no comparison, that is too bad. there were a few others that were good to.

No shit, the golden age of bodybuilding, honestly against that lineup the only guys of today I could see in the top are Wolf and Victor. The IFBB should reinstate Lee immediately, his "suspension" is bullshit.

Nowhere near, but it is a very competitive show to try to place with the types of physiques this year. I don't know that we'll ever see an era like that again. You also had Nasser, Francois (briefly), Porter, and Cormier then.

i agree. this years olympia is a major disappointment. bodybuilding right now sucks. not ONE of the competitors onstage looks as good as the bodybuilders of the past. everyone symmetry and aesthetics is ruined by the current drug trends.

SAD...

I agree for aesthetics the 1980s ruled, for excitement the 1990s ruled.
The pro side of the sport does seem to have reached burn out in this day and age ......

Kevin Levrone Ruled!

synthol and other "site" inject drugs have ruined it

Jay is a mr O is a joke guys from the 90's looked/look so much better I cant believe what I see, this years mr O is a disgrace

The_Hammer · « **Reply #12 on:** September 29, 2007, 06:05:37 AM »

We need some comparison pictures.

Lets say 1995 Vs. 2007.

Hulkster · « **Reply #13 on:** September 29, 2007, 06:29:24 AM »

99 vs 07:

Mobil · « **Reply #14 on:** September 29, 2007, 06:35:37 AM »

the huge difference i see is dryness.. they shoot so much "site" inject drugs(not just synthol) that it smooths them out... theres plenty of other site inject drugs not mentioned on this board that have become popular. thats the year flex admitted to his synthol abuse.

this is a good thread. and for all the talk about phil he probably would have been out of the top 6 with this line up. If Kevin, Flex or Shawn was willing to become a human pin cushion again...he could steal an O crown now. I'm glad I skipped Vegas for this one.

Phil heath is absolutely kicking himself right now.

the judges were probably praying for a non-injured, non-synthol poster boy to crown.

check out Ronnie 2005 even compared to Ronnie 2007:

Hulkster · « **Reply #18 on:** September 29, 2007, 07:12:13 AM »

ronnie's chest, abs, thighsweep, delts all downhill..

but he is 43. we must not forget this.

The_Hammer · « **Reply #19 on:** September 29, 2007, 03:36:13 PM »

'99 is a good comparison, but a lot of guys that year were using synthol $:-\$

Also dont forget that Vince Taylor is much older, and still looks btter than Ronnie, i mean he still got the 90s look

marcus · « **Reply #21 on:** September 29, 2007, 03:56:01 PM »

Throw out the politics and put in Lee at 100% where would he place?

Beckles had a LONGER run and still never suffered for it .

other than placing 15th all the time..

no one is denying the greatness of Beckles or Taylor.

but like I said, you are comparing apples to oranges here.

Like most other things around here, you just lack the basic common sense and intelligence to see it..
