The bar has fallen so far for our Mr. Olympia..

[Hulkster]

will it ever be raised again?

 

Haney set a new standard in 84.

Dorian set a new standard in 93 (although some feel it was not for the better).

Ronnie raised the  bar again in 98/99

and again in 2003 (although like dorian, some feel it was not for the better).

Now, we have Jay...

and if you compare him to past Mr. O's, we are going backwards, and fast...

everything peaks...bodybuilding is no different

with ronnie was the absolute peak in how big and conditioned a human could get

i dont think anyone will quite be the same as him.

trust me someone is going to come along in the next 5 years. it happens all the time. peaks and valleys.

The only person I can see coming close to Ronnie's size is Trey and I doubt he'll live long enough to get there. And if he does he still won't look as good. Wolf also seems like he's still got a lot of potential but the moment the waist expands it's over.

Ronnie did NOT raise the bar in 1998/1999 give me a fucking break 2003 YES 1998/99 NO not even close . 98 he was a dense & dry 249 pounds whoopie-do Yates was 257 pounds dense & dry in 1993 , 1999 he was a fuller and less conditioned 257 pounds WOW-WEE Dorian was 270 pounds and just as dense & dry as Coleman in 1998 and better conditioned than Ronnie 1999 .

2003 Ronnie was set the bar for heaviest and the best conditioned at that weight on stage !! Dorian's been just as heavy and harder at the same weight guest posing big deal , Dorian wouldn't set onstage unless he was well conditioned Ronnie should have taken that cue before making a joke out of himself.

Ronnie was the biggest, sickest, freakiest bodybuilder, ever....it wouldnt even be close those years he was at his peak- Ronnie make a joke out of himself? Your an idiot man. Ronnie would of destroyed dorian.

NO fucking kidding it wouldn't be close if he was at his peak hence why he's making a joke out of himself NOW  get it? and Ronnie had six years to try and destroy Dorian the closest he ever came was 5th

Very true - Ronnie took bodybuilding to its limit in 03 and started to go downhill from there. Dorian got consistently better in conditioning with the exception of 94. Jay hasn't raised the bar at all.

[Zach Trowbridge]

Jay looks like a bag of smashed assholes in a syphilis duffel bag.

2007 Mr. O!

[bizzy]

I taped the 2003 Olympia on pay per view the night it came on
and was blown away by Ronnie's size and condition. The same night
I played the prejudging of the 99 Olympia and was blown away by how
much better Ronnie looked in 99 than even his 2003 form. By the evening in 99 he had lost alot
of fullness but I think the best bodybuilder ever was Ronnie at the 99 O
prejudging. I have seen video of 2001 Arnold classic too. Looked great but the
extra 10 pounds of muscle he had in 99 makes all the difference.

[Nordic Beast]

hulkster you are such a sore sport

admit Ronnie looks terrible and he deserves to lose

stop talking about the past

this is 2007 and the other BBers who are better than Ronnie this year deserve respect

everyone knows Ronnie was great but noone wants to talk about past history while the 2007 Mr Olympia is going on!!!!!!!!

Again moron he didn't own shit he made an empty claim like you do and get exposed for it ! I have the contest reports for 98 and 99 and they failed to mention this new fantastic level Ronnie reached , ever wonder why? because its ONLY in your imagination and you've been taking a beating on every thread you typed it lol its a dark day to be a Coleman fan , keep posting 99 pics kid thats all you have left .

he looked better fuller but his conditioning suffered for it , his best showings are 1998 Mr Olympia and 2001 Arnold classic because specifically his conditioning was spot on , 99 he was great but NOT as sharp as the fore mentioned .

[Hulkster]

lol exposed by who?

you?

the resident retard of getbig?

the guy who gets owned by posters all over the place with your ronnie bashing?

please.

ok, Mr diabetic

[NarcissisticDeity]

LOL ND still seeing what no one else is..

 

Oh yeah both Ronnie and Peter Mcgough both say his conditioning was better in 98 than 99 so much for seeing huh? oh and BTW they were there in person that trumps your pictures. 

[NarcissisticDeity]

lol exposed by who?

you?

the resident retard of getbig?

please.

 

I don't bash Ronnie I don't troll threads like you do , posting the same 99 screencaps lol you've been chastised a LOT lately for your trolling and you're the resident fucking retard you think you're just as qualified to judge a contest AT HOME VIA PICTURES than a professional judge is live and in person , you're ignorant and bitter , the same happened last year when Ronnie lost you cried for weeks lol

[dearth]

another pathetic thread to salvage some of ronnies dignity by a pathetic fanboy - huckster...

give it up . coleman looks like shit.

prior to Jay, no mr olympia over 270lbs had actual abdominal definition.
for proof look at that the sack of crap ronnie calls a midsection.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Great post ! give it up fan-boy Ronnie's done , hey wait seeing Hulkster said he's just as qualified to judge a contest at home on his PC than professional judges are who are live and in person he probably has Ronnie winning with straight firsts lol

[Hulkster]

who is saying ronnie DOESN'T look like shit?

what is it about all the ronnie haters being so fucking stupid?

none of them can apparently read and understand english properly...

nor can they understand the context of any of this.

it is so far over their heads its scary.

its amazing how none of you have even elementary critical thinking skills..

[bizzy]

The fact that bodybuilding is subjective is part of what makes it
interesting. One person thinks 2003 Ronnie is the greatest.
Another 98, 99 2001? ect. Was Dorian or Ronnie's back the best?
How would Arnold do with todays chemicals? ect...
Keep the debates going and let the bodies hit the floor...
otherwise this could be a pretty boring (sport?)

Ronnie set the bar too this year for past his prime ex-Mr Olympias who should have packed in it last year ! and it has NOTHING to do with being a Ronnie hater its stating the obvious.   

and you should NOT be commenting on people critical thinking skills you're the fucking moron who thinks Dorian lost the 1993 Mr Olympia and you're just as qualified to judge a contest via pics than judges are in person , you lack critical thinking skills when its concerned to competitive bodybuilding
