Well, many people are anticipating, many people are wondering if they got into the coveted Arnold Classic (usually 15 competitors in each contest, plus or minus a few) for a total of 60 invitees..
The lists are coming out soon, maybe by Thursday....
Lots of speculation on who and who is not on the list...
For the women's side of speculation, go to www.hardbody.com/news for the latest updates.
For the guys... well, lets have a good at it...

I'm betting Kamali gets the first invite ::)

I would say that Phil Heath would get the second invite for the Arnold Classic.

I thought Ronnie, Wolfe, and possibly Jay were all doing the Arnold.
-
no way on earth does Silvio beat Victor.
-
The Arnold Classic has Phil's name all over it...Vic should not do it and concentrate on pushing the envelope in the O

By "pushing the envelope" do you mean pumping more oil into his claves?

I don't think that was a placing prediction, but a guess for which guys will be invited to compete in it...
-
What about Cutler? I heard a while back that he was thinking of doing it - strictly a business decision of course.

I would agree, but I would swap one and two...maybe even throw Wolf in front of Heath?
Word has it that Cutler is going to do the Arnold...if he does, then he is the winner!
-
it will be VERY close between Vic and Phil (if Vic does the show)
Vic is (a lot) wider but Phil is freakier

yeah if Jay decides to do it they can just mail him the trophy but i'm gonna go with Phil in front of both Vic and Dennis if he can carve up that freakish size he showed in those offseason shots.
-
I think Heath should have it if he stays on the tear he'd been on before those last guest posing pictures were taken.

we never saw shots of his back.
hope this helps.

My top five for the Arnold would be
Vic to win the Arnold
2 Phil Heath
3Dexter Jackson
4 Denis Wolf
5 Brach Warren
-
Phil had a very "fresh" look to his new muscle in those last pics; a very "alive" look that suggested to me that he's just now hitting his full stride. You also do not hear him talking ANY shit on the boards anywhere; you rarely hear him say anything. He's been laid back in the cut for like a year now.

i agree, he's gonna win it.
-
martinez will win it, heath second. heath posts a few pics in offseason mode and makes u guys go gaga. unlike the olympia, a guy in offseason shape wont win the arnold.

No shit, have you ever noticed that most every winner of the Arnold achieved their best conditioning ever on it's stage?
-
why hasnt heath had to 'pay his dues' like everyone else? not fair to all the other guys.
anyway i say
1. vic
2. wolf
3. dex
4. heath
5. freeman
if jay does it, bump everyone down 1 spot.
-

that's shit, if you look better than the other guy you should beat him. Simple as that.
-
there have been many rumors that victor wont be doing the ASC, i doubt he will, if he does he will win it easily,
2nd-dexter
3rd-wolf (once again if he does it, not sure if he will)
4th- either heath or branch he has meant to have made some huge improvements in his physique.
heath wont win it, not with the caliber of competitors doing the show now way in thw world
-
1. Victor Martinez
2. Dexter Jackson
3. Dennis Wolf
4. Branch Warren
5. Phil Heath
6. Melvin Anthony
7. Gustavo Baddel
..if Jay does the Arnold he's gettin 2nd
-
Why does everyone have Branch so high up? Know something I don't??? Maybe I don't know the rest of the lineup well enough, but Silvio will probably be 5th imo.
-
ill hav to agree with HURICANE
-
no way Branch beats Heath, if Victor does it
1-Victor
2-Heath
3-Dexter
4-Wolfe
5-Melvin
-
What makes u guys think phil heath is going to win the arnold this year.
He couldnt beat GUSTAVO BADDELL last year for christ sakes.
Hes got a long way to go before he can even think about stepping up there with vic and dexter.
-
my boy wolf is going to win the whole goddamn thing,and after that the placings really dont matter ;)
bench
-
Wolf is going to eat Heath up. He has a superior frame and is twice as wide. If Victor's conditioning is on, he could win. Now this is a contest!
-
We can all count on Heath having the meanest arms in the contest
-
David St. Hubbens is the sleeper in this one.
-
1-Melvin Anthony
2-Branch Warren
3-Dexter Jackson
4-dennis wolf
5-victor martinez
6philheath
smart ass ;D
-
vic will win the arnold. more accomplished and complete than heath. wolf will probably get a 3rd or 4th, at best.
-
I'm gonna go with Wolf for the win.
so:
1st Wolf
2nd Vic
3rd Phil
I just hope to fucking god that Jay doesn't do it. If Jays in it, he wins it. Regardless of how he looks.
-
1 Cutler
2 Victor
3 Wolf
4 Dexter
5 Heath

I hope your right and Wolf wins it,But in Modern BB you have to pay your dues.
-

true, and wolf wont win it, regardless. needs a better back. vic will win, heath and dex 2nd/3rd, wolf 4th or 5th.

I think if Wolf finishes 4th or 5th theres going to be alot of Booing ,his the crowd favourite

to be honest, i think wolf can beat heath, if he comes in olympia shape or better. heath's back, chest and structure were (at the 2007 arnold) weak compared to wolf. only other guy to put wolf out of the top 3 might be freeman. otherwise it's vic, dex, freeman or wolf, and then heath for the top 5.

