Pre-Judging is over, who is going to win?

[Storm]

Victor would have beaten all of them by far... and Phil is not that "unbelievable physique" when he is compeared "side by side" in the same stage whit top BB. Let`s see IMO

er...sure, dude, you're right phil has been hiding in minor competitions for too long uh?, c'mon.

Victor was awesome (must have won imo) last olympia, and most likely could beat Phil nowadays, but stop that bs. I wonder guys if ther is no possible "middle point", sure we all have our favourites but why all that "yo hate or hype"?

Branch has shown brilliant. Much improved since last time i saw him competing, but placing him ahead of Phil? now be serious. It's a close call between Dex and Phil, either of both could win, i sure hope Phil does and admit that anyone could preffer Dex, but pretend that Phil's physique is not comparable with dex's is just plain silly.

Cheers

1st place: Phil is going to take it. Dex is soooo close, but not enough
2nd: Dex
3rd: Branch suprised me. Didn't see that comin'
4th: Greene

 

[Batmanx007]

Yeah, go to bodybuilding.com. I think they already have the re-play

 

[MarkoB]

The replay is on bodybuiding.com

 

[Big VIC]

sorry but it is Dexters show

 

[lifterdead]

1. Dex all the way. Sorry guys, I don't think Phil has it.
2. Phil, by virtue of popularity.....
3. Branch/Kai/?

 

[Lionheart]

As musch as i like Phil ,i dont see him winning it easily,Dexter looks very good and after pre-judging its very close between those two,IMO.Branch looks great.Interesting finals coming up.

 

[Minchinator]

1.Phil
2.Dexter
3.Branch
4.Kai
5.Gustavo

 

[Braaq]

Everyone looks great. IMO it should be Heath, and then Branch. Branch's back has improved a lot and he has striated glutes. Jackson is just too small IMO.

1) Heath
2) Warren
3) Jackson
4) Greene

As far as conditioning goes, I think Warren looks just as diced as Jackson.. he just doesn't have an as aesthetic physique.

 

[Minchinator]

Just looked at pics again, Kai could get third, he could win and you could not really complain, the guy looks good.

 

[putt]

I think Dexter probably has it, but I am hoping for Phil!

 

[nigster]

Kai sure did look good, let's just hope that he will dry out a little bit to finals (he was slightly watery). But this one is hard to predict, anything can happen...

1. Dexter
2. Phil
3. Kai
4. Branch
5. Gustavo
6. Toney

 

[templare1987]

1.Phil heath
2.Branch Warren
3.Dexter Jakcson
4.Kai greene
5.gustavo badell

Welcome to the forum RealDeal.



I totally agree with your post.

Thanks Pain


People, I just don't understand one thing. Sure, Phil is doing great improvements on his physique. He sure is very good. But winning it to Dexter? No way.

Phil just got a lot of popularity with all the coverage done recently on him.
Put him against Dexter, Vic or Jay and he doesn't get top 3 for sure. Sure he's good... certainly a future Mr O. But that future is going to take at least a couple of years.
If he wins then it will be just a matter of popularity/propaganda/merchandising... just like last Mr. O where Vic was superior to Jay.

Sorry if I hurted someone but it is only my humble opinion based on the fact that I don't have a fav or icon bodybuilder.

 

[Prote]

1.Kai -you'll see
2.Phil
3.Branch/Dex

I like Phils body very much but Kai in my opinion is going to get this one. But we have to wait and see.

 

[zdub311]

i don't understand why everyone just assumes its dexters show...just cuz he's been around longest and all that doesn't mean anything IMO (and hopefully the judges)...cuz phil should win this show, they are fairly even on everything, but phils muscles and CALVES especially just stand out more.
Branch could even beat out dexter here...just like he should have in 06!!!

Did you watch the same show?
Dexter "been aroung longest and all" doesn't mean anything to me.

You just have to objective.
Front double bi, Back double bi, front lat spread, back lat spread, side chest. All belong to Dexter. He's so incredibly sharp and all.

The prob with almost everybody's Heath opinion is all the hype made around him. He nailed Iron Man, ok. But he doesn't deserve this one!

 

[RealDeal]

Just have to look at your avatar, comment and all to see who has a fav going on here.
But it's your opinion, and I just have to respect it.

RealDeal it all comes down to personal opinion - and if you don't want people to say your opinion is wrong then go easy when someone disagrees with you. I have Phil ahead of Dex but that's my opinion and I can say that I like his physique now (not in two years time) better than Dex. There are people on here who have Branch winning it and I personally hate his physique but appreciate the hard work he puts in.

It's all subjective - that's why so many people winge afterwards.
