Wenn man sich die bisherigen Absagen so anschaut dann sollte Kai Greene das Rennen machen.

Das Ronnie auf der Bühne da steht, glaub ich erst, wenn ichs sehe

wollte grad exakt dasselbe schreiben.
evtl ja noch gustavo aber der kann ja seit seinen jüngeren platzierungen auch nicht mehr als echter titelfavorit gesehen werden.
momentan würde ich auch auf kai green tippen, toney, branch und evtl melvin als potentielle bedrohungen.
naja wir wurden die letzten jahre auch echt verwöhnt, da manche wie dexter oder phil ja sogar zeitweise exklusiv bei der asc antraten.

Ich persönlich weiß nicht was viele an Toney Freeman finden. Ich finde ihm fehlt einfach etwas spektakuläres, kommt für mich nicht wirklich rüber.

wer kennt ihn nicht, wer hat sich leztes Jahr nichr für ihn mit gefreut, wir waren alle glücklich das dieser Mann auf der anderen Seite der Welt die Gold Hoffnung wahr gemacht hat.
Wer immer noch nicht weiss um wen es geht dem hilft eventuell dies hier
Matthias Steiner wird nun auch bei der ASC 09 auf der EXPO zusehen sein.
Die Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic fing als eine BB Veranstaltung an. Hat sich aber über die Jahre hinweck weiter und weiter entwickelt. Der Gründungsvater Arnold Schwarznegger zitat aus Pumping Iron "I was always dreaming about very powerful people - dictators and things like that. I was just always impressed by people who could be remembered for hundreds of years, or even, like Jesus, be for thousands of years remembered."
Arnold macht jeden Tag, nicht nur einen kleinen Schritt, sonderen seinen Schritt in die Richtung in die er gehen will und dies ist was Millionen von ihn überzeugt.

Ich tippe auf Toney oder Vic (wobei ichs ihm gönnen würde, vorallem nach dem Rückschlag)
27.12.2008, 11:52
Mr.Sonnenstrand
ist die Teilnahme von Victor Martinez wirklich schon sicher ??
würde ihm den Sieg nach dieser schweren Verletzung gönnen, bin da aber etwas skeptisch....
dürfte auf jeden Fall ein 3-Kampf werden: Martinez, Toney, Greene

Seminars
Victor Martinez’s passion for muscles started at an early age when he read comic books and spent a lot of time drawing super heroes with large muscles. The Incredible Hulk and wrestling’s Hulk Hogan were among his favorites to sketch.
As a teenager Martinez was always competing in sports such as baseball, basketball, football, and tennis. Weight training was an easy transition for him to make, and bodybuilding was the natural next step. By the age of 24 Martinez won his first amateur bodybuilding contest, six years later he won his first professional contest. He’s competed at the Arnold Classic four times, bettering his placing each time and in 2007 he won first place. Now he’s considered by many as the favorite to win the 2009 Arnold Classic.
Martinez took 2008 off from competition due to an injury to his knee he received while training. “It’s difficult to make a comeback after an injury. I had to change my training habits and restructure my workouts. I’m not afraid to try new creative things. I stay positive and know I’ll overcome the challenge,” Martinez said.
When asked what other sports going on at the Arnold Sports Festival interested him Martinez quickly admits he enjoys martial arts. “Successful bodybuilders and martial artists need the same high level of discipline,” he says. “I like watching (mixed martial arts fighters) Wanderlei Silva and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson because of the energy they have in the ring,” he added.
In his free time Martinez enjoys spending as much time as he can with his three children. They enjoy going on walks, trips to the zoo and the park, and eating ‘right’ together. His two sons are autistic and he recently announced his association with the Athletes Against Autism and the Cure Autism Now Foundation. “I like doing anything I can to help raise autism awareness. Someday I’d like to hold a bodybuilding event where all the proceeds go to autism research,” he said.
Martinez is also an entrepreneur. He’s opening a health food restaurant in his hometown of Edgewater, New Jersey called the Muscle Maker Grill. He says the idea came from going to restaurants and always having to explain how to prepare his food in a more healthful way. “Eating right changes everything. My restaurant will have tasty, healthy food, at an affordable price,” he said.
Martinez had some advice for those who sometimes find it hard to get off the couch and stay motivated to be fit. “At first set small obtainable goals, say to yourself today I’m going to do this, and do it. Getting a training partner can be the best thing to help keep you motivated and push you to do your best. Also, change up your workouts and cross train so your workouts stay interesting. Give it some time, like Arnold says, if you’re disciplined and put in the time you’ll see results.”
The Menace shares his chest routine and predictions for the Arnold Classic
According to Dennis James, when he steps on stage for prejudging at the 2009 Arnold Classic, he's going to look better than he has in over half a decade.
"My prep has been going great," he says. "I would say that this is the best prep than I've done so far. Even better than '03."
James is alluding to his career-best fourth place finish at the 2003 Olympia, but he hasn't competed at the AC since taking seventh at
the 2002 Columbus (Ohio) Classic. James finished third at the 2001 Arnold and fourth in the 2000 show. So where does he see himself fitting in to this year's jam-packed line-up?
"The top three, definitely."
While he'll have to contend with wispy-waisted, well-conditioned competitors like Silvio Samuel and Kai Greene, one area where DJ won't be overshadowed is his chest. Thick, wide and detailed, his pectorals leap out at the judges in nearly every pose from the front. Dennis credits his adherence to the basics and a stubborn insistence on slowing his rep speed down to really bring out every fiber.
"No fast movements," he says. "We want to squeeze hard at the top for a peak contraction and bring it back slow."
