Train for Eating NOPE! even with 1 biceps he overshadowed Nasser and everyone, UNIQUE CONDITION! thats Dorian... Dorian just destroyed his arms so he could get the best back in history.
100% agree this was Victor's show and Dexter wasn't far behind. Happy Dexter got the nod he earned the following year. Sadly Victor didn't get the win he deserved in 07!!
Jake Martinez I know. Wtf. Dexter is great yes but Victor won soooooo obviously I don’t get how the Ifbb could give it to jay even for politics. If there shady at least go well guys if we give it to jay it’s going to be is ridiculous people will riot lol. It’s fucked. Jay actually looked awful. When talking about his leg size to Dennis. Wolfs legs were more shredded by a mile and so obviously bigger. Wtf. Look at the pic where the video ends and he raises his arm with an awkward face. His legs look so downsized. I have no interest in the me Olympia anymore and Havnt got time. Politics. Something needs to change or hoping the rocks new show or whatever the rumour is. I could rent all night. I competed as a full time athlete at the highest level in my sport of grappling. I’ve been given a decision I know I lost and went to guy after and his team and said sorry guys that was bullshit. Its happened to me where guys came to me to apologize after to show some class. Where’s jays class. He knows of course. Egomaniac.
Always fun to re-watch your old stuff :) Damn, this was Jay Butter instead of Cutler :D But credit has to be given where it is due: his back double bicep (at least from the waist above) murders the others. It looks like as if he would have had 20 pounds of additional muscle just on his back compared to the rest - even Ronnie. Crazy density. His glutes and hams were soft as a baby's though. Also, Dex really peaked between 07-09 and he was screwed of a silver medal at least in 2 occasions (here and in 09). He was SHARP and ready to take advantage of any situation, any of the big guys coming in 90% or below. He couldn't defeat politics though...
Geez, Ronnies left side really melted away from damage didn't it. Wonder why he even attempted to compete. Same with Dorian as well though when he competed injerd they don't know when to quit.
@@usmilitary280 I agree, I always hated Ronnie's midsection.Just thought it looked weird n blown out. Thought he looked better the first year or 2 he won. After he just looked big but not overall better than everyone he was beating. Rigged ass shows.
@@fender1000100 Every pro has atleast one weak body part or weakness. Except maybe Phil but he was and is narrow. Dorian had bad arms. Cutler didn't have a good back.
imo this year should have ONLY been between Dex and Victor. Dex has been screwed over so many times even tho he's been the tightest most symmetrical builder on the circuit
Victors biceps pop out way further than his shoulders. Unacceptable proportions. Also they didnt work out their calves, Jay did. Personally I don't get why everyone is saying Dex, victor were better.
Its because dexter shorter so he appears smaller then all them...its bullshit...hes always the best conditioned....but victor looks so big and conditioned he def deserves the w in this one
Cutler has also been robbed earlier, the key is to keep challenging the champion again and again. Victor Martinez should have brought this kind of physique more times in Olympia. It takes time to dethrone a reigning champ. And almost all multiple Olympia owners have won once or twice, that they did not deserve to win.....be it Arnold, Ronnie, Jay .....
Except thats not how it should work and the rules dont state that. The competition is there to crown the best physique that year, not getting the title because of favoritism even though you looked clearly better goes against ifbb rules. I can agree with a system that if everything else is tied, you favor the champ but that was not happening here AT ALL. Victor was the clearly better bodybuilder and deserved the title
@@Mmmm-lx9vb There have been many such instances where the best physique that people (like us) thought, did not win. And it won't be the last. Every Olympian who have been competing for long knows that.
I like your comparison of Wolf and Jay this year. I wonder where Jay would have placed if it was his rookie debut and nobody knew who he was really. sometimes the winner shouldn't even have been second or third, like Dorian.
From the back, Dexter disappears! Victors back looks great. Victor had enough to win but it was mass mania in those days! Victor was his best! He was the Shawn Rhoden with a back and arms in this show!
Holy shit. I didn't realize how well conditioned the blade Dex came in during this show. This was definitely Dex vs Martinez. I'm sorry about Jay, lotta love for the guy. He's a champ but he had no place up on that stage. At least not in the top 3. I'd given him 4th.
I must say that I totally agree with your assessment, you were right on the money. Victor completely owned Jay, he was more conditioned, dryer, bigger and had better symmetry along with fuller muscle bellies on his back and arms. I really like Jay for everything he brought to the scene every year but I must admit 2007 belonged to Victor Martinez!
