Mr. Olympia

Hanley

DEX WINS!! DEX WINS!!


Who saw that coming??? I'm glad he finally got one.

Serious props to Dennis Wolfe too. Definitely a Mr. O in the making.



Jay on the left, Dex on the right.

Lol... The Olympia isn't an MCD event. The problem was people started talking about Mr. Ireland in the other Mr. O thread, which was subsequently locked as a result.

So long as you checked....Why do you think Dex won? He has a more balanced physique would be my guess. Neither Jay nor Dex seem to be very large in the leg dept, maybe that's cause there's nothing beside them to compare to???

yomchi

He's had this coming for a few years. Glad he got it this time around. Cutler looks soft there compared to last year. Look at Dexters symmetry, excellent.

Although I may sound like a clueless fool here I shall still ask the question, in all seriousness, it may sound it but I'm not taking the pis$...


Can they lower their arms to their sides with lats that size? Or are their arms 'stuck' in a kinda 'wingish' position due to the huge lats...

podge57

good to see a new winner - cutler def. didnt deserve it

although i though heath should have won, he stood out the most for me, i thinki he could go on to win the next 5 or 6, although victor martinez might have something to say about it when he returns

That's the "relaxed" pose. It's one of the complusaries. It's just the way the pose is done, then can put their arms down (but probably not by much!! )

Heath looked AMAZING. I was really really impressed with him. He's not a big enough player to win yet tho. He's a big name, but not quite big enough ya know???

Dex is the total package. He's had it coming a long long time. Cutler came in in brutal condition this year. Really soft. His back looked like it had a film of water over it, and there was no detail there either.

I wouldn't say their legs are small, look at the way Cutler's rub together!! It becomes REALLY apparent from the side how massive they are tho.

The Dex blokes waist-to-chest measurement would make some interesting reading. Fu<king hell, tiny waist, HUGE back/chest... checked out a photo of him with his hands sort of over his head and its even more pronounced, what BF region are these lads in?

brianthebard

Lolz not saying they are small, I'd say they are well over thirty inches...maybe comparing them in my mind to Coleman makes them seem smaller! Will google for a side view so.

Frank Bullitt

Cutler really looked awful, he is supposed to be defending for gods sake, he is obsessed with size as well.

rubadub

They look remarkably different, usually they all look similar enough to me, but I don't follow any of it.

45" chest, 27.5" waist.

Sub 4% per calipers probably.... "Shredded" is the word you're looking for

Those lads have obviously put in a **** load of hard work and I don't want to knock them because there's very few people able to produce results like they have but that is just horrible to look at in my opinion.

There's a surfing forum here... shoud I go tell the guys there that the things they do is "horrible" to look at too...?

fatal

wow!!Certainly wasn't expecting that result.Well done DEX.
Now that ronnie and cutler are gone,the next few olympia's will be interesting with the likes of dex,heath and wolf

The guys obviously love what they're doing, it just doesn't look natural to me and caused me to comment on it. If you don't like the look of surfing sure go ahead, I think the word they use is "sick":D

I'm gonna send this thread off topic if I go on any further so I'll leave it at that and leave it for the rest of you's to discuss the competition.

g'em

Jeebus, Cutler looks (relatively speaking, not in reality speaking) sh!t. Soft as poop.

Delighted to see Dex won finally, it's well deserved.

Tbh I never thought I'd see the day when Dex placed higher then 3rd. Looks like they're trying to push away the whole mass monster ideal. Especially with all the newbies coming in. I reckon tony freeman is going to do some damage in years to come as well, he's tall and his frame looks like it can pack a good bit more on it

stehigg

Yea delighted for Dexter but i think his chest is too small to be a Mr.Olympia. Denis Wolff and Phil heath really look like the future tho. Im shocked that Jay even got placed he is in such bad condition. That could be the end for Jay. Obviously his diuretics didnt work the way they have in previous years. Whats annoying is he was off last year too and still won!!

d-gal

Dex looked great, thank god the Mr.Olympia judges have taken a look at symmetry for once not just sheer bulk. disappointed in wolf, thought he would have shaped up better, heath to win it next year, fantastic shape

COH

Dexter looked great and was worth the win. Heath in particular looked great, and while 3rd was a great placing for him I thought he definately deserved 2nd.

Didn't like the look of Cutler at all tbh, don't think he warranted a top 5 finish at all

greenmonster

Shame Jay couldn't get in shape... saw some off-season guest-posing pics and he looked better than at the O. Can't see Dexter winning again though. Thought Cutler would've won one more before Martinez comes back next year. The next few years'll be Heath, Martinez and maybe Wolf if he can get some fullnes into the upper body (and some lower lat implants....).

He does have a pretty horrendous gut considering this though.

Indeed, I love Jay and thought it would have been great if he was able to bring it and win again.

No denying that Dex was the rightful winner though!

tribulus

If this is a genuine shift to the more balanced, symmetrical physiques as contest winners and not just a glitch due to a poor Jay Cutler then I for one will have a greatly renewed interest in pro BB'ing.

That's not to knock the supreme effort and freak factor from the bigger guys but I've always found the smaller guys e.g. Dexter to have a more impressive look.
