2010 ARNOLD CLASSIC: STAFF PREDICTIONS


DAVE LEE, DEPUTY EDITOR
1. Dexter Jackson
2. Phil Heath
3. Kai Greene
4. Branch Warren
5. Toney Freeman
6. Melvin Anthony

DAVE SAYS: Following his disappointing third place finish at the '09 Mr. Olympia, Jackson's pride and competitive nature all but guarantee that he'll be in the shape of his life and outside of Warren, no other competitor in this lineup has beaten him. Heath's superior genetics and added size should keep him ahead of both Greene and Warren.

5. Toney Freeman
6. Melvin Anthony

SHAWN SAYS: As high as the stakes are for everyone competing this weekend, I think they're highest for Heath. After his false start at the 2009 Mr. O, this should be the show where he finally shows us his best form. Jackson and Greene are a tossup — incredible shape (Jackson) vs. incredible mass (Greene). Conditioning will tell the difference. Despite Warren's impressive size and granite-like condition his structure doesn't match that of the guys in the top three.

Ok
ZACK ZEIGLER, ONLINE EDITOR/STAFF WRITER

ZACK SAYS: This is a tough one. On any given night, the competitors on this list could claim the top spot in any contest. However, I recently spoke with Jackson, and his confidence made me a believer. He wants his fourth Arnold Classic title, and I think he is going to get it. Had I had spoken with Heath, Greene or Warren... the list very well could have had a different person in the No. 1 slot.

Heres Kai Greene 2 weeks out squatting... Pretty crazy considering he just started squatting 5 plates 2 weeks prior and during precontest.

Thats 6 plates?

EDIT: dont mean to make a retarded comment but Phil and Dexters faces look fuller then usual.... hope there on. Kai's face looks full aswell but not as full as at the Olympia.

Sorry I just lost all interest in anything else in this thread. I don't care who wins just as long as it involves a pillow fight, a large bed, some slow motion video footage and these chicks in lingerie.
