Flex, September 2010 Excerpt:
The Only Preview (You'll Ever Need) To Mr. Olympia 2010!

Last year, en route to his third Mr. Olympia title, Jay Cutler hit his all-time best, overcoming the most competitive lineup in recent history and beating the odds - odds that said that winning the title back the year after losing it was impossible. This year, with nearly all of last year's top 10 scheduled to compete, can Cutler pull off another performance of a lifetime? A lot can change in a year's time.

Heading into this September's slugfest, two names top the list of formidable challengers: Kai Greene and Phil Heath. They finished one and two, respectively, at the Arnold Classic this past March, and as history has shown, whoever shines at the Arnold is bound to score big at the O. To this tandem add '08 Mr. Olympia Dexter Jackson, last year's runner-up Branch Warren, Victor Martinez and the rest of the supporting cast, all hungry for a chance to dethrone Cutler - and you have the makings for one helluva 45th anniversary at the 2010 IFBB Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 24-25.