The most controversial placing in 2007 in my opinion was Wolf in 5th place he should have been in the top 3 and I would have had Wolf in 2nd place in 2007. This is how I saw it based on modern day standards no biased decisions. 1st Victor Martinez 2nd Denis Wolf 3rd Dexter Jackson 4th Jay Cutler 5th Melvin Anthony 6th Ronnie coleman
I remember being new to bodybuilding around this time and being warned about how much politics were involved in the sport. And watching this Mr.Olympia, it was so apparent, even to a newbie. I immediately knew that it would not be worth cheering for your favourite bodybuilder, Because he wasn't going to win, even if he deserved to. This is why I believe the sport is so predictable. Even the sports insiders will not call out the IFBB for fear of being blacklisted.
Doesn't apply to modern bodybuilding. The political decisions at the olympia haven't been a real thing for 3+ years now in any competitions, and they only happened once at the olympia in the 2010's, in 2014. 2017 was kinda controversial too, but Ramy lacked separation that year.
@@gabbeskillz6262 Arguable, the poses went 4-4 and Kai didn't have a horrible midsection unlike Phil that year. The fans got so mad at Phil in 2014 and *especially* in 2017 that the judging criteria started shifting to penalizing the guts, and now we're experiencing an open class with barely anyone that has a "bubble gut", something the 2010's were full of. The past winner has a small waist (for a 300lbs guy it's even tiny) and well defined abs, the one before that a small waist and decently defined abs, and the one before that had a tiny waist and amazing abs + obliques.
@@gabbeskillz6262 2-6? How in the world is Phil even remotely close to Kai in the ab n thigh with worse abs AND thighs along with less mass and a worse V-taper? Also, how is Phil beating Kai in the rear double bicep with a smaller and narrower back, much worse legs and worse arms -especially the biceps in a back double bicep? Both of those poses are borderline knockout punches, not that close. This contest went 4-4, all poses being clear and decisive. Phil won as the guts were not penalized at the time like they are now, it wasn't as bad of a decision as 2007 or 1997 but not far off.
Totally agree, Jay didn't look mr.O worthy at all, neither in 06 nor in 07, in 2008 the judges had no other choice than to crown Dex, couse Jay looked like 20 weeks out at that show. Luckily after that we got prime Jay. but those 3 years were horrid.
Yeah I remember hating the 06 Olympia with a passion because the original TH-cam video had this garish red lighting that made them all look like juicy rotisserie chickens, especially Jay. But going back and watching clips with better lighting I think he deserved it. Was better than Coleman for sure and was just soooo much bigger than Dex or Vic, and not as off as in 07 or 08.
Yeah, 06 and 07 was the "dark times" Olympia. At least in 06 they had some minimal effort put into lighting, but 2007 was a joke. Originally I also hated the decision that they "robbed" Ronnie of his 9th title, but looking back he was asimetric, and just visible beaten up as far as his body goes. But he was still in better condition than Jay :D
@@porcupinecraig good point. I already thought about it. It is similar to what happens with the Oscars. American and English actors are above aaaany other country in the world even disregarding language.
The idea that glutes have to be shredded is asinine. That’s a modern invention of bodybuilding that only goes to show how close these guys are to death on stage. Training used to be about “health and fitness.” I’m sorry those days have disappeared.
Jay is big.but the dudes body just doesn't look good.even when he is spot on with conditioning.hes like a a square.when he does a abs pose with arms behind his head.its like a refrigerator .straight down.sorry big yes. Mr Olympia na.not one of the best Mr Olympia winner body at all.
Jay was amazing and had one of the best bodies ever 2001- 2003 not just at the o but in many others like the arnold and iron man. those were some of his best physiques ever, when he really chased the size, it showed, but imo i think he still looked great
But 2005 and even 2001 is debatable, he could have won at least one of those. Not to mention the "interesting" versus round of 2004 when Jay had a point of advantage until the last matchup against Ronnie, like if it was a movie. And previously Ronnie won the "abs and thighs" against guys like Dexter...it's a joke :D
I had a hard time deciding between Dex and Victor. I rly want to give it to dexter. I think they won the same number of poses. Dexter had better conditioning but Victor was bigger. We didn't get to see the front lat spread, but I imagine Victor was better. So I will give him the win.
