Who's your pick for the Olympia '09??

Yep, it's that time of year again. In a few short weeks (3 or 4 methinks) the Mr O will be upon us. As usual there's lot of noise on the BB forums as to who is the fans pick. Let's take a quick look at the potential top 6:
  • Dexter Jackson

  • Phil Heath
  • Denis Wolf

  • Jay Cutler
  • Victor Martinez

  • Kai Green


DJ, as the current Mr O, gets a better than usual chance. It's rare that the current Mr O gets a knock back next time around. That he is usually dry and in shape, indeed his 'out of shape' still being better than most, means his chances must be good.



Phil Heath, as the youngest of the group, seems to have the greatest potential. At Dexter’s recent competition he guest posed along side Ronnie, Dexter and Jay and seemed, at 5 weeks out to be ready to go. Huge arms and weaknesses well hidden he is, as they say: a contender.

Denis Wolf. Called by many writers in 08 and 09 ‘the fans favourite’ (BB.com had a poll and he walked it) Dennis is a broad shouldered, slim waisted German giant. With pretty much only poor calves holding him back he has a fair chance.

Jay C. Already a multi Mr O winner but still, compared to Ronnie, young enough to do well does he have what it takes to get it back together again and reclaim the title?? Changes to training and diet have been mentioned and so perhaps we will see a return to top form??

Victor Martinez has had some issues to overcome these past 18 months or so. The death of a sister only too recently may have hurt his chances and a major knee injury sometime ago was not completely over come last time he competed (Arnold Classic this year). Ronnie has been reported as saying he has it in him to win the Mr O.


Kai Greene. Winner of this years Arnold, beating Victor, and like Phil seeming to improve all the time. Certainly a different kind of poser and someone who can and does get into shape. Is it his time?
