The Arnold Classic is just about four weeks away and there’s growing talk around the water cooler and up in the cheap seats that’s concerning. It seems everyone in the peanut gallery is under the impression that Derek is way behind and had better start playing catch-up or he won’t have a shot of coming within striking distance of Samson Dauda. I, personally, don’t subscribe to these naysayers very much. It’s extremely common with this type of competition.
We can’t forget the Arnold Classic is the second biggest bodybuilding show on the roster and it is paying a whopping half million dollars to the top winner. It’s also going to be a situation where the reigning Mr Olympia will look his best outside of Vegas. He’s going to bring absolutely everything he’s got to win this title during the first and possibly one of many years he will have the top title in the sport. This is a very important competition for him. He has won the Arnold in the past and knows what needs to be done. Right now all eyes are on him by virtue of being the number one bodybuilder in the world. I can assure you that he is not taking anything lightly and that he is very much aware of Derek, Martin, and everyone else who may potentially take his title. Even though he is not the defending Arnold Classic champion, He is still very much someone to watch out for.