Honestly, after watching this video I am more convinced that it wasn't as much of a robbery as I had first assumed. Sure, Jay wasn't numero uno by a long shot, but he wasn't near as behind I had imagined. I would have given Victor or dexter first, victor or dexter second, and jay third.
Well if a guy wins the olympia when he deserved 3rd at best I think that's robbery to the max lol. And let's be honest here there wasn't much competition in the olympia at this time, just washed up Ronnie, no Kai or Phil and Dennis was just starting at the time
I 100% its all politics here. I mean you gotta be blind to give it to Jay. Victor so deserved that win. He is the hardest working guy I ever met. Never gives up and always finds a way.
Very simple: With Ronnie on the stage, the name of the game was mass. And Jay was bigger than all of them. So, if you look at it trough that lens, Jay won fairly. Now, if they'd be looking at aesthetics, Dex should have got it in my point of view. He was far more aesthetic than any other on that stage.
xxBlade. Do you know how to read properly? If yes, please have a look at the entire paragraph not just that sentence. If you are unable to grasp to concept of “an opinion”, then just please let us know so that we can properly ignore you. If anyone is a troll around here, you just proved the very essence of the concept. ;)
I liked Dex the most here, the only shots he was giving up completely to the other competitors where the ones where he wasn't even hitting the pose properly, either because of misstimed shots or because he was jostling for position. I'm really digging victor as well here, wasn't as sharp as the Blade but definately a lot sharper than Jay and with size to match on most shots. Honestly, it should have been between Dexter and Victor, either would have been fine for me, Jay got the pitty win, his mass was great but he was incredibly soft just like you mentioned. Lower body was very solid but it comes to the upper body I even think King Coleman had him beat in just about every shot where they weren't showcasing arms and lats. Ronnie may have been a mess symetry-wise but even then he looks considerably harder than Jay, he completely smoked Jay in the most moscular though Dexter pretty much smoked them all.
For years I've heard how Victor should've won this. He was in the best shape ever, but it still! wasn't enough to beat Dexter!! Yeah, a robbery did happen, but it happened to The Blade's legacy. Dexter Jacskon was the clear winner of this Olympia.
Jay had some asymmetry issues too in this show. Which was part of what made 2009 so amazing. And his A.R.T. massage therapy to treat it has been pretty well documented.
That one I never watched until briefly just the other day. So I'd have to check it out more but first impression would be no. I think Mike Mentzer and probably Boyer and Frank Zane all looked better from the limited footage I saw.
This is a classic case of you have to (clearly) beat the prior champion, which was jay in 2006. If there is any question, judges play it safe and give it to the reigning champ. Jays quads and calves were much better than the others. Lastly, you also have the new school block shape vs the more classic small waist. Mostly agree with you but it wasnt a screwjob. They also need to start penalizing the excessive block/turtle shell mid sections.
I honestly think this is more appalling than 97. While Dorian did look half melted. His conditioning was still brilliant and there were poses he looked amazing in. Jay just looks off here. He looks like 60%. It’s not a matter of being injured he just didn’t bring it.
D Leigh 100% agree with that order. Ronnie sadly should have sat out and let BB comp go and Jay presented a poor package making his flaws stand out unlike his 09 & 2010. Where Jays conditioning hide any genetic flaw extremely well.
screwjobs I can think of: 1. 1981 Franco (Platz was the clear winner) 2. 1997 Dorian (several guys were better) 3. 2007 Olympia (Jay was gifted hard, so was Ronnie) 4. 2014 Olympia (Kai clearly won, Phil walks away with a perfect score) 5. 1994 Olympia (should have been either Shawn or Kevin) controversial wins but I can live with 1. 1982 Chris 2. 1996 Dorian 3. 1990 Lee 4. 2001 Jay 5. 1972 Arnold In 1980, Arnold was smaller but leaner and drier than ever, he definitely didn't bring his best but it was enough to beat everyone hands down.
Yeah, 1981 was between Padilla and Platz, I favor Platz because he had some impressive legs and his upper body wasn't bad either. As for Arnold, in 1980 he competed at around 220, about 15 lb lower than usual, but he was drier and leaner than ever due to new supplements.
The real reason he got robbed was the IFBB knew that he was guilty of selling steroids.. he went to prison the following day /week. They can not have a Mr.Olympia who is convicted and guilty of selling steroids. It would look bad for business.
