I hope dexter wins. I'd like to see him win a major contest in the latter part of his career

i hope dexter wins too....but the trendy pick seems to be cedric mcmillian

kind of crazy that a board where everyone should want to look better doesn't have more comments on the second biggest bodybuilding contest of the year

Hidetada

[Young Gotti]

Hidetada

haha broken wrist but he's still competing....we'll see how that turns out

[criticalbench]

With dexter winning the masters olympia.. I think he will pull this off.

Mike

that list is interesting, as some of the bigger names dont seem to be competing. Dexter should win, but I am surprised others will not be on stage for this one

[artvandalay]

Is everyone waiting for the Olympia or what?

[Young Gotti]

Is everyone waiting for the Olympia or what?

it seems that way....phil and kai were obvious to not compete
branch had the quad injury that he competed with last year, probably wanted to rehab it fully
rhoden competed like 8 times last year, so he probably needed a break

but i have no answer as to why wolf or evan wanted to skip it....it's a big pay day and seems to be like the second tier show after the olympia

[DJBeanPole]

Any of you guys going to the Classic?

I think Evans still just trying to add size, his legs are a little lagging.

It is odd bigger names aren't here anymore. Has turned into a more "up and coming" show/expo

[rreppert1]

I might go, its only an hour from my house

[artvandalay]

Can you buy tickets for just the main event?

[AwhYeah]

No Kai Greene?

[Bigman4]

Branch is probably waiting to compete in the Olympia to be in the best shape possible since he's already won the Arnold before

[Young Gotti]

Can you buy tickets for just the main event?

i'm sure u can...every year i tell myself i'm gonna go and then it creeps up on me and i haven't gone yet

i'm pretty pumped for this season...about time its back, the off season is too boring

[njphysique]

I may go to the New York Pro since my division men's physique will be there again. My goal is to be at NPC USA's next yr as a competitor then on the IFBB stage!!!
