Mr Olympia 2008 - Honda-Tech

I really wish Wolf and/or Freeman would place top 2.

But I'm sure theyll give it to Jay.

Discuss.

Cyclops · 09-26-2008, 11:09 PM

It's today and tomorrow.

Have you found a link with a live feed/pics/updates?

goforbroke · 09-27-2008, 12:39 PM

I believe the feed is going to be on musculardevelopment.com
Of course they are going to give it to Jay, politics are a bitch.

Cyclops · 09-27-2008, 11:35 PM

Dexter Jackson won HOLY SHIT.

I think Heath should have won, but any shortcomings he'll bring up and take it next year. Dex winning is a ton better than Jay though! Jay didn't even belong in the top 5.

goforbroke · 09-29-2008, 09:18 AM

I honestly don't think Heath should of won, but his time will come eventually. It appears like BB is going in a new direction for once, back to symmetry. Jay was holding a lot of water in his lower back, more then usually. His build is gross anyway, he looks like a lego block.

nsxmatt · 09-29-2008, 09:30 AM

Yes, Jay looked horrible in the lower back. His stomach has turned into what happened to Coleman. Too much drugs and too much trying to bulk over a period of time, his gut goes out and out the sides too.

daklown · 09-29-2008, 12:43 PM

yeah dennis wolf wasnt on top of it this year either.

dex ftw.

Cyclops · 09-29-2008, 04:12 PM

Wolf still looks awesome at 90%.

Dexter looked superb and heath looked great as well.

Jay looked [freak]ing sloppy as hell and I don't understand how he placed higher than all those other guys. Freeman ftw too!

I can't wait for the vids to come up on youtube.

Ricey McRicerton · 09-30-2008, 07:35 AM

Heath has a great physique, but I think his frame is too narrow and his pec insertion is too high to really ever win.

I'm pumped that Jackson won finally. He's so symmetrical it hurts.

Danger · 10-01-2008, 08:42 AM

im glad dexter won and david henry won the 202 class

i hate mass monsters!

but more important shawn ray might be making a come back, cant wait for that

nsxmatt · 10-01-2008, 09:05 AM

They starting a 5'4" and under class?

I haven't heard of that yet. I thought the only thing new was the 202lb and under class.

nsxmatt · 10-01-2008, 09:47 AM

I was kidding with the Shawn Ray comment, he's realllllly short.

daklown · 10-01-2008, 12:18 PM

dave henry is the man.

too bad hes not taller so he could actually have a shot at winning the overall.

Danger · 10-01-2008, 09:20 PM

listened to no bull radio yesterday and flex wheeler also said he'd make a come back in shawn ray did it. this could be interesting. now if kevin levrone could make a come back too

It would be cool to see Flex back!

goforbroke · 10-02-2008, 07:22 AM

It would be cool to see Flex back, considering he is a walking bag of oil.

These guys are kinda old in terms of bodybuilding though especially Shawn Ray. I believe he is 40-41 years old. It seems like most guys go down hill after 40 and they hit their prime around the 35 year old mark. Most of the guys who compete now are damn near 40 year olds and probably on the brink of retirement, hopefully for their healths sake.

If you guys ever noticed the first thing to go on bodybuilders is their legs. They always shrink. This applies when they get older. If you ever look at the master guys you will see what I mean. Vince Taylor is prime example.

levrone is my favorite BB'er (just ask cyclops/jdubya).

In his prime

and NOW......

daklown · 10-04-2008, 04:20 PM

yeah.

it would only take him less than a year and some gear to get back massive again is the crazy thing.
