Title: 2009 Ironman - Johnnie Jackson is in
Post by: Ron on January 17, 2009, 02:57:57 PM

One week to go before prejudging begins for the 2009 Ironman Pro men’s bodybuilding contest, and I am excited.  The lineup has gotten stronger, with both Troy Alves and Johnnie Jackson electing to compete here in Los Angeles, at the Los Angeles Convention center. I will be there, taking pictures for bb.com, as well as Isaac Hinds, and trying to get the most interesting pictures we can, as well as perhaps some zany videos. 

Both Troy Alves and Johnnie Jackson entered on the last day of the deadline, as well as Tamer El-Guindy who was seen training at Gold’s Gym North Hollywood earlier this week, and and Omar Deckard (who entered around January 15th),   With that, we have 27 IFBB pros that should be competing, which are

Eddie Abbew (England)
Troy Alves (USA)
Oliver Adzievski (Sweden)
Mohammad Bannout (Lebanon)
Thomas Bengali (Italy)
AD Cherry (USA)
Omar Deckard (USA)
Constantinos Demetriou (Australia)
Mark Dugdale (USA)
Tamer El-Guindy (Egypt)
Moe El Moussawi (New Zealand)
Oleg Emelyanov (Russia)
Aiman Faour (Lebanon)
DeShaun Grimez (USA)
Ahmad Haidar (Lebanon)
Marcus Haley (USA)
Johnnie Jackson (USA)
Martin Kjellstrom (Sweden)
Marc LaVoie (Canada)
Don Long (USA)
Daron Lytle (USA)
Caesar Mendible (Venezuela)
Evgeny Mishin (Russia)
Ronny Rockel (Germany)
Silvio Samuel (Spain)
Daniele Seccarecci (Italy)
Hidetada Yamagishi (Japan)

I am working on my top five or even top ten predictions

I would love to see Ahmed Haider do well at this show. At one time, his abs were the best in the world.

Every year, JOJ does the Ironman

Every year, JOJ shows up smooth at that show (some time worst than the others)

I'll predict 9th place for him !

JOJ is not competing at the Ironman show.  He will be in LA to film a "training video" directed by Lonnie Teper.
