Toney "XMAN" Freeman " I was pleased with my Body and I got what most pros may never accomplish - I was compared with the best on the Planet and I am one of them"  " I was peaking for the O and I peaked"  " Words are Words but a man puts work in ! I Worked all year to stay in the minds of the Judges and I took every Negative comments and found truth in it. I took all of the positive Feed back and separated what was fact and what is  fiction."

"I brought my best - Let the Judges Judge and I will keep working! Promoters and Fans do not Pay for me to come in looking less than my best and I dislike being out of shape"

Whats next ?

I am so energized for the 2009 season - Bigger- of course I will be bigger but refinement is my game. presentation is my shit and Arnold Champ and Mr. O is my goal!  My Fans are very important to me and i will be all over the country and will have Refine my schedule to spend more time at the NPC shows and National shows to make sure they see us up close and personal.

Toney looked great!  (best of his career IMO)
shoulda placed higher (again IMO)
only negative was his posing routine  (drop the "Male Stripper" shaking ur butt gyrating crap,most bodybuilding fans and i say MOST are hetrosexual males and we don't wanna see that)

again Mad props to the X-MAN he rocked the house and was at his all time best!!
next year is Toneys year!

maybe he lost is fourth place slot with the gay gyrating of his boody in front of the audience and seductively rubbing his hands down his torso then framing his package with his hands... wtf is that?...totally did not belong on that stage....especially with a 90 yr old Weider sitting in the audience.

He should have been in 4th place----he was much harder and better conditioned than Wolf and his legs blew away Wolf's-------

from the front he was tied with Wolf but from the side Wolf smoked him, Wolfs side bicep is unbeatable, and of course his most muscular beats everyone.

Freeman lacks thickness, he looks great straight on back and frone, great aesthetic lines, very old school, but he lacks that thick muscle on muscle look.

WHAT!!??!! Heath's side chest/bicep is ridiculous!!!!  This pose has that WOW factor that a Mr O needs------Heath will be Mr O one day!!

Very true, bitch about guts and freaks all you want but oily musclemen in thongs shaking their asses is far worse for bb's credability with the masses. This is without question gay and will only turn off normal people from the sport, how can these guys even do that shit without being embarrassed i would be just being in the audience.

Toney looked great and deserved a top 5 spot.

He'll be guest posing in Denver, Colorado - November 15, 2008.

Maybe if he was injury free and it didn't show.

Otherwise yes, he would have perfect physique. 10/10

Toney is not injured - He may be one the healthiest out of all of them . The Pec tear - ha ha ha is the same one he has been winning with since his return to the stage in 2001! new subject

X is in the Top 5 in the world and will refine and improve - popular or not to hear - it is the truth!

Id rather have Toney as MR OLYMPIA then Dexter  (Toney IMO embodies everything that a MR OLYMPA should be)

he's an awesome tall champion...i have no idea what the music was and it wasn't my tastes but the ass shaking seemed appropriate considering the trashy posing music
