With the Mr. Olympia exactly a month away I figured now would be a good time to put my crystal ball (actually it is made out of newspaper) to work and make my predictions.
WHAT I THINK WILL HAPPEN—MY TOP TEN
1st Dexter Jackson
If he plays the size game he will lose, but if he comes in his usual super sharp self he will win.
2ND Phil Heath
Young guys got loads of talent—great arms and super in the calf area—and to be honest I think he beats Dexter in the back department.
But he is a little narrow across the shoulders.
3rd Kai Greene
Came on like a house-of-fire and won the Arnold Classic—has plenty of muscle and can really pose.
I feel good for Kai, he has had to work for it and now he is a very good pro.
4th Dennis Wolf
Just a massive guy, wide shoulders and a small waist.
Weak calf development and we will have to see if he brought up his back.
5th Victor Martinez
Victor has the shape, everything you need to be Mr. Olympia
Question is—can he come in spot on and take advantage of all of his potential?
6th Branch Warren
Tons of muscle—but I don’t know if he can hang with the guys above him.
7th Melvin Anthony
Wonderful shape, great physique, small waist—but can he come in with absolutely stripped glutes?
8th Joel Stubbs
Massive back just absolutely awesome—if only he could bring those legs up.
9th Dennis James
Thick dude, been around, good to see him back on the Olympia stage.
10th Ronny Rockel
Nice physique needs to come in right on the money.
O.K.
That is what I think will happen; now here is what I HOPE will happen.
1st Dennis Wolf or Toney Freeman
Both of these guys epitomize what I think bodybuilding is all about; they are tall have broad shoulders and small waists.
As far as the rest—well I like Dennis James so I hope he places high and Troy Alves has a great physique so I hope he is up there as well.
O.K.
As long as I am on my soap box I will say this—please put Ronny Rockel closer to the top—great physique.
I welcome your comments and opinions
Until Next Time
STAY SMART.
