Skip’s Olympia Predictions

LEAD

The always insightful Skip Hill lays down his picks for top five at this year’s Mr. Olympia.

3rd Place: Branch Warren

Branch Warren

If I’m really quiet, I’m sure I can hear a lot of you booing me right now. The thing is this: I like the guy and I like his physique, his work ethic and the fact that he is hard as hell every single time he steps on stage. Still, there is no getting around how blocky he is. He is this decade’s Rich Gaspari and anyone that knows me knows that I LOVED Gaspari when I was a teenager and wanted Rich to win the Mr O. BADLY! However, it didn’t happen for Rich and it won’t happen for Branch in my opinion. He just isn’t as pretty as my picks for the top two spots and you can’t train for pretty.

      Good question. I haven’t had the opportunity to see him standing next to the top physiques so it is hard to say. I think it is very possible that he won’t finish top 10 but until I see him standing in the line up, it’s difficult to say where he will fall. My overseas guys won’t like me for that one, I don’t think. :)

    It looks like Skip doesn’t have Shawn finishing in the top 5 this year Susith. Believe us, the Skipster knows more than a thing or two about this sport. Why do you think Shawn will finish top five? Let us know and thanks for reading!
