I would love nothing more than to see Dexter finish top 3, and his aesthetic was great last year and he kept some gains ... but Rhoden is beasting and Wolf will probably mass his way back in as a lock on 3-5. I think the top end will be worse this year -- and overall a lot of the guys in the top 10 are either post-prime or on the edge.
So ... yeah, maybe. Would be awesome. Martinez has the fountain of youth thing happening, too.

i saw the recent dexter photos and thought he made crazy progress so that's why i have him so high atm. that being said it's hard to tell from stand alone photos so there's a good chance my opinion will change after i see them all together. but to me he looks like he's made crazy gains. Wolf's V is probably the best out of my top 5 but i haven't liked his conditioning that's why i put rhoden above wolf. also wolf's lower body is relatively weak.

but we shall see

Dex is a king of aethetics in today's game. I wonder if he's doing the Flex Wheeler thing. Use the aesthetics but add mass to compete?
Kai is clearly trying to pull a Ronnie. And it might just work but the gut thing ... could be a killer. If he fixed his traps & delts and even maintained the old gut and comes in at 280-290 everyone knows it's all over ... but it's hard to believe everything you hear. The instagram pics etc of Kai's back feathers could be old or just a matter of sick lighting on a heavy pull day.

Your point about direct comparison is spot-on. Wolf is probably huge with bad legs as usual, but it's hard to say. He looked like he took 35x hydroxycuts before the media day lol (dat sweaty paste hulk smash face).

No doubt. I was annoyed with kai and his fans all through that video..
