didnt know it was only 10 weeks away.

as the years have gone by it seems we get much much less pre contest previewws with pics. i remember when i first came here wed get 10 week out-9 week out - 8 week out.....1 week out-5 days out-3 days out.... form just about every competitor...... now we are lucky t get one or two from on or two guys...and its never the top guys either

Yeah, and this year is very competitive between several guys who could take it.

I have no idea who I would like to win. Jay is a mess, Dexter is too small, Heath has lacking bodyparts, Victor has oil, Kai is just weird, Dennis W looks thin standing next to others...maybe I go with Kai.

I think ESPN's 20 day countdown will be starting soon.

I agree , it's exciting for a change the sport has been revitalized I'm curious to see if Dex can repeat and how Vic and Wolf and Heath are gonna look , I think Jay is done but you never know , a loss really motivates people some time.

it will be interesting

jay needs to bring back 06 (well, 2001, but he wont be able t5o do that).... dexter isnt too small at all... heath isnt lacking any body parts and his condition is outstanding he just needs width, victor looks great and just needs to come in dialed with his legs back to normal, kai is a front runner as long as he comes in the way he has been coming in..one possible flaw is if his obliques keep growing, dennis looks great but he hasnt made any progress in two years and the physique he has been bringing wont be enough to take it but if he improves it he could be the champ

What's this Olympia thing? Like a schmoe convention or something?

According to Mr. Weider, it'll be the greatest Olympia of all time!

It's not like the 90's, early 2000's where we had a solid lineup of competitors....when guys like Levrone, Matarazzo, Dillett, Flex were on stage...those were deep lineups, now there's maybe 3 or 4 guys you care about and everyone else can tie for 17th.

only if you see it that way I guess. personally i don't.

I think Dexter is a boring mr Olympia. When Ronnie and Jay were going at it, fans were enthused and more passionate. Lackluster Dex has got to be hard to market

webcake · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2009, 06:27:22 PM »

Good O this year. Open for anyone really. I'm tipping Jay will take it again.

Ex Coelis · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2009, 07:44:49 PM »

I've started like five threads hyping the Olympia

Dex, Phil, Wolf, Vic, Kai, Branch, Toney, Jay, Melvin . . . Ronnie

At least 6 of them have a legit shot of winning!

People who don't find this exciting are just negative nancies

I love it when old people claim that things were better back in their day

as the years have gone by it seems we get much much less pre contest previewws with pics. i remember when i first came here wed get 10 week out-9 week out - 8 week out.....1 week out-5 days out-3 days out.... form just about every competitor...... now we are lucky t get one or two from on or two guys...and its never the top guys either

thats probably before the message boards fragmented and every body started paying pros to only post on their own shit board, what a terrible prescedent to start........our subculture is just not big enough to support a dozen high-traffic boards.

pro bodybuilders are so insecure and attention starved, they would have always posted anyway, why would you start paying them.........god i hate blechman.
