Olympia 2004 Results (courtesy of BigSickD)

Jay Cutler is a great bodybuilder, no one can argue that. Ronnie is the greatest this sport has ever seen though. He is heads and shoulders above the second place guy at every show. Not even Arnold blew everyone off the stage the way Ronnie does. You might not like Ronnie, but you cant deny the fact that when he steps on stage it's over and the other competitors know it. He is absolutely dominant. No one will ever beat him again. He has separated himself from the pack, Cutler had a chance in 2001, it's gone now.

Its true, Cutler`s chance is gone. He abused syntol so his back and shoulders look sick!

Cutler yes is a big boy, but his physique like I said before is garbage. I'm really not sure why he gets the high placings and scores from the judges that he does? Looks like a big bloated box with a bubbly midsection to me. DJ, GB, and MR thumbs up!

Anyone know why Ronnies abs seemed to split apart in the middle? Too much GH perhaps?I noticed Dennis James had this going on as well...

Great review.

Ronnie - his physique is looking sloppier and sloppier the bigger he gets; however, NOBODY can match his size and conditioning which is why he deserves first place. He should also retire because his physique is losing its edge.

Cutler - nobody is denying that Cutler is a great bodybuilder; however, Cutler is the guy who will be forever known as the one to gets the gift placings. He didn't deserve 2nd place. Sure he has the mass, but his conditioning was way off and his physique is sloppy. The only thing he has on some other bodybuilders is mass, other then that nothing else. Should have been 5th at the highest.

Dexter - this guy is perfection! Nobody can match his overall physique. The only thing he can't match with other guys is sheer size, but he beats them in all other categories. Should have been 2nd. Future Mr. Olympia.

Ruhl - he has never looked as good as he did, one of the biggest improvements. He should have gotten the most-muscular and been placed 3rd or 4th.

Gustavo - huge improvement and awesome overall package. Should have been 3rd or 4th.

Gunter - sloppy physique and got a gift placing. Should have been way further down around 10th.

DJ & Cormier - off as usual.

OK! Coming come from an unbiased source since Kevin Levrone has obviously retired. His commentary was great though, very humorous! Triple H, lets just say ANNOYING! Anyways, even though Ronnie's conditioning wasn't all time best and stomach again was bloated and distended he deserved 1st place. The guy is just a fricking beast! 5'11" at 296 lbs. shredded, good god! I've never seen him looking that large before ever. Cutler, NO FUCKING WAY. All politics, has to be. To me he deserved no higher than 5th and honestly there were guys that didn't make top six that should have easily beat him. It's all his name, and that's it. No symmetry, blocky waist, distended puffy goofy looking stomach, and wasn't even in that good of condition. Plus, with a hair cut like that, NAHH! Gustavo was tight and deserved his placing, but Dexter got robbed. That n*gg* is just sick! I have never seen Markus Ruhl looking that dialed in either, he had his shit together this time around. I don't know that's about it for my 2 cents, but one more thing (well actually 2) that I thought was the greatest!

- Ronnie Coleman beat Dexter Jackson in an abs & thighs pose in the "let's compare a rose round." I guess abs don't count, must just be thigh size?

- And even yet to add injury to insult, Jay Cutler (WHAT THE F**K?) later beats Ronnie Coleman in an abs & thighs pose? I was like yeah right, and almost had to throw the TV out the window.

Something really has to be done about the IFBB as a sport if it ever wants to be respectable like other professional organizations. It's really almost getting down right silly. And, I hate to say it.

His abs are split because he was born that way. They have been that way for his entire career. He has a wide linea alba. GH causes a distended stomach, not a change in the shape of the muscle.

During all this, I've forgot to mention Kris Dim. Even though he came 12th I think he has some serious potential. He has a really dense physique

I second that! Kris Dim's physique kinda reminds me of my own physique. In about 2-3 years of course!

Cutler had Coleman Beat

if your on crack then yeah

Bro you're getting there by the looks of you in the avatar.

I'd like to see Idrise Ward-El and Dim duke it out at an Olympia like they did in the IFBB qualifier a few years. Actually, a lot of dudes in that competition, will be the next generation of freaks.
