This year things were changed radically on two fronts. The 1967 Mr. Olympia, won by Sergio Oliva, heralded a new era in bodybuilding competition. The winners of each division would then compete against each other to decide an overall champion. This seventh victory was especially controversial, as most fellow competitors and observers felt that he lacked both muscle mass and conditioning, and shouldn't have won over Chris Dickerson or Mike Mentzer.

Firstly the Ronnie Coleman era has ended and it appears Jay Cutler and Victor Martinez will challenge for the title in future years. Coleman returned in 2006 to defend his title but instead placed second to Jay Cutler, who won his first title after four consecutive years of finishing second to Coleman. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below. Arnold, still in respectable shape from having prepared for his iconic role in Conan the Barbarian and, as one line of speculation has it, seeking to ‘school’ a few of the new breed of bodybuilders, was determined to show he still had it. Once again Dennis was among the most impressive to look at onstage, but his comparative lack of aesthetics might have cost him in the end. Throughout the comparison poses between Jay and, at that point, the current Mr. O, Ronnie Coleman, it was clear that Ronnie would have a degree of difficulty defending his title. Markus's placement tells more about his competition than the physique he presented, as he was arguably at his all time best. But as the 2006 Olympia has shown we can no longer really assume, but only guess who will place where based on their previous outings. With his 2017 win, Heath tied Arnold Schwarzenegger for second most Olympia victories, behind Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman who won eight. That is until he announced an unexpected return to the posing dais in 1980. Although a very large man, Victor demonstrated great symmetry and shape complete with some of the best legs and widest lats onstage. Up against arguably one of the best Olympia line-up’s in the contest’s history, Franco, bowlegged, off his usual ripped conditioning, top heavy, and sporting gynecomastia (the benign enlargement of breast tissue in males), was not considered to be a threat to the top six. Those who displayed the ideal combination of mass and aesthetics were justifiably rewarded for their efforts.

The 2006 Mr. Olympia will go into the history books as being a major turning point for men's professional bodybuilding.

This meant game over for Ronnie and the end of an era. Apparently someone forgot to tell Jay.

As those with sheer mass, but less in the aesthetics department were placed lower, athletes renowned for their shape and symmetry, and who had made significant improvements in size, were placed towards the top. Next, witnessed was the emergence of several more aesthetically pleasing contenders to challenge for future top placing's. From 1974 until 1979, a dual weight division system was used, splitting competitors into two categories: "Heavyweights" (over 200lbs) and "Lightweights" (under 200lbs). the nickname "The Growth Hormone era". No one can argue that the physiques of Victor Martinez, Dexter Jackson and Melvin Anthony - third, fourth and fifth respectively - deserved any less than top six placing's, as they brought to the stage exactly what the judging criteria demands: a pleasing shape combined with high levels of muscle mass and excellent conditioning. Harold Poole holds two Mr. Olympia distinctions : one is that he is the youngest ever competitor to have participated in the Olympia—in 1965 he competed in the first Mr. Olympia at the age of 21; the other is that he was the only man to compete in all three of the initial Mr. Olympia contests. Probably the second biggest surprise of the evening, next to Jays win, was the major overall improvements in size Melvin Anthony had made. On the other hand, compared to his 2005 performance (where he placed 15th) it could be said he redeemed himself at this year's event.

Unfortunately the Mythical Oliva was suspended from IFBB competition in ’71, which left the gate open for Arnold to win his second Olympia title. As such, Zane was able to defeat opponents who exceeded his own muscle-mass but lacked his level of muscular definition. At 5 ft 10 ins and 240 lbs[2] Oliva, nicknamed "The Myth", displayed an unforeseen level of muscle mass and definition, including a "V" shape of a large and a well-formed upper-body that tapered down to a narrow waist.

So impressive was his 2001 showing that he came extremely close to unseating the widely considered invincible three-time Olympia champion Ronnie Coleman. In 2009, Jay Cutler became the third Mr. Olympia in history (the others being Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu) to reclaim the title, and the only Mr. Olympia in history to reclaim the title after having lost it, by returning on stage and defeating the reigning champion, Dexter Jackson, who placed third in 2009. With great conditioning, in line with what he presented at the Europa Pro, which he won (one of the densest men onstage, both there and at the 06 Olympia), and an excellent amount of size for such a tall man, Freeman is now one of the men to beat.
