Toney is great, i know he's older but he'll return to form and do some damge next year

Good call bringing Toney on. After EVERYONE predicted him in the Top 5, I'd say he's got some questions to answer.

Dan & Bob, Go to this thread for some Getbig questions for Toney:

Toney knows he was off and doesn't make excuses. He's a true professional. The past couple of years I've had a chance to talk with Toney and he is a cool cat. He's honest, humble and all around classy guy. He's the type of guy you want as your spokesman. He's doing well - headblade, VPX, Weider and I'm sure there are more sponsors.

He proved he's a threat in the first three shows this year. Don't count the man out based on one "off" showing. Sucks it had to be the Olympia but hey it happens.

Looking forward to hearing the interview.

I am sure I am out of the loop but why did he leave MD as a sponsor to go to Weider? Nothing wrong with either publication BTW just wondering

He answered it in the olympia backstage webcast interview. He was very aware that he wasn't in shape, but decided to compete for the fans either way. What else can he say that we haven't heard yet?

I never met him but I read on Mayhem that a lot of people said he has a very big head (not in the Jay Cutler way)

he seemed cool here but if he is ADIPO8, that's pathetic

Ask Stubbs what exercises he does for back. Seriously. Best back in bodybuilding.

Questions about judging for Bob to answer on PBW:

What is actually judged in Round 3? How do judges compare the competitors from their own memory during Round 3? (Example: Competitor Number One comes out and poses. Competitor Number 15 comes out and poses fourteen competitors later. There's an hour or so in between those two competitors being on stage.)

What is judged in the posedown? Are only the last mandatories of the top six judged? Does the actual "posedown" have any bearing on the scoring?

This should be a GREAT show , I am going to listen to this one.I am a major fan of ATL's own X man.
Ask him if he is doing the Ironman in 2008?

Just ask Toney straight up........Why didnt he use Palumbo for his olympia prep. When in the spring he used palumbo and recieved his best ever placing and condition.

This is a question EVERYONE wants to know the answer to.

240 is Back · « **Reply #17 on:** October 22, 2007, 05:31:27 PM »

Toney Freeman mystery illness?

Mystery illness before the O... loses 15 pounds overnight when prepping. odd black spots. anyone with experience in this area know what hit him?

Bast000 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 22, 2007, 05:32:24 PM »

Palpatine Q · « **Reply #23 on:** October 22, 2007, 05:38:38 PM »

He basically said "i overdid it with the diuretics" and it went right over Dan and bob's head

240 is Back · « **Reply #24 on:** October 22, 2007, 05:40:57 PM »

Wow... Freeman came right out and said he didn't even deserve 14th place.

Most pros wouldn't touch the issue, or would talk about how much higher they should have been. I don't think I've ever heard a pro admit they placed higher than they deserved. "I juist wanted to go home and watch the webcast"

Props to Toney. He's 41 and probably only has 2 more years to make his mark... top 3 arnold classic last year tho...
