I think this is Gustavo´s year...

Looks like this ones for Martinez.

cormier wont be giving that up very easily, 5 times runner up now. i think he wants it more than anyone.

JonnyO · Jan 4, 2005

Cormier may want it yes, but wanting it and doing it are two different things. He wrote in his column all last year before the Arnold and O how hard he was working and be his all time best, but when his trainer Charles Glass writes in his column last month that Cormier didnt give it all %110 percent in the gym and had some personal issues I have to question. I'm sure he will place top 3 this Arnold but I doubt will beat Victor if Vics on that day. I like Cormier and had him or Dexter to win the Arnold last year but there's some hungry new blood moving in fast. Gustavo Badell is one to watch for too, hopefully he can keep his gut in check and he'll be a force to recon with.

Anyone know the reason Jay is not doing the Arnold?

bigcmonster · Jan 5, 2005

I talked to Jay via email, He will be at the Arnold Classic just
not in the line up! He'll be at the MuscleTech booth!

opinion

I say between Gustavo and Dex, martinez 3rd, and watch out for Dugdale, its up in the air with him since its his 1st pro show

I don't think Cormier will get there with Dex and one or two others probably hitting it better than him. It's a shame, I'd like to see him get it. Shame what Charles Glass says too of Chris C not giving it his all in the gym and the issues. When I met him (briefly) 4 years ago he seemed to be an introverted man - until it was time to hit the night club. IronMike

I think Dexter Jackson will finally get his due and take the contest.

Gustavo is over-rated in my opinion; I see Victor Martinez as a bigger threat given that he comes in condition.

Made all my plans already!

I think it will be Dex's show unless Cormier gets his act totally together and finally wins this thing!!!

Yeah I gotta agree with Vander completely. Art has alot of mass but funny lines to his physique. No way.

he emailed me back and I asked him why he wasnt doing the Arnold and he said he wanted to focus completely on the O and beat Ronnie before he retires. He says hes back to training twice a day, he sounds very motivated.
