Dennis was so motivated last year that he "overdieted", and was 2-3 weeks out the Olympia better than on day X.
In the following weeks he lost a few pounds of muscles and was a bit to flat at the Olympia, even he climbed 1 rank up, from 5th to 4th.
I believe he learned his lessons from last Year....when i saw him at the Fibo 2009 anybody it was obvious that he carried more muscles than ever in his whole carreer. Last year he said he competed around 260 lbs...but he looked better with 270 lbs. 2 weeks before the olympia.
I see him competing this year (if everything wents ok) between 275-280 lbs. If his shape at this weight is Mr. Olympia-like...the combination with his bone structure + the new muscles on his big frame will make him the eyecatcher in the Mr. Olympia-Line-up.
The question this Year is, who of the Top 5 will be in "Mr. Olympia-Shape" and which "not" ?
(Jackson, Heath, Greene, Cutler, Wolf.....never in the history the Mr. Olympia was that "open")
P.S. ok, i´m german....
