2016 Mr. Olympia Top-10 Predictions {Final Standings}

A few days ago, I posted my top-10 prediction for the 2016 Mr. Olympia contest. Let's see how close I was to the final standings!

2016 Mr. Olympia Top-10 Predictions

There is no need for a long drawn out post about this upcoming Mr. Olympia. I am just going to share my predictions for the top-10 and keep it moving!

Young, Younger Guns | Compton vs. McCarver

This upcoming Mr. Olympia will definitely be a highly contested event. Not only do you have reigning champ Phil Heath going for his sixth straight Sandow but IFBB Hall of Fame pro Kevin Levrone is making a comeback at the age of 52 after being away from the stage for some 13 years. And of course, we can not forget about the ageless one, Dexter Jackson, who at age 47 and the #2 bodybuilder in the world, is aiming to dethrone Heath and nab his second Mr. Olympia title. With so many exceptional champions looking to work their way to the #1 spot, this year's "Super Bowl of bodybuilding" will be one for the books!

Kevin Levrone: One of the Best To Never Do It!

Baltimore, Maryland's Kevin Levrone is my second favorite bodybuilder of all-time behind Flex Wheeler. When I began to follow bodybuilding as a teenager in the mid-90s, I would cut Kevin's pictures out of the FLEX and Muscle & Fitness magazines and hang them up on my bedroom walls. I was always in awe of his incredible size and shape; he was thick with huge round shoulders, a big wide back, full chest, a tight waist with deep cuts, massive legs, bowling ball arm thickness, and superstar charisma to cap it all of! And in a day when most competitors turn pro and then take one to three years before making a professional debut, Kevin's rookie season in 1992 saw him win three out of his five competitions and earn his first of four Mr. Olympia runner-up placings. Having won 23 contests in his 11-year career, Kevin is the second winningest professional bodybuilder behind 8-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, which earned him a place in the IFBB Hall of Fame in 2009.

My Review Of 'Generation Iron'

I saw 'Generation Iron' opening day (September 20th) and I must say that director Vlad Yudin struck gold with this docudrama.  It was crafted very well from beginning to end (even though the ending more or less just "fell off").  However, as beautiful as this film was it is my opinion that only true fans of competitive bodybuilding will be able to emotionally connect to it!  Bodybuilding is incredibly fascinating with an unspoken camaraderie among those who eat, live and breathe the sport and it can be appreciated for its roots of hard work, determination, and creativity.

Jay Cutler | 5 Tips To Secure Your Legacy

There is no doubt that Jay Cutler has achieved bodybuilding and business greatness by being consistent and working hard.  By way of supersite Bodybuilding.com, the 4x Mr. O shares five tips to not only build but maintain a legacy.  I found the tips to be sound, powerful, and incredibly motivating-hope you find them to be the same!

Olympia Contender Victor Martinez Trains Arms [VIDEO]

Going into this year's Mr. Olympia, all of the predictions for the top-six do not include Victor Martinez.  People forget that in 2007, it was Victor who pushed Jay Cutler to the edge to claim his runner-up spot that year-many felt he should have won, myself being one of those people!  That was then, this is now and with his second place finish in May at the New York Pro and a win at the Toronto Pro shortly after, Victor set himself up with some pretty decent momentum going into the O.  In the video below he is training arms and you can determine if he is of top-six quality.

Jay Cutler's Boss Office [VIDEO]

There is simply no argument here, outside of the great Arnold Schwarzenegger, no bodybuilder as is influential, popular, and successful as four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler.

Jay Cutler Six Weeks Out!

Four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler (seen training back in this photo) looks to be in great shape in his efforts to garner his fifth title.  While the 2013 Mr. O is stacked like never before, Jay Cutler is never to be underestimated.  He is the only Olympian in this year's line-up to ever lose the title and win it back, so hey, anything is possible for Big Jay!
