The buzz going around this year is which Ronnie will show up? Is he too old, is his left tricep and Lat torn, can he at 43 pull it off one more time?! Rumors are flying; Jay is big and incredible. His training partner Eric shows us pictures on his cell from 3 weeks ago-WOW! He's physique is thick, hard, and full. Ronnie's girlfriend Alti says he is ON! I only live 15 minutes from Victor, his girlfriend and their baby, and Tammy says he is looking real good.
I started polling people while on the plane ride from Newark, NJ.
They come out one at a time. My notes and first impressions;
Great conditioning! His Lats are a little high and he needs more calves. He should place top 5.
Full complete classic Jackson.

He is thick with a good physique. There were hundreds of shell shaped fans with his picture on them being waived in the crowd. That was pretty cool!

Flows so nice, the best I've ever seen him! He has great separation on side thighs and Hams.

Out classed in this show. He's just big like the hundred of bouncers in New York City.
He has a very lean face. He looks really good to me.

The X-Man is off; everyone was expecting the top 4 or 5 even.

Age is showing, but he is still better then 99.99% of the competitors on earth.

So far Mr. O from his thighs down.

Came out to his "Raise the roof" pose. He is hard, but he doesn't have the same dominant look. His legs looked a little to lean from behind and a slightly small left Lat.

I liked this guy's look very thick, small waist, and almost grainy texture.
He comes out way off. It looks like a water problem.
After the first round I have it! It will be Victor, Ron, Dex, Jay, Wolf, and Badell.
1st call out by judges (in no order); Victor, Ron, Dexter, & Jay. I thought Victor won every pose. Jay is starting to look much better.
2nd call out (in no order); Wolf, David Henry, Melvin Anthony, but no Badell?

Markus Ruhl is being called in at the later call outs. What's up with body building when Markus can't Ruhl?
Dr. Carlton Coulker, doctor to pro-athletes and Body Building author and Triple H (WWE super star) has it, Vic, Jay, Dex, Ron, Dennis. Most of the audience has it pretty much the same. Last Judge Call out of this round (in no order), Vic, Jay, Ron, Dex, & Melvin Anthony. End of round 2 and a very exciting and surprising Pre-Judging.
