....Ronnie and Jay? So tired of looking at their ugly fat bodies, plus they make the Mr. O a snooze fest. I hope Branch Warren does some magic and pulls it off. Time for the jugdes to start opening their eyes and relize this is a bodybuilding contest.

Is it just me...or do Ronnie's calves always look just "eh" compared to the rest of his physique. He still has the most quality muscular development of anyone in the world, that is why he has dominated this sport for the past 8 years. Guys have out-shredded him, out-symmetried him, and in some form been bigger than him (Ruhl for example), but no one has been able to combine them all like he has, no even Cutler, and I'm a Cutler fan.
Statistics:
6'4"
202 lbs.
12-14% BF
8 Years in the trenches....another 60 to go
Goal:
220-225lbs
8% BF

It's like a football team saying they have a rivalry with a team that has handed them their asses 8 years in a row. That is not a rivalry.

Distorted stomach
I admit that my knowledge on bodybuilding is very limited and I have never attended a bb competition.
But you people with more expertise than me tell me why in some pictures (sideshots) Ronnie has a gut like a pregnant female?
He might not be the only one but I have never seen anything like that from e.g. Arnold, Lee Haney, Sergio, etc
This can hardly be the best body in the universe, can it?The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits!

A bodybuilder shouldn't look fat while he's wearing normal clothes...

Go 'BOOM', like you're saying, "Take a look at this hunk a man."
"That's the ultimate power -- your vocabulary. How you communicate. Study vocabulary. The more words you have, the better you can communicate, and the quicker you can put someone away."
Real men are not available. They are climbing mountains. They are swimming across rivers. What are YOU doing? Browsing a goddamn forum?!?!?!?!!

Hgh is what has allowed bodybuilders to get to insane weights, and sub 4% bf levels. The gut, along with new bone mass (can make peoples faces look different, along with increased size in hands knees and elbows) is the trade off for an other wize side effect free substance. Considering that it allows, it's not uncommon for pro's to take it year round with out break and is what really has led to these huge wlines.
How ever some bodybuilders for example dexter jackson, don't have the extended gut (im not saying he doesnt take hgh but it doesn't appear so) and to many people have a better "look". However todays bodybuilding is more based on actual muscle tissue then it is how good some one looks. Although this seems upsetting that we will never see another frank zane winning the oylmpia, it was nessecary as many amature bodybuilders today are the size of yesteryears top champs. For example other then upper arm and chest messurement you wouldn't be very hard pressed to find an amature with simlar (or maybe even better) messurments then arnold and the like.

Thanks Calfmaster !
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder but to me Ronnie looks more like a failed experiment by a mad scientist than a bodybuilder.
Again, this is my personal view and I'd rather see people like Zane and the others that I mentioned before.
Somehow I am sure that a lot of people rather identify or cheer for more "natural" physiques rather than the freaks, or am I wrong?
Reps your way !The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits!

hold on while I brace myself for the flaming I will get for my comments......
OK, do I think Ronnie is an impressive bodybuilder, yes. Is he the best bodybuilder on the planet, according to the IFBB, Yes. Do I personally think so...NO. My reason is as follows, bodybuilding is ment to create a pleasing physique worth admiring. Having outstanding symetry (sp), muscle mass, vascularity, and definition. Look at the dwindleing crowd at the MR. O. Bodybuilding isn't even televised anymore. Most people on the street think of bodybuilding as a freak show because of a TLC special on Valentino.
At one time, bodybuilders were admired for their condioning. They were the ultimate fitness example. Now, deformed freaks that are dehydrated and carb depleted to a dangerous level. To the average person, bodybuilding is viewed as unhealthy because of a handful of Pros.
I felt that guys like Franco, Arnold, Wahler, had health physiques. Bob Paris was an absolute statue. Even guys like Flex and Shawn. The bloated, size is everything mentality is got to go. Guys that inject synthenol are losers. They look ridculious, and let's call them exactly what they are, CHEATERS. And I do not blame the athletes, it the damn judges that have caused the downfall of the Olympia. Hope the new pro division cleans it up. Sorry about the ranting.NASM-MMACS
