Tonight on “Big Nation” radio, King Kamali’s long time friend and trainer, Jim Magnone, reported Shari is currently tipping the scales at 284lbs. King is seven weeks out from the 2008 IRONMAN Pro with hopes of getting a special invite to the Arnold Classic.

Lonnie “The Swami” Teper weighs all the competitors at a Friday night press conference. How much will King weigh on The Swami scale? Will King qualify for the Olympia by placing in the top five? Will he do well enough to receive a special invite to the Arnold Classic? We’ll have to wait and see.

The last time King was on the IRONMAN stage (2005) he weighed in at 254lbs and placed fifth. After the 2005 IRONMAN weigh-in, Ron Avidan reported: “King Kamali weighing in at 254 pounds raised some eyebrows, as this looks like his heaviest weight ever, and since King Kamali is very quiet the day before the show and hardly said anything, he may just surprise us yet.”