Ronnies abs just don’t do it for me. Can someone please tell me what’s wrong with them and if it’s a disorder or if it happens from different types of abdominal exercises or have his abs always been like that since birth.
Got to agree I think its ridiculous how small of a stage they give them, that when they hit the poses they are literally pumping into each other every time, literally fighting to get a pose off. The damn Superbowl of bodybuilding, and they cant give them not even an extra inch of space....?
Jay is a legend. However, in this show he shouldn't be on top 5 maybe. He was horrible. His waste was so bad. He was so soft. He wasn't pleasing to look at at all. I'm sure he was shocked when he won!
this one was close. Martinez was very good, the best shape of his life but back in then was mass monsters race, they pushed Jay to that race and didn't let him down after years of 2 places. hard choice. im a Jay fan but cant deny that Victor was very good... just he was small.. meh, its MR.O
Thankyou for the reply.Tom Platz was also known for his intense workouts but that included alot of really bad forced repetitions and movements that really looked useless.Arnold was known to train for many hours while Dorians Workouts were usually less than a hour long and he went all out.
I have never seen big deal with Jay. He should have won 2006 only imo. Jay's waist is too wide and not aesthetic too me. Plenty of mass... well he probably should have won 2001...
Personally I think Jay deserved the win due to overall best proportions. His lats clearly dwarfed the other two. He won with shoulders, calves. He has more categories won than the rest. Victors shoulders were way too small relative to his biceps. unacceptable. Dexters calves, shoulders, lats too small. The only area jay clearly lost was abs
I actually think Jay looked better than the other 3 in all the pics you showed. It’s weird how subjective all this is, so imagine trying to judge on the fly. I mean if we see things that different looking at still photos, how hard must it be in person.
Dexter never had the size to back it up, in my opinion victor won this show if i look at the pics you showed me but with the back double bicep jay won in my opinion he is just soomuch bigger (even though he lost out of all 3 with back lat spread)
For me. biggest robbery was 97 Mr.Olympia
Nasser Vs Dorian without bicep.
Oh yeah another horrible call I'll be revisiting that one too ;)
Tomn8er Yep. That was the most
horrible... History
Imo levrone should've taken the sandow that year. He looked WAY better than Dorian no bicep.
Train for Eating NOPE! even with 1 biceps he overshadowed Nasser and everyone, UNIQUE CONDITION! thats Dorian... Dorian just destroyed his arms so he could get the best back in history.
worst one by far is franco 81 with gyno and no legs imho. But certainly 97 as well. Shameful display.
Jay won because he didnt lack hair.

I had a hard time deciding between Dex and Victor. I rly want to give it to dexter. I think they won the same number of poses. Dexter had better conditioning but Victor was bigger. We didn't get to see the front lat spread, but I imagine Victor was better. So I will give him the win.
Jay lost every pose, but he won the Mr. Olympia. LOL!!!
Like the videos bro, keep em up. very entertaining
This means a lot to me coming from you Mr President! :P
They should've gave ronnie's right side the sandow. It was on point
Robbery did occur
yeah there's been a lot of controversial outcomes in the history of the Olympia but this one's not even debatable
Honestly, after watching this video I am more convinced that it wasn't as much of a robbery as I had first assumed. Sure, Jay wasn't numero uno by a long shot, but he wasn't near as behind I had imagined. I would have given Victor or dexter first, victor or dexter second, and jay third.
Well if a guy wins the olympia when he deserved 3rd at best I think that's robbery to the max lol. And let's be honest here there wasn't much competition in the olympia at this time, just washed up Ronnie, no Kai or Phil and Dennis was just starting at the time
Maybe Jay getting the 07 win was judges telling bodybuilders to work on their calves.
14:40. Look at that: Victor has calves.
Jay Culter came with soft ass glutes and won Mr Olympia 😂
I remember Jay had some definite asymmetry going on for this show as well. In the legs, tris, and maybe the lats.
Do the 82 Olympia, no way was Dickerson better than Padilla and Platz.
You're mixing 81 and 82 I think
I 100% its all politics here. I mean you gotta be blind to give it to Jay. Victor so deserved that win. He is the hardest working guy I ever met. Never gives up and always finds a way.
Very simple: With Ronnie on the stage, the name of the game was mass. And Jay was bigger than all of them. So, if you look at it trough that lens, Jay won fairly.
Now, if they'd be looking at aesthetics, Dex should have got it in my point of view. He was far more aesthetic than any other on that stage.
