Nice thanks Ron.. ill have my popcorn ready and I'm inviting all my male friends over as non of my female friends show any interest in guys oiled down and posing with music 

[myt1]

Are they still doing the prejudging and finals on separate days then I am guessing?

Wish they'd go back to the old format, and just let them nail it as best possible on gameday.  It'd be a lot safer for them too I'm guessing

[Master Blaster]

I'll get my lucky towel and my astroglide ready for action (no homo)

[~UN_$ung~]

hey man, run a HDMI cable right fro the comp to the tv.........good shit, better then it being on television (barring any technical problems)

Has there been a webcast without?  lol

I've gotten to the point where I've accepted the day of's broadcast will piss me off, and just remind myself that the vids are perfect the next day when they upload them.  As an old guy though, I will always want them to put it back on ppv

I had some probs with them, but yeah it has been much much better for sure.  I'm just still really bitter about the year I paid Flex Wheeler my money and saw 5 working minutes of broadcast.  I'm an unforgiving asshole like that

[Wiggs]

im not aware of that story.........why would you pay flex wheeler for broadcast??

4) Dexter Jackson
5) Victor Martinez
6) Roelly Winklaar
7) Branch Warren
Ronny Rockel

that is a brave top 3.........i think your smoking rock


1.  phil was pretty fuckin close to 100% at the arnold.......and a marginal kai greene beat him (on the scorecards at least, i had him winning solidly)


2.  no one was even close to jay last year, he DOMINATED everyone...........assum ing jay comes in shape (which is defiantly a big IF)........no one is gonna beat him


3.  yeah, "MD curse" you say........well its true weider/ami wants to give the show to a weider/ami athlete...........but if jay comes in, once again, IN SHAPE.......they will have to give him the title.............becaus e if they dont the the olympia completely loses ALL credibility it will be too obvious

if jay comes in, in shape, and they dont give him the title, it will be SO blatant that ami/weider picks the athletes who win that the show will just become a joke.........so to continue exploiting the sport without being called out...........they will have to bite the bullet and give jay the title if he deserves it

[Aaron Singerman]

I'm rooting for Kai... But that is the way I think it's going down.
