Title: Who will be the next guy under 30 to win an Olympia?
Post by: 240 or bust on November 23, 2005, 07:33:33 AM: Phil Heath? Flex Lewis?

Someone we haven't heard of yet?

Or is muscle maturity such a pre-req now that we'll be seeing guys in their mid 30's win it, once Big Ron's ship sails?

Flex Lewis works with Dorian Yates, is only 22, and has some unreal legs.

Here he is with Luke Wood, holding his own.
well if he is still a kid basically, then I think he does have a chance to be a contender, but he needs to bring the upper body up

I think it's possible that someone could win it in their late 20's, but it's not like they're gonna come out of nowhere.

You'll see him before he makes a splash......

I'm not sure what direction the O will go in once Ronnie retires.......

I figure Jay will win the next one at least........for being such a gracious loser all those years.

"flex lewis" is like 5 fot 4 or 5, no one that short should be winning any olympia other than a midget olympia.

Post by: kiwiol on March 20, 2006, 11:26:09 AM: If Frank McGrath starts training with Charles Glass, has Dorian's (or Ronnie's) work ethic and uses Chad or Milos for nutrition, he could be the next Mr O. He's got no major weaknesses, is structurally pretty good and has a lot of freaky body parts. Plus, he's 5'11 - the ideal height for Mr Olympia. Plus, he's quite young and has enough time to mature.

I think Phil Heath could do it by 28-29...

Unless of course, he does something dumb like enter the Colorado Pro...

Post by: Adam Empire on March 20, 2006, 12:36:48 PM: Not if they want to live past 40.

Take a look at the two recent showings by Bennefatto (sp?) and Vince Taylor. These guys are still responding to the stuff after soooooo many years. My opinion of that is because they didn't "juice to the gills" from ages 17-28 just to be a young O winner. They took their time and played it smart - and have careers decades long - which can bring more fame and wealth overall.

Wishful thinking? For sure, which is why I mentioned all those conditions. But between Flex lewis, Phil heath and Frank McGrath, you cant deny that McGrath has the best genetics, structure, size, height, weight and freakiness.

But a potentiality is not an actuality (unfortunately). So, time will tell if Frank will realise his full potential or join the legions of others who didn't. I personally would love to see Frank go upto 280+ (competition weight) and become the next Mr O. Then again, that's just me - sure a lot of people want to see bodybuilding go the way of a lighter, smaller waisted guy becoming Mr Olympia.

Cant find much pics of the man. Hey Matt C, got any new pics of Frank? Does anyone have any news on him at all ???

Jay is way past 30. I dont think you read the title fully - says 'under 30'

Post by: Adam Empire on March 21, 2006, 07:22:37 AM: In the near future, we will be lucky to have (healthy) pros under 30, much less O contenders. I really hope the up and coming bbers see the ages of the past Mr. O's and realize it's a long road - save your kidneys and liver...
