What do we all think about Wolf's upward mobility? as in how much better can he get and whats the best spot he can get.
Arnold- 1st.........he already won last years (Branch did not deserve 2012 arnould.........he looked like crap)
Mr. O - 3rd. Don't realistically see him doing better than this and I am a wolf fan.

Until he gets that gut in check and brings up lagging bodyparts (cough calves) he will begin a slow but steady descent from here on.
On the calf front I could be acting a little unfair, he has done a great job on his quads but they now really show up how weak his cows are.....
Rommy will have a fit in a mo.''There’s this battle over waterboarding at places like Guantanamo Bay. I think that they should just say, “Hey, if you guys don’t talk, you have to see Hercules In New York.” I guarantee those guys would talk much faster. You don’t need to do waterboarding or anything else. That’s the ultimate threat.''

I think it's really more a question of downward mobility. (I'm not kidding either).
I don't see him being able to make much more significant improvements to his physique.
That's just me personally though.
I think with the plethora of young talent coming through he's probably going to be ushered into lower placings overtime.
I hope Branch goes first though, dear god...

I think the best he can hope for will be top 5-6 for the next year or two, but if even half of the up and coming pros develop like we think they will, he will be bumped from those placings in the near future.

Olympia potentiaal was there but now all we have is assymmetrical lat syndrome(new disease) atrophied calf syndrome(new disease) and northern european skin that unsuccessfully adapted to the vegas sun .

yeah but the young guys probably need another 1-3 years.
I think if he just did the MR. O or anould he might be able to get his gut down a big. IF he hit is conditioning whcih is rarely does maybe a 3rd?
I honestly have no idea why branch is still placing so high......not a pleasent looking phsique.....only won the 2012 Arnould cause it makes a good story to sell

Can't see him beating Ced, Rhoden, Victor, Evan etc.
Even Dex if he wants to go for the Arnold again.
EDIT: I should clarify, I see what you're saying about missing it, but I really don't see all of them missing it, and realistically I don't see him beating any of them other than Evan, although he should come into next year improved.

i love wolf.
i love what he brings as far as shape and mass with lines.
...but i don't see him cracking the top tier with the up-and-come'rs on the rise. rohden, mcmillian, and the premier top tier will and should keep him out of the top five at the O for some time.
i am NOT like others, and do NOT think he deserved the arnold last year. not to say i would decry such a win. i just felt he lacked too much. evan has great potential, but needs further devolopment. branch, for all his weaknesses capitalized on a weak roster, and by vid (imo, and i'm no branch fan) deserved that win. disagree all you like, but no argument holds undisputed weight.
wolf needs a shorter torso, deeper lats, something called calves, and a stage-consistent vacuum. where he's good, he's great, but where he misses, he's off the charts.___________________________________________________________
from 6th to 3rd ...and on to 1st?

3rd at the O? Or the Arnold?
I think he could certainly place top 3 at the Arnold. For sure that's a possibility, but I just see it as being sort of the best he could do. I think top 5 at the O is really the scope of placing he's going to be looking at.
You're right though the new guys will take couple years.
But I think Rhoden and Cedric are already there in terms of size. I mean Rhoden already took him once, I personally think Cedric could beat Rhoden, but now that Rhoden is on a roll perhaps not. We'll see though. I think those guys are the two guys to watch this year. I duno what Cutlers intentions are to do with the next Olympia. I think he seems to be quite committed to giving it his best, so he may even let Dennis slip a placing. Victor is too tough to say it's been that long since he's done a show now. I wonder what show he would prep for in attempt to qualify for the O.
Look he's not done. He needs to make some relatively drastic improvements is all, I think most people agree on that and agree it's unlikely he can make them.
His conditioning + coming in full is a big thing though, which he is more than capable of pulling off.
Essay over.
