Mr. Olympia 2007

[Big Pau]

Is the O gonna be on pay per view? I couldn't find it when i searched on Cox digital cable. Is there some live podcast of it on another site?

 

[pudzian2]

I'm not sure but Bodybuilding.com is doing a live web cam coverage of the olympia

 

[LiftNDestroy]

Saw the prejudging last night on bb and wow are there a few surprises.

 

[Aggravated]

I don't think the Olympia is televised. At all.

 

[AE14]

I read about the surprises, my prediction for the winner might actually come true

 

[edwards]

online right now live

[CDB]

So Coleman might be retiring? Hope he hasn't taken any appreciable time off his life with what he's done to get to his level for so long.

 

[Aggravated]

Did the super heavy class already show?

 

[CDB]

Did the super heavy class already show?

Yup. They're handing out some of the female awards right now. Not sure which ones. Martinez looked sick, from what I can see it's between him and Cutler for the number one spot. Coleman looked weak compared to previous years. Still pretty damn impressive, but he isn't coming close to winning it this year from what I can see.

 

[Aggravated]

They're announcing top 10 at the moment.

 

[Aggravated]

Victor looks F****** AMAZING!

Dennis Wolff is a freakin MONSTER!

 

[Aggravated]

I think Victor is gonna get it man, his lat spread was elite! Better than Jays!

 

[Travis]

Yeah victor did look bigger...

 

[Aggravated]

Jay got it again!

 

[CDB]

Jay got it again!

I think he deserves it overall, but I don't think we're gonna see another 7-8 year run this time. Martinez was in great shape and Wolf was too. And, Dexter was in the top three. There's a lot of talent coming back next year to challenge him, if he's not spot on he's going to get bumped.

Edit: Cutler said he wants to come back and win "at least once more." Maybe he's feeling it already. He's young compared to Coleman, maybe he's not going to stick in it for as long.

 

[kwyckemynd00]

Wolf looked insane. His back was his only weakness.

Cutler deserved it, but if he doesn't watch his ass Victor will eat him next year.

 

[Travis]

Ronnie still impresses me at almost 300lbs. Of course he looked better in the past.

 

[LiftNDestroy]

No surprise that Jay won but dude WOLFF was a BEAST! Hes been one of my favorites lately but wow that guy could do no wrong tonight. Monstrous lat spread, just huge shoulders, SIIICK most muscular. Only downfall are his calves and lower back. Otherwise no real surprise tonight, after seeing Ronnie last night. Only real disappointment over all was Toney Freeman, my absolute favorite and was upset to see his poor condition and shape at this Olympia.

 

[Aggravated]

Yeah hats off to Ronnie and "Dat Dere Cell-Tech"! He did good to beat out Dennis Wolf!

 

[warbird01]

Ronnie still impresses me at almost 300lbs. Of course he looked better in the past.

he wasnt almost 300 lbs. It said 297 but he admitted he wasnt that weight, probably in the 270s

 

[Aggravated]

he wasnt almost 300 lbs. It said 297 but he admitted he wasnt that weight, probably in the 270s

He may have pulled off some water between weigh in time and stage time. Funny thing was they said Jay was 274. I thought jay was always heavier than that on stage. Also Denis wolf appeared way more than 250, which is what I think they had him at.

Jay said next year would be his last year.

 

[kwyckemynd00]

Jay said next year would be his last? Interesting move there.

 

[TripDog]

hats of to dennis wolf!!!!!......my boy came to win!!!!!!.....next year he got it....

 

[CDB]

Jay said next year would be his last? Interesting move there.

He has said in the past that the super massive physique isn't his favorite approach though, right? My guess is he'll trim down quite a bit and, well I'm not sure what he'll do after that. He seems like a decent kid though, I'm sure he can parlay his success in bodybuilding into something to work with elsewhere. Without a freak like Coleman though what happens to the line up of future contests will be interesting. The remaining competitors are a lot closer to each other. No one seems a hands down winner out of the gate.

 

[pudzian2]

Cutler has his hands in real estate. and Im sure he will uphold some publicity for a while, settle down to his 220-230 and ripped desired physique and move on with his life. I was speaking with him in person, and it even says in his book that he hopes to one day start a family...well he's accomplished his goal and is sitll young. I see him still traveling for a while; expo's and other things. I know that after the fact he will talk alot more about his ups and downs with bodybuilding. He will probably disclose some of the truths that not many know about him and\or bodybuilding.

