Melbot Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I hope he come in better shape than last year. It might be hard for him to win though because that would mean they crown him as the single most sucessful mr o in history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo250 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The current Mr. Olympia is always at an advantage. You have to knock him off the top of the hill. By Ronnie stating that this will be his last Olympia, he is playing into the mindset of the judges. They may be more willing to give him the nod for sentimental reasons if the competition is close -- allow the former Mr. Olympia to go out on top.If this is the case, this may backfire. It might open the door to the X-man oriented physique and draw a close to the mass monster era. You know that is where the IFBB wants to go, they have been saying it for a few years.Is Ronnie just playing games or is he serious? I think he really is going to retire (maybe from the sport as a whole) but he's using this to his advantage.Just my gut... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Interesting comments, mate. You could well be right. Can you explain a bit more how you see the X-man physique benefiting from this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_lift Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I agree. I think Ronnie is putting it in the mind of the judges.....similar to Arnold coming back and winning in 1980....when he shouldn't of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairandkelly Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 a bit cunning announcing it before the Olympia , could be very controversial if he wins , i dont think he could handle not winning and if he dosnt win id put money on it hell be back , saying that though i think being knocked off his perch last time round hes hungry r and more determined than ever to wipe the floor clean , and i hope he does, ... number 9 cumin up king ronnie !!heres the olympia posters to look at :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