''Jay won fairly''
Lol troll
xxBlade. Do you know how to read properly? If yes, please have a look at the entire paragraph not just that sentence.
If you are unable to grasp to concept of “an opinion”, then just please let us know so that we can properly ignore you. If anyone is a troll around here, you just proved the very essence of the concept. ;)
No argument Victor wins this show. Ronnie was already suffering with his injury here.
i’ve met jay and vic a few times during my tenure on the amateur circuit. super nice guys. politics plays a role in this business without a doubt.
Ronnie looked melted
I liked Dex the most here, the only shots he was giving up completely to the other competitors where the ones where he wasn't even hitting the pose properly, either because of misstimed shots or because he was jostling for position. I'm really digging victor as well here, wasn't as sharp as the Blade but definately a lot sharper than Jay and with size to match on most shots. Honestly, it should have been between Dexter and Victor, either would have been fine for me, Jay got the pitty win, his mass was great but he was incredibly soft just like you mentioned. Lower body was very solid but it comes to the upper body I even think King Coleman had him beat in just about every shot where they weren't showcasing arms and lats. Ronnie may have been a mess symetry-wise but even then he looks considerably harder than Jay, he completely smoked Jay in the most moscular though Dexter pretty much smoked them all.
For years I've heard how Victor should've won this. He was in the best shape ever, but it still! wasn't enough to beat Dexter!! Yeah, a robbery did happen, but it happened to The Blade's legacy. Dexter Jacskon was the clear winner of this Olympia.
Jay beat Victor with hair gains in EVERY pose
Jay had some asymmetry issues too in this show. Which was part of what made 2009 so amazing. And his A.R.T. massage therapy to treat it has been pretty well documented.
Victor 1st, Dexter 2nd, and Jay or Ronnie was not in the top 5. Just highway robbery.
The contest, the show, is a beauty pageant. Jay just looks better overall, with hair, etc. he is a better ambassador for the sport. That’s why.
Lol that intro needs to be brought back 😂👌🏼
Dennis wolf should of been in the top 3 Dennis Victor-and Dexter
Only pose id give to jay. Is side tricep. As for ronnie id give him most muscular other than that victor and dex should have been 1 and 2.
Ronnie was like dorian yates...a shell of himself...only difference was the judges gave dorian a going away gift
31:45 Thats not "softnes" in Jays left arm, thats half a liter of synthol in his by&pec
Wolf looks better than Cutler! Lol
What do you think about the 1980 olympia? Should Arnold have won?
That one I never watched until briefly just the other day. So I'd have to check it out more but first impression would be no. I think Mike Mentzer and probably Boyer and Frank Zane all looked better from the limited footage I saw.
Beast Man Arnold was at his worst but his mass and shape was enough to beat that line up!
This is a classic case of you have to (clearly) beat the prior champion, which was jay in 2006. If there is any question, judges play it safe and give it to the reigning champ. Jays quads and calves were much better than the others. Lastly, you also have the new school block shape vs the more classic small waist. Mostly agree with you but it wasnt a screwjob. They also need to start penalizing the excessive block/turtle shell mid sections.
I honestly think this is more appalling than 97. While Dorian did look half melted. His conditioning was still brilliant and there were poses he looked amazing in. Jay just looks off here. He looks like 60%. It’s not a matter of being injured he just didn’t bring it.
I love how pissed you are about IFBB and judging. Nice video
Dexter has the strangest looking midsection of any Mr. Olympia. It’s almost cartoonish
The opening seconds of this video actually startled me.
Ronnies tan makes it look like he is wearing gloves
In the rear lat spread Jay looks like he has a hunch back. Terrible shape that destroys his symmetry.
In my opinion Victor wins the front double biceps hands down here. He is very close to the best Flex Wheeler. Great flow, simmetry and proportions
victor
dex
jay
ron
Nah Just Victor and Dexter. Jay and Ron didn't deserve to place that high.
victor
dex
Wolf
Cutler
Coleman
Victor
Dexter
Wolf
D Leigh 100% agree with that order. Ronnie sadly should have sat out and let BB comp go
and Jay presented a poor package making his flaws stand out unlike his 09 & 2010. Where Jays conditioning hide any genetic flaw extremely well.
