Who's heading to the Arnold Classic this weekend??

**kaberle_15** · 03-05-2009, 10:16 PM

Any of you guys going to go this weekend? I'm flying down tomorrow but I've got to go really early because customs says Obama is flying to Columbus tomorrow and they are closing air space from 930am till like 2 or 3pm. If anyone hasn't been there before I would recommend it if you have the chance, it's pretty cool to walk around the expo and watch the competitions.

I'm getting dwn abt 1130-12...
Its gonna be interesting to see if the crowd is the same with the economy and all..In recent yrs the supps co' stopped handing out alot of stuff..8-10 yrs ago I'd come back with bags and bags of free stuff...Prolly a good 3-weeks to a months supply of protein bags, bars and etc...Although I only go to Expo maybe 1 yr I'll go to Competition..

I thought Gary Player was a better golfer so i shall give it a miss...

Samn with the Olympia, the Expo is always better than the show itself (and a hell of a ot cheaper too)

**GusInc** · 03-06-2009, 01:21 PM

I'm gonna be there on saturday
My friends want me to go with them since I'm the big guy for them

**RuhlFreak55** · 03-06-2009, 01:31 PM

**johnnybigguns** · 03-06-2009, 02:11 PM

Dexter is not in the line-up, T Freeman, K Green and S Samuel would be considered the favorites.

**BuffBuffalo** · 03-07-2009, 11:59 AM

Uhhhh what about Victor?

***FireGuy*** · 03-07-2009, 12:00 PM

Victor should be up there as well, be interesting to see what he looks like after the injury and layoff.

***FireGuy*** · 03-07-2009, 12:02 PM

From what I have read about the prejudging Victor is definately top 3 with Green and Freeman.

***FireGuy*** · 03-07-2009, 12:07 PM

Sounds like Branch Warren is in the running for top 3 as well. Latest has Kai Green kicking some major a$$ in prejudging.

***FireGuy*** · 03-07-2009, 12:24 PM

Prejudgin just ended, Green, Martinez and Warren top 3, no particular order. Freeman 4th I believe.

**BgMc31** · 03-07-2009, 01:04 PM

The Arnold Strongman is going on now. It's interesting to see who wins it this year, since Big Z (Zydrunas Savickas, 5 time winner) isn't there this year. Plus reigning 5 time WSM winner Mariusz Pudzianowski isn't there either. Favorites are the Russian Mikial Koklyeav (sp?) and American and WSM runner up Derrick Poundstone. Misha is currently 1st and Pounstone 2nd.

***FireGuy*** · 03-07-2009, 06:37 PM

Night show going on now, resourceful people can watch a webcast live if you know where to look!

**Hoggage_54** · 03-07-2009, 07:49 PM

Kaberle.... We coulda had a first round pick and Jeff Carter for you!!!!!

**firmechicano831** · 03-07-2009, 08:03 PM

I think green will take it.

**firmechicano831** · 03-07-2009, 08:35 PM

any one have stats on the results?

**jbm** · 03-08-2009, 12:00 AM

freeman or green.

**stpete** · 03-08-2009, 04:14 AM

If you're able to hang around till Sunday afternoon you can get supps for practically nothing. They're just unloading them at that point.

**CMPD213** · 03-08-2009, 08:15 AM

Kai Greene is 2009 Arnold classic winner

***FireGuy*** · 03-08-2009, 10:27 AM

1-Green, 2-Martinez, 3-Warren, 4-Freeman.

**Brown Ninja** · 03-08-2009, 11:18 AM

suprising. I figured Victor for sure

**firmechicano831** · 03-08-2009, 11:39 AM

Kai Green has always impressed me which is why I thought he might win. Also because I knew Victor wouldn't be at his best due to his injury.

The effect of his knee injury was pretty still pretty visible, less size, sweep and detail on his left quad.

You can thank John jr. for that with his no-trade clauses. Anways the Arnold was fun like always and Kai Green won. I can't wait for the Olympia in September, Vegas is much better than Ohio
