THE 2009 Mr. Olympia…WTF
I don’t have much time to write down what I felt about the placings last night at the Olympia. All I know is that that show was rigged! ARE YOU SERIOUS….JAY?! Yeah don’t get me wrong I thought that he looked pretty good but he was not the best and never has been in my opinion. There were competitors there last night that EASILY should have placed higher than they did…but I think that my friend Brandon said it the best…please read what he wrote:
"Does anyone else feel that Jay Cutler should not have won? Yeah, he looked much better then last year but he still didn’t look the best. There are a number of people that were looking better. I think Jay Cutler had a 4th or 5th place body this year.
The top four for me would have been ,in no particular order, Branch Warren, Dexter Jackson, Kai Greene, and Phil Heath. It is hard to place them from 1st to 4th however because they all brought something different and unique to the table, especially Kai Greene. Kai Greene has a totally different body type then a Dexter Jackson or a Phil Heath and his legs are probably the best out there right now. Branch Warren brought it this year. He was looking good. Dexter Jackson was looking great as usual, no surprise there. Phil Heath was a little big then i remember. He didn’t disappoint.
Sixth place should have gone to someone else. Victor Martinez’s legs were small and his upper body was not that much better. I know his has knee issues but if you are going to give sixth place away like that why not give it to Joel Stubbs. He has knee problems too. The dude is 6?3" and has a better upper body then most of the shorter guys. Arguably he has the best back in the business right now.
All the bodybuilders looked great and they all deserved to be there but the placings where i mess in my opinion. It could just be me though. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?"
So, are there any OTHER thoughts on this show?

I absolutely concur Branch or Dexter easily beat out Jay in my books but I honestly cant think of an Olympia where I saw him as the clear winner.

I am very thankful that Bodybuilding.com allowed those who could not attend the Olympia the ability to see it through their webcast. Too cool! I am kind of bias when it comes to the Olympia. I tend to root for the more Flex Wheeler, Shawn Ray and Dexter look as symetry is more achieveable than monster mass! However, with that being said although I wanted Dexter to repeat as he has more than paid his dues I met Jay and he is one of the coolest and kindest people I have ever met. So good for him. BUT, what was really devasting was to see Dexter place 3rd! Come On people WTH! Branch was big but not defined! It’s a disgrace a total disgrace when the defending champ who looked razor sharp did not get runner up.
