2013 Olympia - Jay Cutler at eight weeks.

[syntaxmachine]

so you're telling me what I intended to say?

One comment ago you said what you intended to say two comments ago, even though you managed not to do so. One can intend to say — or imply — one thing but actually say — or imply — another thing entirely (e.g., you can write 'cheeseburgers are delicious' and thus say that cheeseburgers are delicious, even though you may think 'cheeseburgers' refers to hot dogs and thus have intended to say that hot dogs are delicious); I'm simply holding you to what was actually implied, not what you intended to say.

That's the only reasonable thing to do barring psychic ability and assuming what is actually said seems to make sense.

WOOOOOOOOOOOSH

Hey, maybe he can grow into the show.   If anyone has the KNOWLEDGE, it's him.

But all that time off.... 40 years old... 21+ years of competition under his belt... I know it's being a "hater" if anyone picks Phil to win, but I think Phil has this one in the bag.

but people love a comeback and the underdogs, so the hype (which is also a strong factor in the judging i think) is definitely in Jay's favor

I don't think he expected Big Ramy to steal so much thunder, however, MD is now giving him quite a bit of play to build up his story line again. 

This will be an exciting Olympia following a lackluster and disappointing IFBB/ NPC season.

it's a storyline, which is very good for a contest.  Without the Jay line,it'd be nothing more than "We know Phil wins, we know Kai is 2nd... who will swoop in for 3rd this year?"

And the shawn ray "fck you!" thing was awesome too.  Haven't had a BBing feud in nearly a decade.  But aside from sentimental issues, I don't know that a lot of people are thinking Jay, at 40 and after 2 years of injury/semi-retirement, is going to beat the bigger/leaner versions of Kai and Phil, much less the new class of competitors that are a decade younger.

And the Olympia has to deliver some drama in light of how many pros sit out the season just to do the big one.

Jay just cannot get the seperation in his biceps and other muscle groups like kai or phil can get. I think it is a black thing-no racism intended.

Lol you seem to be forgetting about the 100's of white bodybuilders that have an insane bi/tri separation dumb race baitor

[FitnessFrenzy]

I know you are knowledgeable about men in thongs but I must disagree with you.

1) the level of muscle memory at the pro level especially is uncanny, 8 months is plenty of time.

2) Bodybuilding drugs are a big help (see#1)

3) how do you know he's only been training 8 months?  Like someone else said he probably has been training but just kicked it in high gear the last 8 months.

4) Arnold, I believe, did not train year round and look how great he did. I just don't think year round HARD training is necessary at the elite pro level.

By the thong of Nasser, Jay will win!

Such a beautiful expression (no homo)
