, which was the deciding factor in his win of the '05 Olympia, has suffered from these 2 injuries he is rumored to have sustained. I don't think conditioning will help his deteriorating body. In fact, I think improved conditioning will only show these declines even more clearly.
Victor Martinez is coming into his own and living up to his potential. Not to mention he won the Arnold after reportedly being involved with that big drug bust in Florida, which was all in the news at the time. Victor's win was very critical. And I think he immediately put him in discussions about Jay and Ronnie.
If you'd rather do labor then pay up, that's fine with me.
