Should be a great Arnold! Dexter, Gustavo, and Victor wil be very tough. And so is Chris in his best shape.
And can never rule out Darrem Charles.

Heard that rule was changed so top 6 qualify. Which is good, since many times someone already qualified will finish in the top range. Rooting for Mark and Art. But eill be interesting for sure!

Ms. International may set the standard for the rest pf the pro women's season. Based on the directive issued by IFBB for women to reduce their muscularity and hardness, the judging should be noteworthy.

[Tim Wescott]

It`s a real good lineup Gerry...............I think the Ms. International will be Collette Nelson`s pro debut, but I`m not positive on that!!

[GerryT]

Think you're right, Tim. Colette turned pro winning overall at North Americans. Far as I know, she has
not yet competed as a pro since.

True, all the lineups look toughand very competitive.

It does look like a good line up. Hope to be able to make it this year. I have a couple friends competing in the powerlifting side, and I think I may have to help with the bioPharm booth but its always a great show.

Dugdale top 3 i bet you!


and i am rooting for christine roth on the ladies side..

[GerryT]

Would love that, LC. From first time I saw Mark compete
I had a hunch he was a pro waiting to happen. Thrilled
for him that his time has come. And I know he will make the most of it.

He and Christina are two of the kindest, nicest people in the world. Truly could not happen to a greater guy.

Will the Arnold have the "new challenge round?"

[Jadethegladiator]

The 2005 Arnold is going to be a blast, can't wait! Last year, I went with my best friend Kelly.....she hooked up, I simply hung out, talked bb until the wee hours, got back to the room & she was already sleeping (she'd been there,done that, etc) I admit, I will be a musclehead 4-evah!

[Tim Wescott]

It`s in the blood baby.......once the "iron bug" bites,you`re always a musclehead! :Rocker Dude:

That is so true! I have been a tomboy since I was just a little girl & then I got bit by that d*mn bb bug at the age of 17. ;D

PS I wouldn't trade it for anything.

[GerryT]

Steve, pretty sure there will not be a challenge round in the Arnold. But that could change tomorrow.

Also heard (think on MM) that Colette will not do the Ms. International . She will wait till the NY Pro to give herself the necessary prep time.

[bodyfx]

Well, I'll be there with VPX, and it should be a great show as always!

[Intensity]

Cant wait to see that! Hope it will be a pay per view event again... did you heard something about that?

Is some of you going to the show?

My prediction:

1-Dexter
2- Chris
3- Lee
4- Victor
5- Melvin
6- Gustavo
(Cant believe i cant place Troy, Darrem or Mark in a top 6 )