Really to me it look like border line kidney damage or severely raised liver enzymes...Which is why his ankles were all swollen...I guess we will see...The dude is big for sure but is sporting that anadrol water bloat (of the 80's) that looks stupid...
My guess is he will follow a Cutler like diet and come in fat...And/or panic 4 weeks out and starve himself with a yayo diet and come in flat as hell..Another thing he is doing is putting why to much oil in those arms...If he doesn't cut the shit, he should be marked down for it IMOP
-
I hope your right and Wolf wins it,But in Modern BB you have to pay your dues.
Tell me about it ::)
In all honesty its gonna be a pretty hard line up to pick. And if Jay decides to show up, that makes it even harder to pick. I'd love for Wolf to win (he will win the Arnold in the next 2 years anyway) but Vic will be pretty hard to beat, going for a repeat title.
-
no way Branch beats Heath, if Victor does it
1-Victor
2-Heath
3-Dexter
4-Wolfe
5-Melvin
I agree!
-
victor
wolf
heath
dexter
if jay shows up he wins
-
1-Victor
2-Dexter
3-Wolfe
4-Heath
5-Melvin
6-Gustavo
Though, to be honest, I think Wolf, Heath and Dexter are all interchangeable in regards to 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Obviously, depends on who brings their "A" game. Vic will definitely win.
-
ACHTUNG ACHTUNG Wolf in der straße :D
Cutler will enter and get beat by Wolf OMG!!!
1. Wolf
2. Cutler
then maybe
3 Vic
4 Heath
5 Dex
it's hard to call, Heath will be lucky if he beats Dex...
-
i know it's a little early but here goes...
1-Phil Heath
2-Victor Martinez
3-Dennis Wolf
4-Dexter jackson
5-Branch Warren
6-Melvin Anthony
Wolf is not in I think. I'd say based on Phil's added muscle.
1. Victor
2. Phil (if he is ripped like in Colorado)
3. Dexter (could be second but might be out muscled)
4. Kai
5. Melvin or Branch
If Kai isn't too big being 315 this offseason and chisels the physique like in Colorado with 15-20 more quality lbs. he will be in the Top 3.
-
Guys, Branch has a badly torn lat......does no one notice this shit?
-
I seriously think it is a mistake for Victor to do this show as he should just gun for the Olympia and let his body/receptors rest a little and clean out.
Rumor has it Jay will enter to collect another big paycheck as he will retire after his next Olympia win.
I predict Phil Heath to be in the Top-5 but he won't win. His genetics for muscle are outstanding but his structure is quite narrow compared to a Martinez. I can see him landing at 3rd place.
I think Melvin will be the darkhorse this year if Victor doesn't enter it.
FT-1

Wolf is going to eat Heath up. He has a superior frame and is twice as wide. If Victor's conditioning is on, he could win. Now this is a contest!
I agree, Wolf is on fire! Now after Jay's reign is over, Wolf and Heath will have a nice competition for years to come! IMO they are the future...one without guts!
-
jay is not doing the ASC, there were many rumors but he has put an end to them saying that he wont do the show, i cant remember when he did but u remember seeing an interview were he cleared it up,
anyway vic will win...
Guys, Branch has a badly torn lat......does no one notice this shit?
i didn't know that he tore his lat, how did he do that
-
1. victor martinez
2. dexter jackson
3. dennis wolf
4. phil heath
5. silvio samuel
6. toney freeman? is he doing it
7. johny jackson
8. badell
9. branch warren
if jay does it knock everyone down one, or it may even go
1. dexter
2. jay
3. victor

FOR THE 100000st TIME, WOLF ISN'T DOING THE ARNOLDS YOU SILLY BUNCH OF MORONS!!!!!!! ::)
-
so ur saying wolf can't win then?
-
Arnold will be terribly vexed if Vic wins. Let's just put it that way.
Mike
-
I'd like to see Dexter win it...especially if he comes in as full and ripped as he did this past Olympia. If Jay Gutler comes in he probably will win it... or possibly lose it to create more hype for the Olympia
-
Branch tore it last year..go back through his shows and look at his right lat attachment.
-
I'll go ahead and say that Dexter should win. Victor Martinez will be a close second. I'd say that third is up for grabs between Heath, Anthony, and Wolf.
-
If Dexter comes in even like 1lb heavier than the olympia he'll take it. He got robbed at the olympia, everyone always bitching he never looks any different, but at the olympia he was BETTER than he's ever been for sure!!!

Jay has two more Os in him before he calls it a day. He gets it in 08, and they'll give it to him in 09 as a goodbye present. What is he pulling yrly anyway after taxes and expenses? Every sport you know what the top guys make but bbing. This is a good job for the brain child over at bodybuilding.com to find out for the fans.
-
dexter heath martinez warren
-
I like Phil his day will come but just like Cutler said every year you have to diet different to account for new muscle. So if Phil really put on as much weight as those pics lead us to believe then I don't see him coming in as sharp. The worst thing to happen to the top 5 guys in the sport was for Wolf to get a call out. If Wolf gets called out with Dex and Vic they will look lie children next to him. Esp Dex, Wolf wins if he gets the call outs.

Well, many people are anticipating, many people are wondering if they got into the coveted Arnold Classic (usually 15 competitors in each contest, plus or minus a few) for a total of 60 invitees.. I'll be there.And for all you people who think twice about going for dream after dream take it from me some things are impossible but a lot of things aren't! Thanks get big you all keep me going in one way or another. A.D. CHERRY
The lists are coming out soon, maybe by Thursday....
Lots of speculation on who and who is not on the list...
For the women's side of speculation, go to www.hardbody.com/news for the latest updates.
For the guys... well, lets have a good at it...
-
I think Heath will pull it out he's not competed since last year year and he's fresh and added some size , I think many of the other guys competed to much this year and their conditioning will suffer for it , depending on who's in shape it the top 3 in my opinion can all be interchanged , Victor , Dex and Heath , with Wolf fourth , Silvio following him and maybe Melvin but these two spots could interchange depending on condition ing.
-
Top 5
Victor Martinez
Dexter Jackson
Melvin Anthony
Toney Freeman
Phil Heath
phil won't place high cause of politics of him being young
