I can see most of those placings happening, but Dugdale will be ahead of Henry; Dexter will place either first or second; Heath will get a top 3 placing; and I don't see Gustavo placing higher than Freeman....

Branch from 2nd all the way to 9th?

Also not sure Dex will fall to 3rd.

Alas, everyone can have their opinion.

My guess:

1.   Victor Martinez
2.   Phil Heath
3.   Dexter Jackson
4.   Toney Freeman
5.   Branch Warren (depends what condition he's in...needs to be spot on to place here)
6.   Marcus Ruhl    (here if nails it, lower if puffy or watery in rear poses)
7.   Ronnie Rockel  (would love to see him top 5 if he is in condition.  Awesome BBer IMO)
8.   Gustavo Badell
9     Mark Dugdale
10.   Silvio Samuel
11.   David Henry
12.   Hidetada Yamagishi

wasn't Ronnie coleman the only Mr O that did two shows in one year and win both of them? I believe it was in 2001 when he won the Arnold classic, and later The Mr O

Can't the returning champ get a bit more benefit of the doubt? I'd say 40-40-20 for Vic, Phil, and Dex respectively

any shots of heath's current condition?

i wonder how much bigger he got from last year...anyways, unless he comes in 15lbs heavier with the same (if not better) conditioning then last years Colorado or NY pro...then i don't see him beating victor.

dexter has third in the bag

Lee--throw in yourself at top condition (06 ironman or better), and judged by yourself, who takes it now?

Dexter Jackson will no longer be sponsored by Met-Rx. True.

So let me get this straight...

 The NEXT companyhe signs with...my guess is B$N or Gaspari. He'll write in his 'Q&A' that he uses their products and always have used their 'protein powder' and his success at the ASC was a direct result of 'BRAND X' supplements, right?

 Why does my Spidey-Sense tingle to make me believe that his MD contract is on thin ice as well?

As much as I like Met-RX, they've been trying to go more mainstream (and succeeded at it), would serve both parties better if Dex would go with a Gaspari or a VPX...

I don't see why people think Vic is so great. I

3" & 30lb at right place...

I like 'em both but Vic has the right structure and rumor is that he filled the holes in his physique and is belly round all over (exept the waist course).

When you take "criminal record" out of the equation, Vic is quite the potential Ronnie like sucessor...


STFU, I was off season and eating a lot wedding cakes.

1.   Dexter Jackson - Why the negative pub all of a sudden?
2.   Victor Martinez - Better structure than 3 and more mature muscle than 4
3.   Gustavo Badell - 3 or 4
4.   Phil Heath - Give him credit.  His body responds to gear almost as good as Shawn's did back in the day.
5.   Toney Freeman - Improving at 40.
6.   Marcus Ruhl - Give a spot to a mass monster and keep the hardcore fans happy.   

Shawn and Priest in the past have said the judges have their minds made up based on previous showings. A couple of guys will get robbed if they are thinking Heath.  I'm sure he looks good with the xtra 10lbs of muscle.  I guess some guys have seen him already but bbers always look super standing alone aka Dennis James.

Two-time returning champ THIRD?

Wow, that would mean Vic does what Vic hasn't been able to do consistently (come in dry and not fat) and Heath will have to overcome a grainier Dex despite his chest weakness.

Would be history, that's for sure.
