Default 06 Olympia prejudging pics

I would say it is Ronnie, then it is a toss up between Victor, and Dexter..

Ronnie is definatly on the downslide though.. I guess he has been having lower back problems, and tricep problems on I think his left arm.

From the back he does not stand out nearly as much as he has in the past... I am sure if he is having low back trouble he is not able to do deadlifts with 800 lbs... it shows...

I could even see Victor, or Dexter winning over him...

Flex say's it's between Jay and Ronnie going into the final but IMHO Jay looks lumpy and unsymetrical. I say Ronnie then Victor.

He stacks up to them pretty damn good to considering they out weigh him by atleast 45lbs...

I would like to see Dexter take an Olympia.

Dexter looks great, but his legs seem a bit small to me especially after seeing how huge his back is now.

Wtf happened to Jay, it looks like you could wring the tanner/bronzer out of him...ugh.

I just went and enlarged all of bbing.com's 06 prejuding pics, here's my (moderately unqualified) take:

Jay looks great, look how lean he is all around. Upper legs, etc. It's not his fault his abs look retarded.

I'm very impressed with both Jay and Ronnie on how they've been managing their guts. Their GH gut looks better than ever. Ronnie's back isn't anything special anymore but it doesn't really look any worse than other years in his best pics in my opinion. It's just that other competitors are catching up.

I think Ruhl looks great, I would love to see him place 6-8. Even crossed fingers for 5th.

I think Dexter is just too small still which will place Jay Culter above him.

Branch Warren probably is gonna do 5 places worse than he should because he isn't NEARLY dark enough. Sucks for him, he could have came close to top 5 if he was dark enough to see the definition I think.

My best guess is:

1. Ronnie Coleman
2. Jay Cutler
3. Dexter Jackson
4. Darrem Charles
5. Gustavo Badell

Only underdog winning here is Darrem Charles. In my opinion he looks great.

I think Ronnie's abs are far worse looking than Jay's.
