For the first time since Ronnie Coleman won the Sandow in 1998, a competitor caught him from behind. That man was Jay Cutler, and whenever the two went mano-a-mano in a back pose, it was evident how far Cutler had come in his development. In a feat many thought would never happen, Coleman, he of the freaky mass and stunning detail in his lats, mid-back and traps, was far from a shoo-in on this pose.
However, in the end, even that wasn't enough to stop the reign of Coleman, who made it eight in a row, tying him with Lee Haney for the Olympia record.
All told, this Olympia had more than its share of trauma, drama and controversy. From the opening segment of the night show, when powerlifter Gene Rychalik took the stage to attempt to break his all-time bench press record and press 1,015 pounds, only to end up broken himself under the bar as his try went awry, it was a crazy night. There were disgruntled athletes backstage, crying foul over the supposed "belly ban" that didn't seem to alter the scores in any way. You had wasp-waisted David Henry and Kris Dim out of the top 10, the most overlooked bodybuilder in the show in Darrem Charles crashing into ninth (when he just as easily could have been as high as third), and you had a top six where again the mass monsters dominated - mighty Dennis James in sixth, massive Gunter Schlierkamp in fourth, and of course Coleman and Cutler in the top two spots. (Sandwiched in between were a very happy Victor Martinez in fifth and Gustavo Badell notching third for the second year in a row, an accomplishment he should be truly proud of.)

I think the guy on the right uses the same tanning formula as John Kerry.
How anybody would want to turn there bodies into freakish reflections of what they should be is beyond me.
Did someone paste a picture of somebody else's head on the guy on the right?
I didn't want the whole "look" so I only developed my forearms.
Signed, Popeye
There’s a classic ideal, and it’s safe to say that ain’t it.
I notice these body builders' heads always look wrong, too normal. The head must not change no matter what.
Nice photos. Now, how much is a pound of brisket?
“Ear muscles, the last frontier.”
"Freakish reflections"?Those guys are simply obsessed with getting big,and being the best.BTW,the $$$ and bennies are pretty good.
Just a guess, but I bet their heads are mostly full of muscle as well.
