Mr Olympia 2008!!!

Branch warren is never going to be an olympia threat

because hes not going to be there ....

what i meant was that he is never going to win the olympia even if he is there. Just like you are never going to get rid of that rash you inherited off your last nz dating score luigi.

[Grant & Ses]

Just to correct you, Phil Heath is 28 years old and Dennis 29.

1.Jay (political)

2.Dennis

3.dexter

4.Phil

The rest is up for grabs. Would not rule out the 3rd place holder at iron man Moe El Moussawi. His condition 5wks out is insane.

Grant.

[Gym rat]

1: Jay

2: Dennis

3: Dexter

The guys in the Melbourne show and at the Auckland seminar spoke publicly and privately of Jay with the utmost respect as an athlete and professional, there was no political inclinations about the result but a general belief that the big show is about the BIG boys....hence I have Dennis 2nd.

True Grant and Ses,I would even put Moe in the top 6...theres just so many spots open and talent coming from new and rising stars.

To tell you the truth...I would put Dennis as high up as 2nd as well.He truly is awesome and brings not just the mass,but that classical physique to the table as well.

One things for sure...its definately gonna be interesting,one hell of a showdown...and one hell of a posedown.

[Gym rat]

This years Mr Olympia will be a very exciting and insterting one.I would also have to put Moe in the top six as well with lots of new talent and stars coming up.That's for sure it is going be one hell of a very exciting posedown.

Howz it going Tonka...as far as I know Kai is also out of the Olympia this year.I heard on Pro Bodybuilding Weekly that he wouldnt be competing at the Mr O this year...

Bummer, I saw some photos of him at one of the shows he won earlier in the year and he looked awesome. Oh well, we'll have to wait another year for the "predator" to mix it up with the big boys.

My money is still with Cutler - long reign the "BIG BOYS"!!!

[Gym rat]

While we are the subject of the 2008 Mr Olympia there are a couple great Jay Vs Dexter videos on Flexonline which are worth having a look.I have watched them.I thought it was good way to build up to the Olympia.

[garth]

Hey guys

Heres a link to the 2008 Mr O main page on bodybuilding.com where they broadcast the full show annually.Bout 2 weeks to go and the competition is heating up.Be sure to check out the pre-show coverage on the same link.

[Fan]

I would agree with

1 - Cutler

2 - Wolf

3 - Dexter

Moe would probably finish just outside the top 15 if not just make it outside the top 10.

[garth]

Well its nearly showtime and the competition is heating up.

B sure to check out the link I provided in this forum to bodybuilding.coms live webcast of the Mr O.It will be live our time...Pre Judging on Saturday at 2pm and Finals Sunday at 2pm.

My mate and his partner managed to get Silver VIP tickets (NZD $1200 each) to the Olympia weekend and will be sitting only a couple rows from the stage (right in the middle), gets to go to the press conference, free tickets to the Expo as well as after comp parties and a other freebies that I cant remember him telling me.

Just got a text from my mate as he stands in line to get photos and autographs off Dennis Wolf...he reckons hes absolutely huge! Earlier in avo, he stood in que (that seemed to go on for ever) to get photos with Mr Cutler and he is reckons hes a site to behold.

He's living his dream seeing these guys in the flesh and to be in Vegas at the big show is a once in a lifetime experience....lucky couple!!! :clap:

[Gym rat]

That is good time for us NZ viewers to have the pre judging and the finals for the Olympia.Tonka I am very jelious of your mate being at the Olympia.

[mr natural]

ahhh one day in the next couple of years i wanna do that too, holiday and oympia weekend! how good could life get

[Optimass]

.... Jay looks worried if you ask me ...

[Gym rat]

I notice that as well when I had a look at the photos of Olympia press confrence of Flex online.

[mr natural]

ha, dennis does not have a hope in hell if jay comes in hard and dry. as long he does not slip up like last year he should hold it for a few more years yet.

[Optimass]

FLEX Online ... about Moe ..

THE SHORT OF IT: The early surprise of the season, Elmoussaoui announced his presence as a name to watch by placing fourth when the season kicked at the 2008 Ironman. He slipped a little at the Arnold, but if the New Zealand native can match his conditioning from the Ironman he could sneak up on some people and shake things up in the top 10.

Native ... I wonder if moe will be doing the haka before the pre-judge?

[NZGymDude]

Well what can i say, the big event is nearly here and it is a shame that Victor isn't there and also the late withdrawl of Branch Warren due to his tricep injury, but man the quality is there and from what i've seen and heard it is going to be a massive battle to sort out the top 5. All the hype is for the Wolfman with everyone saying that his conditioning is spot on and has brought up his areas that where lacking last year, and now the champ Jay Cutler has come out and said that hes going to come in the best shape hes ever bean and from what i've seen hes slimmed his waist down and does look very good. If Jay comes in conditioned like he said hes going to he just wins, and the likes of Dex, Wolf, Heath, Silvio, Gustavo, Melvin, Freeman will be fighting for the minors, and I must say good luck to Moe representing NZ and wouldn't it be great to see him in or near the top 10. So I say bring it on and make the best body win!!
