this is what i said last year:
Jay is definitely going wrong with the blood type diet
which I still dont understand how Supposedly smart people in the world of contest prep get convinced with that
to me still his ironman 03 was the best shape
might be the lighting but even in 03 olympia he looked very good
but that year Ronnie was just dominant
2 weeks out of the ASC04 he looked phenomenal and I thought he might get it right this time
but no
I think he over dieted
cause 2 weex out he looked better than 01
just needed to drop some water
after that point he changed his training routine and went more to more of a Ronnie approach as far as intervals, reps and splits were concerned
in 01 he had a very weak back which he managed to improve a bit (width and thickness) but again he cant change the shape of his back lines and details
so no matter what he does he cant match Coleman or Yates
I think everyone was expecting too much from Wolf/chad
might be that what they did didnt work or that Ronnie and flex was just too gifted that any diet would have worked and didnt need anything besides basic for contest prep instruction
which a lot of guys are lacking these days and this is why I think that bodies dont look like before
everyone know that you have to stop most supplements (or even all, specially Protein Powder) a week out or more
yet you see top 10 guys using protein powder 1 day out
even if a guy looks good
some Olympia runner-ups use to drink regular Pepsi before getting on stage
which is wrong (do u think you will fill with Fructose??) + carbonated water
y would u do that
but they looked good enough to be a runner up
so other might think that is the right way
where if you know how the body and each nutrient work in it you would know that it is a very bad choice (so is ice cream)
I do agree that phil has a narrow structure
but if he is the best and the guys with broad shoulders cant out muscle him or match his condition
why would you place him behind the wide guy and blame it on him being narrow
if you had a guy similar to phil (muscularity, condition and symmetry) and had a broader shoulder than ok
so to me for phil anything less than 2nd place was an upset
and guess what
I was upset
haters would have complained if he had won
but guess what
so did they when Ronnie and dorian won so many times
to me ronnie and dorian deserved all the Olympia that they won (94 might be controversial but either way it was fare to some extend) and I think coleman should have won in 06
Victor and kai would have definitely been in the top 6
victor could have won this year if he should up like last year
and I think he will win it next year
that's my 2 cents ... if it makes any sense