U forget to see tht bodybuilding is not all about conditioning, its about show and cutler looked all around roundest and biggest while posing great
screwjobs I can think of:
1. 1981 Franco (Platz was the clear winner)
2. 1997 Dorian (several guys were better)
3. 2007 Olympia (Jay was gifted hard, so was Ronnie)
4. 2014 Olympia (Kai clearly won, Phil walks away with a perfect score)
5. 1994 Olympia (should have been either Shawn or Kevin)
controversial wins but I can live with
1. 1982 Chris
2. 1996 Dorian
3. 1990 Lee
4. 2001 Jay
5. 1972 Arnold
In 1980, Arnold was smaller but leaner and drier than ever, he definitely didn't bring his best but it was enough to beat everyone hands down.
PrinceArthas100 1981 danny padilla
PrinceArthas100 73 was his driest year
Yeah, 1981 was between Padilla and Platz, I favor Platz because he had some impressive legs and his upper body wasn't bad either. As for Arnold, in 1980 he competed at around 220, about 15 lb lower than usual, but he was drier and leaner than ever due to new supplements.
PrinceArthas100 Pretty damn good!
The real reason he got robbed was the IFBB knew that he was guilty of selling steroids.. he went to prison the following day /week. They can not have a Mr.Olympia who is convicted and guilty of selling steroids. It would look bad for business.
Come on people everybody knows this is USA, where nobody beats the US people
The rear lat spread goes to Victor, but Dexter looked really good in that pose too.
Ronnies abs just don’t do it for me. Can someone please tell me what’s wrong with them and if it’s a disorder or if it happens from different types of abdominal exercises or have his abs always been like that since birth.
I think I watched this video 10-13 times
I've got to say that I like Dexter's side chest the best! He almost looks classic with that twist in his torso. Opinions?
Got to agree I think its ridiculous how small of a stage they give them, that when they hit the poses they are literally pumping into each other every time, literally fighting to get a pose off. The damn Superbowl of bodybuilding, and they cant give them not even an extra inch of space....?
jays waist at 33:30 does not look Olympia caliber
Jay is a legend. However, in this show he shouldn't be on top 5 maybe. He was horrible. His waste was so bad. He was so soft. He wasn't pleasing to look at at all. I'm sure he was shocked when he won!
* Waist 😷
Abbas Ahmed failed prep in 2008 too but in 2009 he was just unbelievable
this one was close.
Martinez was very good, the best shape of his life
but back in then was mass monsters race, they pushed Jay to that race and didn't let him down after years of 2 places.
hard choice. im a Jay fan but cant deny that Victor was very good... just he was small..
meh, its MR.O
I think your nit picking bad points from jay but such a hard choice, not robbed but to close to call
"This old dude in the background" was Ben Weider
They call dexter “the blade” because he looks like Wesley Snipes from the movie blade it’s actually nothing to do with his conditioning
Tomn8er Who would you say trained harder.
Dorian Yates with his HIT style training or Arnold who was known for alot of volume?
Hey good question! Arnold trained really hard but I don't think anybody had as much intensity as Dorian.
Thankyou for the reply.Tom Platz was also known for his intense workouts but that included alot of really bad forced repetitions and movements that really looked useless.Arnold was known to train for many hours while Dorians Workouts were usually less than a hour long and he went all out.
Martinez looks like a buff Vin Diesel.
Ronnie's front double bicep was better than Dorian's front double bicep and Yates won
Jay shouldn't've win 2007 and 2010
I have never seen big deal with Jay. He should have won 2006 only imo. Jay's waist is too wide and not aesthetic too me. Plenty of mass... well he probably should have won 2001...
2009. He destroyed everybody that was his year.
Personally I think Jay deserved the win due to overall best proportions. His lats clearly dwarfed the other two. He won with shoulders, calves. He has more categories won than the rest. Victors shoulders were way too small relative to his biceps. unacceptable. Dexters calves, shoulders, lats too small. The only area jay clearly lost was abs
I actually think Jay looked better than the other 3 in all the pics you showed. It’s weird how subjective all this is, so imagine trying to judge on the fly. I mean if we see things that different looking at still photos, how hard must it be in person.
Tomn8er said you might be able to come in back in the 80s and 90s with soft ass glutes like thez looooooooooooool
Dexter never had the size to back it up, in my opinion victor won this show if i look at the pics you showed me but with the back double bicep jay won in my opinion he is just soomuch bigger (even though he lost out of all 3 with back lat spread)
Third one’s the charm! Vic’s sidechest reminds me so much of Ronnies! Insane
