Vic does look surprisingly better then last couple of years, best since his NOC. Lots of people were bashing him on here saying that he's career was done and he's ruined his physique. Not the case this year Mr. O! Much improved, not just size wise but also his conditining and his overall look is much more appealing. However, considering the politics in IFBB, I very much doubt it would ever be given to him this year or even next. Way too soon to jump out in the winning ranks like that...If IFBB were really to follow so called "new standards" for aethtetically pleasing physiques, the tables would totally turn and we would see the winners list go like this: Vic, Dex, Mel, Darrem, Dave Henry.
Looking at the kings of the past few years ("05 vs. 06 comparison" thread) Jay and Ronnie both look softer this year then last. Both hold water and I don't even want to start on the waistline issue...Horrible
