Thanks Tim!

From that lineup, Darrem Charles or Victor Martinez looks to be the front runner. On the other hand, it is the NOC so maybe they will go for sheer mass.

That lineup is enormous, I wonder how long it's going to take to get through all the routines?

[PassionateBB]

Incredible women's lineup as well!!! I'm surprised Nancy Lewis is entered. Last I heard she was moving back here soon.

It would be awesome to see all those women onstage. Damn!

[Tim Wescott]

Craig Licker and David Dearth...............there`s a blast from the past!!

[Tim Wescott]

Ahmad Haidar .........first show of the year, if I`m not mistaken...........can`t take him lightly if the judges are wearing their glasses.

The guy is always spot-on !! :Muscleman:

[macattack]

No Ronnie?

[bodyfx]

I do not believe that Toney Freeman is entering this show.

My thoughts exactly! I wonder if Dearth still has the mullet?

Dearth was a FREAK in his prime... His legs were completely shredded & striated all year round. He lived in my town and I had a friend who worked with him at a health club. I remember my friend(who competes as well) told me that he went out to lunch to eat w/Dave at a "chicken house" & while my friend took all the skin off his chicken & ate clean, Dave basically tore the meat off of his chicken & ate mostly just the fried skin coating.. What a nut!

Excellent lists of men and women. Not all will compete.
Besides Toney Freeman, heard that Branch Warren was going to wait till fall and that Jablonicky was also doubtful. Looks like Jocelyn will be on stage, so I'll be there!! ;D

Darrem, Victor, Ahmad H and George Farah will be tough.
Glad to see Greg Rando on the list. This will be pro debuts for Chris Cook and Capriese Murray. Saw them when they guest posed at Metropolitans and they were both excited.

Women's list is also extremely competitive. Love Betty Pariso, so go Betty!! But she will have to be at her very best with Colette, Betty Viana, Fannie, Desiree and the others.

May have said this already, but anyone going should consider inquiring about tickets ASAP. Tribeca is not as big a venue as City Center or the Beacon so this may well be a sell out!
