Arnold Classic Predictions / Invitation List Thread

[jonsande]

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
