70 total NPC competitors registered. There were a few additions and those that dropped out of the IFBB Pro line up.Women - Gina Alotti decided to make her pro debut and there are 3-4 others that decided to compete. I will get the full line up later tonight.

No show men:
George Farah
Frank Roberson
Ahmad Haidar
Ed Van Amsterdam
JoJo Ntiforo

I believe one or two others may not have checked in. Kai Greene and Rodney St. Cloud showed up late to the meeting and nearly missed checkin. They were the only two additions to the men that I am aware of. Ken Jones expressed his displeasure that all men would not be doing their full routine. The top 15 will do their full routines the rest will receive 1 minute to do a routine. Ken Jones, "That's not right." To which Shawn replied, "Some shows the guys out of the top 15 don't do a routine at all. At the end of the day it's still a contest." Jones, "I hope it's judged fairly." It was rather comedic. Given the line up I don't think we'll be seeing Ken doing his full routine.

Gary Strydom's arms looking simply insane. If the rest of him look as shredded, look out 'cause he's a monster.

Off to prejudging of the NPC and the IFBB pro women.

A pic of Shawn and Gary for yall...

Gary certainly does look good.

This comeback trend is one of the only good things going for bodybuilding right now. Its a bit spice.

Big Bill Wilmore is ready!!! I also some other guys. This is going to be a great line up.

Lift Studios · « **Reply #9 on:** May 12, 2006, 08:08:34 PM »

This will be a tough top 5 and even 5-10 will be no joke.

Did Rusty enter?

Lift Studios · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2006, 10:35:34 PM »

No Rusty but there is Rodney St. Cloud & Kai Greene who apparently have something "interesting" in store for their routines tomorrow night.

LIFT, can you ask Shawn to just disqualify them now? You know it's going to be an embarassment to the show. Instead of talking about the terrific showdown, it'll be the Rodney-Kai story. And if anyone doesn't need a story about tri-sexual trysts, it's Shawn!

Ron · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2006, 10:50:32 PM »

240, don't be jealous, we can ask next time for you to join Rodney and Kai on stage

Anyway, the routines, which we saw a glimpse of it at the 2006 Ironman are entertaining, whereas some can consider it just dancing, others find it amusing. Both Rodney and Kai know they probably won't place in the top 5, so why not have some fun, and enjoy the show!

How do you get this kind of info, 240???

Lift Studios · « **Reply #16 on:** May 12, 2006, 10:53:26 PM »

They almost didn't get to compete for showing up late to the competitor's meeting. Seeing their routine in person was bizarre but it was more entertaining then many of the pros.

The story will still be about the line up - the top 5 is no joke. My money is on Phil Heath to still take this show. I'm curious to see Strydom - if his entire physique looks as good as his arms did today, it should be interesting.

Rodney casually mentioned it this morning after a very satisfying foot rub. I knew he was up to something. I ran into Kai at the bathhouse later and he acted very secretive.

I can read between the lines.
