Road To Olympia THREAD ( All Mr O Athlete videos and pictures here )

[refractor]

I'm a huge Jay fan. I definitely think he's smaller compared to how he was, but don't think he's as small as how many people are making him out to be.

This isn't a great comparison pic - since he's closer to the camera by a bit and my scaling isn't the best, but I guess it gives a good idea of his size. Phil for one, looked MASSIVE(and defo like a Mr. O), in the last pictures of him from the gym and Jay still looks like he'd be wider/bigger than him going by this photo. I think they are both around the same height as well.




Its a Go Jay! for me, but may be the best man win

[sexnews]

[mormonpickett]

Who else will be there but me???

[mormonpickett]

Any Kai pics? I feel like he's stayed pretty underground lately...

[mormonpickett]

^Jay looks small (shoulder width)

[intensebro]

212 and Open class competitors? wow...

Ramys gut is sticking out further than his chest. Not that that means he's not ripped, buuuuuuuuuuuut.

I cannot wait for this bandwagon to crash I really can't.

[nonamewut]

Ramy looks like that serpent/giant snake that Arnold killed in one of his movies lol

This thing? lmao

oh lawd haha

[BillyBil]

So maybe there is hope for Levrone at 48! The Return.

exactly the same thought came in my mind!!!!

[Alito2013]

So maybe there is hope for Levrone at 48! The Return.

Dexter is 43,Jay is 40,Toney 47,old timers are coming stronger than ever. Levrone has the chance to make a comeback.

[jahaa]

I get the sense he's just trying to promote some products i dont know why..... its just something i feel

With all this type of rhetoric everywhere, it really has me wondering if Jay already knows that he is guaranteed to win? Just like Arnold already knew he'd win in 1980, and Franco in 81, guaranteed. Do you really think Arnold would have risked everything without a guarantee?

Dan Solomon just stated on Mondays show, that when he looks at everything (not just the physique) Jay will win. I'm now starting to believe that although Jay will most certainly not be the best onstage, he's still gonna win.

I say if Jay was a total unknown from Iran, will all his imbalances, he'd come dead last. I'm not saying that he'd deserve dead last.

I'm saying that the 2013 Mr. Olympia is 50% muscle contest, and 50% popularity contest.... very sadly

But heath has a shirt implying he will win too. How does that fit with your conspiracy theory?

well Steve Blechman said something similar on the last pbw... but he approves and encourages it..
there was some posts on md but i couldnt find it

edit.. queted from md forums

STEVE BLECHMAN (on pbw):

-"I personally believe that Mr "O" isn´t about necessarily the biggest or the best physique on stage that day,it´s about the overall representation of the sport,and no one does it better than Jay Cutler..."

Steve B. (forum)
"The best man that night should win the Olympia. If two guys are equal, the best man that can represent the sport should win. Business is business. The fan base of bodybuilding has gone down over the years! It is in the best interest of bodybuilding to have a Mr. Olympia champion that can travel around the world and best represent the sport and promote bodybuilding! "

[Budjola]

wonder what kind of tan will Jay pick, will he go with light version or he will go full dark. personally i think lighter version is better but it shows more "errors" on your body

[intensebro]

Don't throw logic at a conspiracy theorist, it's like trying to throw a baseball to a wide receiver.

[featureless]

OMG!! Life is so great right now.

[unique1]

BPI sports said it. They are the new Superpower in a multi- billion dollar a year industry. Do ya really think they're gonna say that and be wrong? Just think about what they can afford to buy.....

Phil and Kai are great bodybuilders, but have nowhere near the earning power Jay has.

[Alito2013]

Another Pic of Jay and Ramy...seems to exist already a good vibe between the champ and the rookie.

[Agabekov]

sitting silently and watching plenty of jimmies rustling this weekend.

Oh jeez,

[transformerchad]

Still cant see Jay winning

Cant even see him in top 3 to say the least

Politics may prove me wrong

[jahaa]

If Jay comes in smaller but ripped i dont see how he can beat a guy like Rhoden even. Kuclo won over Essa because he was in decent condition but had a prettier physique. Same should apply at the olympia.

[SUPER_MANLET]

Must give Dave and Jay credit for all the updates!

this one is a great video..

[yummy22]

lol lets try and judge how they look when they are wearing over sized clothes

You only have a day or so until you can see what they will really look like

[SUPER_MANLET]

some bs

Well, according to the dip****s doing the pre-Olympia livestream, Kai won't make top 6 and Kevin English got the 212 O in the bag so anything is possible!

-.-

[TheMiracle]

OO**** almost there, this is gonna be GOOD! Anyway, is there a live stream of the press conference, if so, could somebody share the link please.

[TheNewestGuy]

Jay actually looked smaller than Kevin English. Could be the clothes, we will see.

Without an advantage in size Jay doesn't have much going for him imo.

People seem unable to understand camera angles, perspective and lens distortion.

Most point-and-shoot cameras are wide angle and prone to distortion at the edges. Couple that with proximity and the angle and it shouldn't be hard to see that it's not reflective of a true comparison.

[oldunclehue]

Anyone aware of where to watch the press conference? I love listening to the squak off!