 

[pistonpump]

ronnie looked bad.jay was alright i expected a little better actually. Dont like jay's physique... I hope he doesnt win next year. but i liked dex, victor, wolf, will harris, j jackson. Victor would get my vote and when Dexter is next to him its hard to tell who is better imo. Dex just doesnt have the overall size to win it i guess. Victor>Jay

silvio has nice proportions and great conditioning freakin striations on the erectors. sucks for will harris...he had to be in between jay and ronnie lol could also be in indication of his size to stand with them.If he competes next year he'll be top 10. jonnie jackson's traps are like Whoa!

I like jay alot. But i will agree that him coming in at 274 just made him look worse. Victor looked awesome. I really thought victor was going to win but its hard to dethrone a champ. (even though some believed cutler's win last year was a fluke) It looked like he added all that extra mass to his waistline in an attempt to improve his back..That and he had this layer of water on him...no good. Victor looked alot better. Either way CONGRATS TO JAY!

 

[Australian made]

Top 3 all deserved their places although it could have easily been vic then Jay. Dennis Wolf is only going to get better and better, he's only bout 27 right?..............glad to see Dave Henry crack the top ten, he just came out of knowhere! i like that little guy.

other people should have been there instead of david henry(10th place)..........wolf is 28....thats scary that he looks that good already!! im glad badell,and branch warren didnt place higher.......

 

[strategicmove]

In my opinion, Ronnie is one of the greatest bodybuilders ever. Somewhat disappointing his active career "ended" this way. But that usually happens when one figure dominates a sport for that long. Would have wished him a top-three position for the roads.

I could have swore I saw something that said Phil Heath would not be in the 07' Olympia...?

phil heath droped out awhile back... supposedly according to what i was reading... cutler isnt in shape that he needed and victors looking mean

 

[AE14]

disappointed Jay got it again when from reports he was not in tip top shape. THat trophy is Victor's for the taking

I actually called Vic winning in an earlier post. I was wrong. You have to remember it is hard to dethrone a champ. I think he will get it next year, but if he doesn't, Wolf might lol. I still would like to see Jay win one more, just because of all that he has done for the sport.

Thanks Trip! That's badass!

I thought it was awesome. Everyone else stops while they're on top and Ronnie fought until the very end. When he realized he didn't have it anymore (at age 43!) he let it go. I think that's awesome.

Couldn't agree more. He is the best of the very best.

Great shots. Looking at the pictures and the comparisons between Ronnie and Jay, I thought Ronnie was drier, more vascular, and with better overall definition.

 

[LiftNDestroy]

To be fair, David Henry looks pretty sick, he's just so short he almost always get's over looked. No one looked happier than he did when he realized he was in the top 10!

i swear everytime you see that dude he's got a big ol' koolaid smile......better then dexter,and badell trying to look like toughguys all the time...i wana b*tch slap both of them every time i see them....case in point they're not very marketable...where as henry,cuttler,martinez are!

Don't even get me started with Badell, that guy just needs to quit with his pompous attitude all together! But dude I was stoked when I saw Hengry made the top 10, that guy is allright!

im soooooooooo glad Badell didn't make top 5!!!,and dexter should NOT have placed higher than dennis wolf!!....give up dude your not gonna win.

 

[pistonpump]

if im not mistaken branch and heath didnt show up.

 

[pistonpump]

other people should have been there instead of david henry(10th place)..........wolf is 28....thats scary that he looks that good already!! im glad badell,and branch warren didnt place higher.......

your on crack! henry is just a smaller guy, probably the smallest frame there but dude is sikkkk...put that physique at 240-250 and he would win the O imo or atleast place top 3. THe guy came in probably in the best condition and hardness, and did you see the definition esp in the back?

 

[LiftNDestroy]

if im not mistaken branch and heath didnt show up.

Apparently they both wanted some time off. Phil didn't think he was ready to compete in the O, so he didn't. However he could have beat out alot of those guys, when hes in shape hes on fire! Branch on the other hand would have come with the craziest wheels ever, but probably would have barely made the top 10.

 

[pistonpump]

will harris posed with some old school style. i saw some arnold and sergio poses in there. What happened to Gunter? i dont think he qualified.

 

[ReaperX]

I'm surprised Toney Freeman didn't even place. Looking at the pictures I can see why though.

 

[pistonpump]

i think he expected to place but he should have known he wasnt based on his conditioning. He was off, not sharp at all. Still holding water. Did you watch the webcast?
