gnasher16 29,664 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Phil Heath is todays poster boy so he,ll probably win it.....whether he has the best physique who knows........if Kai Greene doesnt come in over conditioned he could take it,likewise Dennis Wolf has a great chance especially after winning the Arnold Classic in the manner he did..............but they,ll probably play it safe and go with Heath.

Gnash, I think Kai Greenes fruit obssession will keep him off the top spot and the politics that are always involved, Wolf would be my choice if he had calves, but then R.C did well enough without them lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hes arm was bigger than my waist lol Met Dorian in the mid eighties just before he hit the big time,they used to call him "The White Whale" as he struggled to get ripped Was stood having a pee at a show when this enormous dude walked in and stood next to me,Bazil Francis...absolute gent of a guy Christ he was massive....To those who haven't been to a show it does sound very gay ,all oil and fake tan....go to a show and watch,the craic is fantastic ,everyone who enters gets a cheer,all the lads shouting for blokes from their own gym,used to love it...stop at the service station on the motorway a convoy of us en route,the look on peoples faces when 20 odd bodybuilders walked in As for being a bit gay....you want to see the quality of the birds who go....wanting a BIG boyfriend Only downside is some of the woman bodybuilders were bigger than most blokes One was pestering my pal at a show,and frightened the life out of him 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plummerterrier 291 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Dennis wolf is to over sized I think , another jay cutler who I know has won and is respected I just think its heading back to how it used to be and the bigger is better idea is wearing thin, gotta be Heath or Rhoden . Watch the pre show interview Kai showed his true colours really disrespectful. And stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
