Dennis James enters the 2009 New York Pro

Dennis James is set to throw down at the New York Pro on May 16, 2009 at Tribecca Performing Arts at BMCC. James, who barely missed an Olympia qualification after a seventh place finish at the '09 Arnold Classic, is eager to get down in New York.

"Now that I'm recovered from my bout with bronchitis [James got bronchitis two weeks prior to the Arnold -- see related story below], I'm ready to turn it up for New York," James said.

Last year, James finished eighth at the O and runner-up at the Europa Super Show and the Tampa Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships with a sleeker than normal physique.

"I like the way my physique looks right now," James said. "I'm planning on coming in at around the 248-253 range. I still carry a lot of size and have good lines at that weight."

We'll see how the Menace fares against the likes of '09 Arnold Classic champ, Kai Greene, '09 Ironman Pro champ Silvio Samuel and others scheduled to compete at Steve Weinberger's New York Pro on Saturday, May 16, 2009 at Tribecca Performing Arts at BMCC.

kai's doing this show too? wow. this could be a huge year for him. if dennis comes in right he could be top 3. the man has a tremendous upper body from the front

^ I don't think Kai will do the show, at least from his last interview with Shawn Ray, he said (not sure though, as he's responding in riddles i could say), that his next presence on stage will be at the Olympia.

resonding in riddles lol. sounds like kai. i would think he would focus his efforts on the olympia with all the momentum he has right now. he is well in the mix for top 3 honors there.

Great news. Dennis actually didn't look all that bad at the Arnold.

Any news about Ronnie?

Nice to see DJ do more shows
Even thought I think around 250 is to much for him still..I really liked the look he had when he was closer to 240

He should do more. He usually places really well in most shows other than the Olympia.
