I agree with "240 is Back" - great predictions.    Until he gets his Chest up and a bit more back thickness, Heath cannot beat Dexter.

1.  melvin
2.  heath
3.  dexter
4.  badell
5.  kai green

just going against the conventional wisdom of taking heath and dexter, maybe the chad has a miracle drug for melvin to take at the last second and another drug to slip heath and dexter that will make them flatten out dramatically ;D

Heath
Dex
Melvin
Gustavo
Toney Freeman
Kai Green

I almost want to put Melvin ahead of Dex.

I don't think he's doing it... But if he does put him in 2nd and move everyone else down one. Heath wins this and takes runner up at the O.

as much as i like Heath i still don't think he'll beat Dexter if he's on.

I think Heath can take it if he drop 4-5 pounds and come in in a bad ass condition, dry and shredded.

nope, it's Dexter's show to lose.
Title: Re: Make your top 5 Arnold Classic predictions now
Post by: GigantorX on February 18, 2008, 12:58:59 PM
I'm gonna go with

2. Heath
3. Dexter
4. Toney Freeman
5.) Dennis the Menace James

1.) Trey Brewer. It seems Trey has his ample gray matter set on making his big splash at the Arnold! His guru has stated that he is going to come in at a whopping 395lbs while maintaining a ripped and dry physique. :o Simply amazing that this 'kid' is only 17 years old and has only been lifting for 2 years!

Best of luck Trey!

Title: Re: Make your top 5 Arnold Classic predictions now

I would defenitely go for Heath as the ASC Champ. I really can't see how Dexter can beat him after looking at these pictures.

Heath's quads are great.
Title: Re: Make your top 5 Arnold Classic predictions now
Post by: Julio Ceasar on February 18, 2008, 01:17:16 PM
Heath would definitely take the side chest, triceps pose, most muscular, double front biceps. Ab legs, Front lat spread, back lat spread, back double biceps could be questionable...

Will Harris isn't in the show. Mo received a special invite based on his ironman showing and will be competing.

1. Phil Heath
2. Dexter Jackson
3. Melvin Anthony
4. Kai Greene
5. Gustavo Badell

Heath needs to learn how to hit a side chest. He hunches over too much. He would look way better if he did it right.  Side tri is unreal

Dex has him in muscle maturity but the new set of wheels on Heath is what will help him roll into victory.

I still have to go with the genetic freak that is Trey Brewer. Check the facts here: he is only 16 years old and is finally on the sauce and eating more than 3 times per day, he means business! Him and Big Sean Allen should be locked in mortal combat on the Arnold stage!

Trey, Good luck! Happy 13th Bday! ;D

Post by: MattT on February 18, 2008, 03:52:14 PM
It will be close, but don't count dexter out, if he's put on 5-7lbs of muscle over the past year he can beat heath.  Remember he is the 2 time ASC winner.

Title: Re: Make your top 5 Arnold Classic predictions now
Post by: aussiepro on February 18, 2008, 05:29:49 PM
phil will win most of the front poses, and dex will win all the back poses... will be very close, phil will dominate the side tri and the side chest is up for grabs.
it could really go either way, but what the fuck is happening to toney freeman, i know he wants to save himself for the ASC but he looked like shit at the ironman, if he gets his act into gear then he will place well...
if that moe guy brings up his torso he will be great in the future.. AMAZING ARMS ON HIM

Dex will win the side chest, his chest is fuller and his frame is wider.

1). Dexter Jackson:  The last time the guy showed up remotely out of shape was in 02.  Basically the reigning champ having won the last 2 out of 3 showings and placing only second to Victor whom is not doing the show. I like the gift but he would probably need one to beat Dexter. 

2). Phill Heath:  placed 5th last year but improved major.   I still cant see him beating Dexter, even if he does???? if you konw what I mean???  Dexter has some serious high placings and wins under his belt, Dexter is highly respected by the judges.

3).  Melvin Anthony:  Melvin has improved ,which spells trouble for many, Melvins conditioning is always a factor, if Chad can get him dry, lights out! 3rd is a lock.

4).  Gustavo Badell:  no comment

5).  Kai Greene:  Some think he can place higher, but against quality athletes? 5th is solid.

I'm with Alex 100% here. Still don't think Heath's back is good enough to overtake Dexter. The oil in Dexter's arms takes away Phil's biggest natural edge, so my money is on TMNT.

Freeman will not make the top 5.  The competition  in this show is too stiff for him.  Smaller shows are his best bet, but then again, look what happened at the Ironman...
