Should be the 14th. It would be more romantic.

Jeff is correct Arnold is always last week of February/first  week of March  ,cold AF in Ohio.
Competitor’s list is based on invitation and usually out in December ,not much time to get ready if someone is fat.

I like this it was kind of boring when the Olympia champion only did one show a year. It felt like the champ just always won. The year Ronnie did the show in Texas where Gunter beat him created a lot more excitement. Like let's see what some other judges think. Now that the prize money is so good at the Arnold it makes sense for the Mr O to do the Arnold. March and October are far enough apart they can peak twice and not hurt their showing.

Respect. He's built different. It's gonna look really bad on the other Mr. Os if he keeps winning Olympias and other shows. Lol

A lot of bright eyed and bushy tailed optimism flying here.  They won't want to dethrone the olympia winner unless they absolutely have to.

There’s been rumors about how old he really is and that he’s older than he claims. But Fouad said on his podcast that he’s 38. So he’s gonna be 39 soon gotta do this while he still can.

I heard he is 39 too....( he looks that age too)

Funny how John Romano has no problem saying the reign of Samson has begun ...

But says no way Chris Bum" will be back from retirement ever again ! lol...  when C Bum is not even 30 years old yet, so he can literally comeback in 10 years and still be around same age as Samson now (If he is really 38).

WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH

Arnold "had it" by age 26 with 5 Olympias in the bag  and just wasn't interested in another Sandow ....

he did 1975 for the money and the exposure the movie Pumping Irom was set to have ...... and 5 years later did the 1980 and won it one more time at age 33 .......

That's potentially 10 Sandows and still younger than Dauda


WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
