( Mayhem has all the good info right now about the O, .. just trying to get it to you all too - This is from Chad himself, so I know it's legit )

Posted by Chad Nichols at Mayhem:

Just wanting to give you all some updates on how my guys are doing and everything I have seen and heard in Vegas so far...

Ronnie: Is on target to be the best he has ever been - with just sick muscle, separation and paper thin skin - his muscularity just has that crazy full look that sets him apart from everyone else. This will be the year that everyone stops yammering about his Arnold conditioning and thinks of this Olympia from now on!!!!

Gunter: Already (tonight) 5% better than 2002! He has made some great improvements - his arms are better - lats are thicker from both front and back, bone dry and ready to battle - all I have to say is Jay had better be ready as Gunter is more than ready for him.

Melvin: This will be the best Melvin to ever step on stage - period! Every show his glutes improve and get tighter and right now they are better than they have ever been on stage. The front of his legs are so deeply separated - it's unbelievable and side chest shot resembles Flex Wheeler - circa 1998. Melvin is really going to open some eyes and surprise people tomorrow!

Now for the rest of the line up -

You can tell Jay is in shape - just by seeing him at the press conference and with a game face on he is ready to battle. I've spoken with a few people and you get a different story each time - everyone says he's in good shape - yet no one will commit to saying he is better than 2001, but they will say he is looking better than last year. I felt the whole time by taking off an entire year - this would be the best Jay we have seen in a long time.

The person I was most impressed with at the press conference was Alexander Fedorov - not physique wise- as he was covered up and I don't know how he looks - but as a person, he was very polite, genuine and truly grateful just to be in the Olympia lineup. Said that he would be back on this stage 10 years from now and be much better and also apologized for his english and vowed that it would be much better next year - just a pleasant person and I think won over a lot of fans in a sport where big egos run rampant. Physique wise I could tell he was a monster, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what kind of conditioning he brings to the stage.

Markus Ruhl looks a little more trim in his clothing than usual - so I have a feeling he will be in phenomenal shape.

Gustavo posed at the press conference - not impressed, but a lot can change in two days - let's hope so for his sake, but it's safe bet he won't be in the top 3 this year.

Branch Warren - only saw his legs - but freaky as usual - he could very well be the surprise of the show.

Dennis James - looks extremely big - but hard to say what kind of conditioning - he must be better than Charlotte to be in the mix.

Darrem Charles - word is that Darrem is going to be bigger. So far, what I have been told he does not have his trademark ripped to the bone conditioning.

Chris Cormier - I was told that Chris is very full, but that his conditioning is only "okay" - but that as long as he keeps it together and does everything perfect from this point on, he is in striking distance - if not, we may see him with his lowest placement to date. If things work out, he will be able to be in the top mix.

Victor Martinez - saw him Tuesday at the Grocery store - looked very big and full - yet couldn't really gauge his conditioning. I've been told he's tightened up tremendously over the last few days.

That's about it for now - I'll keep you updated as I see and hear more...

Good stuff... Hopefully Darrem will slip through into the top 6. I love that guy... Gunter being that good? I don't think that is possible, but who knows!
