why is kamali not entering? anychance he realised that he absolutely sucks?

[Carlos_E]

Cause he knows it was a fluke he qualified and he'd get his ass spanked!

[Foskamink]

Cause he knows it was a fluke he qualified and he'd get his ass spanked!

poor reason

[Timm1704]

Cause he knows it was a fluke he qualified and he'd get his ass spanked!

well, that was my second guess, but i hear he likes spanking

[perfectbeast2001]

I thought priest was going to enter. I heard he may bot be allowed due to him taking part in that new rival show.

[need2Bbig]

it should be interesting

[Carlos_E]

I thought priest was going to enter. I heard he may not be allowed due to him taking part in that new rival show.

Lee Priest is suspended from the IFBB pending a hearing for competing in a non IFBB show. He won the PDI Night of Champions.

[Carlos_E]

A few who I think can shake things up:

Dexter Jackson
Victor Martinez
Branch Warren
Melvin Anthony (heaviest he's been and Chad is doing his prep)

A few I'm wondering how they will place:

Dennis James (if he hasn't screwed up the last week of prep)
Johnnie Jackson
David Henry (since he's a smaller guy)

[24labor]

I like phil heath too bad what about chris cook? And we can't forget the biggest hype of last year Federov lol

[Carlos_E]

what about chris cook?

Chris "The Blond Bomber" Cook got fast tracked to a pro card because of his looks. He has not done well as a pro. He got 15th (last place) at the Arnold Classic. Hell, David Henry got 11th and he is half Chris' size.

I am listening to a chad nichols interview on Muscle radio on the net right now and chad is saying that victor's conditioning is downright sick and should be the best in show.

[24labor]

I'm suprised Dex is even comming back if coleman is still in. After he was robbed from his AB/Thigh pose to Ron I thought he'd wait til ron left and then come back

[1buffsob]

It's a shame about Priest. I really like that cat. When did he get suspended Carlos?

It's a shame about Priest. I really like that cat. When did he get suspended Carlos?

He was suspended last week after he did The PDI show.

"Lee Priest and Valentin Jabes have both been suspended, effective immediately, for violation of rule 1.7 of the IFBB rules (competing in a non-sanctioned competition)."

[Merchant_of_Death412]

bs he just gettin paid cuz ifbb wont pay em. man nds ta grub n liv somwher

That's a shame. He had to know the IFBB would be pissed. Priest has always been a rebel. I'm sure he knew it was against the rules.

[Carlos_E]

Noticed in the letter to Lee Priest they CCed all IFBB members. It's a scare tactic so others don't compete in non IFBB shows.

[Carlos_E]

I read he's going to sue the IFBB.

There are rules against AS use that's not enforce and the IFBB code of conduct (appearing in porn) is not enforced either. Yet they enforce article 1.7.

I just saw that. What bullshit. I think Priest will have a good case against the IFBB. Although, I don't like the fact that it may bring attention to the AAS rule. Unwanted publicity for the sport.

[Carlos_E]

I know the other guy who got suspended. This is Valentin. He's from NYC.

[RuhlFreak55]

who's that Bautista guy that beat ruhl at the Sustanna???

[Carlos_E]

who's that Bautista guy that beat ruhl at the Sustanna???

Francisco (Paco) Bautista is built like a tank and known for his legs. He's from Barcelona. He's 5'8".

The pictures are from 2005 Pro Show in NYC.

[Carlos_E]

[1buffsob]

Damn, Bautista has some potential. I've never seen him before. Looks real good. Legs are insane. Traps are disproportional though. Just like me.

[PROTEINSHAKE]

[Carlos_E]

his legs are insane!!!! hams/quads are the best I've seen. WOW.
