nzmm at the Olympia

[nzmusclemonster]

What a weird and wonderful few days it has been in Las Vegas.

I'm currently posting from the Orleans Hotel and about an hour and a half from seeing the big boys go on stage again. The Hotel is an absolute freak show with every second guy you see is 120kg with veins popping out everywhere.

Friday was a long day at the expo first and then the fitness, bikini and mens prejudging.

The way nzmm saw it:

1) Phil Heath (by a mile)

2) Branch Warren

3) Jay Cutler

4) Ronnie Rockell

5) Dexter Jackson

I thinks the actual result will be Jay moving into 2nd and Dexter up to 4th. Jay looked defeated on stage and there is no way he should retain the title.

Most hard done by was Robert Piotrkowicz. He looked great but was completely overlooked.

The what are you doing there award goes to Erik Fankhowser. He looked like a natural bodybuilder among the big boys. And it was very awkward as he was doing his individual posing as you could hear a pin drop and there wasnt one round of applause.

Lots of photos to come. One or two bodybuilding related.... the rest fitness model related \:D/

The internet at the hotel was like $38 a minute, plus I may have been slightly drunk as well.....

Just didn't look good.... waist looked massive and as everyone agreed his body just didn't flow and looked quite ugly. He had some freakish body parts tho.

I was In Vegas meeting a few mates on their way back from Europe and it just so happened the Olympia was on at the same time.
