I think Phil has lost a lot of momentum. If he does fix the gut he'll never win again. If he does then he'll probably win again. Even if it's blisteringly close, they will reward him for the improvement and it will inject some excitement into the sport.


Even with the gut from last year he still beat everyone and even rhoden in most poses

He barely loss but if he comes back, only time will tell

In the top five in the Olympia and he's too old to be competitive. Has Lee Priest ever been in the top five? How about Munzer? Milos? Matarazzo?... a lot of great bbers wish they could have cracked the top five in the O.

None of those guys have ever been top 5. The closest was Priest who placed sixth, twice.

Absolutely disagree, and fortunately so did the judges. The abs are the centerpiece in the front poses. It is the neglect in this area that is the biggest complaint regarding modern bbing. They are now cracking down on the bubble gut and it is now given special scrutiny. Notice how Shawn Ray constantly commented on the guts both good and bad. Unless Phil makes this change he will not win again. They can't grant him a victory for a physique that has already lost.

That was my point. So many greats have never cracked the top five at the O so Dexter is still on a row and going strong and should still keep at it.

I wish this were true.  They gave Bonac 2nd place.  His bubble gut is horrendous.  Heath-eque minus the muscle.
