Starts tomorrow with pre contest (where placings are practically decided anyway) and night show on Saturday. I catch it every year to see the "freakiness" of pro bodybuilders elite.

    It's on in 30 minutes. I gotta teach a class, but I'll catch up on the comparisons after.

    As prejudging went on, he seemed to dry out more and more. And Phil seemed to start fading. IMO, I'm going to say that Phil has enough to win his 4th in a row, but that's not unusual in how the Olympia works.

    Just gotta say that as PROS in their business, all Fitness, Figure, Bikini, Pro bodybuilders, don't make jack unless they have sponsors and even then sponsors may only pay as high as $50,000 a year. And for the Pro bodybuilders, their gear probably cost more than they win. One really has to be committed to it because it's not that lucrative a business or profession to be in unless you're like the top 10 in the world in your class.

    IMO, the 212 competitors look better than the "big" boys in the Open Olympia. Their waistlines are much more streamlined vs the "gut" bulge from the Open competitors.

    Dang, Correia is so shredded. Best I've seen him. I have him second.
    Jose Raymond always has "flat" looking pecs to me. Not as asthetic either.
    Hide looks like he's smaller than before.
    Flex Lewis wins hands down.

    WOW. Watching Ronnie Coleman walk out on crutches and looking pretty weak was a shock. Apparently had replacement hip surgery. I've watched him squat 800lbs, so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.

    So pissed Dana got second, but Juliana was def a better competitor, and glad that Nicole got 4x Figure, still waiting on who's Mr. O! Kai's my man, but I don't know about it.
    And I agree, watching Ronnie come out on those crutches made me hurt. He's the man!

    Another win for Phil Heath. And a GOLD statue to boot!
    Kai second again. Don't know what else he can do, but there's a lot of politics in bodybuilding when it comes to placings.
    I think that Shawn Rhoden will end up being the next Mr. O soon based on his ascending placings each year.
