And the first "official" competitor here is Toney Freeman.

One of my new Favorite poses! FIBO IN 5 wks #leggo

[pakiman]

He has not shown that crisp & dry condition on stage this year... needs to leave the tan behind and just use posing oil, IMHO!

More random Toney pics before the FIBO:

Toney guest posed in New Zealand as well as Kai. Here are his latest pics. Remember he is a few weeks out from the FIBO in Germany:

The FIBO Power lineup is starting to firm up with Johnnie Jackson and Toney Freeman up there. Both Jackson and Freeman have been training in Arizona under IFBB Pro Dennis James' guidance.
Let's see how these to men do against each other as well as against the rest of the invites.
The list is as follows:

Cedric McMillan Headed to FIBO

In a surprising announcement, Cedric McMillan has decided that his spring season is not over. He will be competing at the FIBO Power Championships on April 14 in Cologne, Germany, and may possibly do at least one more show before spring turns to summer.
Until now, the favorites for top spots consisted of Johnnie Jackson (last year's winner), Ronny Rockel, Toney Freeman, Ed Nunn, and Robert Piotrkowicz. Many have speculated that the most likely outcomes are either Johnnie repeating, or Toney edging him out. Cedric McMillan changes the entire dynamic. He's tighter now than he was at the Arnold, and a Big Mac in the type of condition we all want to see from him would be deadly. But what led him to this decision?

"First off, after I got my ass beat at the Arnold, I said I'm doing the Arnold Brazil. I can't go out like that," Cedric told me. "Second, I still need to qualify for the Mr. Olympia. And third, I gotta do this for my family. I gotta make some money for them, they put up with a lot with all this bodybuilding stuff and they deserve it."

Cedric's contest prep has never stopped. "I've stuck to my diet, going real low on carbs; and I've been killing the cardio." His condition kept improving, especially in terms of quad separation and striations in the glutes and hams. "All the **** people wanted me to take off, it's been coming off," he said. Then last week, after returning from an appearance in Paris for Sci Tec at a fitness expo, he sent some progress pics to his coach Chris Aceto. In spite of holding some water from the flight back from France, Aceto saw significant changes. They spoke recently about the possibility of entering the FIBO Power show. Finally, today Cedric pressed Chris for an answer, as the entry deadline is tomorrow.

"Let's do it, you can win," Aceto told McMillan. "Plus, he said, going into the Arnold Brazil with a win puts you in really good position."

I asked if Cedric was also contemplating a return to the New York Pro to possibly repeat for a win, even though Victor Martinez seems to be the favorite in many people's minds. "Honestly, I can't even think about New York right now," he stated. "That's way too far away for me to worry about. One thing at a time. Win the FIBO show, win the Arnold. That's it."

few more pics of Cedric at 6 days out

[mvsf1]

Looking forward to Daniel Toth. The guy was HUGE... not much updates about him... he might be the underdog xD

[nccsa186]

Do you know if there will be a webcast of the Bodybuilding finals? I'm in Texas and I really want to see it!

[pakiman]

First of all, DAMN Cedric is looking FLAT/OFF and that kind of OFF cannot be turned around in a months time let alone 6 days! He looks like he is taking advice from Sibil and not Chris!
I am saddened even more to learn that he has to do this show because of monetary problems... that saddens me more than seeing the way he looks right now!

Secondly,@ MVSF1; are you serious? You looking forward to seeing Daniel Toth? The guys NEVER going to amount for much in the Pro ranks! NEVER! EVER!
