If Toney Freeman comes in anywhere near the shape he was in for the O, he shouldn't have any trouble with this line up.

...but if Victor Martinez comes in his 2007 Olympia condition, its going to be hard.
Im cheering for Toney though.

It's a hot line up. I reckon these two will probably fight it out. Hopefully Victor is fully recovered from his injury.

lets not forget kai in the mix, if he brings those improvements he made last year with the same condition that we have come to expect then we will have one helluva battle on our hands!

No Phil Heath?

Im a huge fan of this guy since his '08 olympia appearance.
Love his physique and can't wait to see him in person!
Toney @ 290lbs, 6 weeks out:

Victor Martinez also 6 weeks out:

I thought Dennis Wolf would be in the AC..?

Me 2 union mate , but i don't think the AC favours bodies like his.

Toney @ 290lbs, 6 weeks out:

Incredible look....... an apparently tiny waist, proportionately..... for mine, a real BBers physique.

Fark, sitting at 290lbs and shredded, looks awesome.

A hernia operation canceled Dennis' plans for the Arnold.

Id say that the AC would definently favour towards Dennis' physique, Denj.

He is the closest to perfecting the twisting back shot (IMO) that Arnie created, and he would appreciate that.

would the judges but? I mean from my perspective they tend to like physiques like dexters, a more classic look, i think dennis would be 2 big now

Victors distension has gotten bad.

I think with the new direction with Dex as MR O this will go against him..

Go Toney I say.....
