Thoughts of the Arnold Amatuer

[mas1derful]

Has anyone here attended this show. I planned on doing the masters national level shows this year but dedicated my efforts to helping my fiancee prepare for the USA and nationals. She has injured her knee requiring surgery so it's all been lost. I turned 50 this year and honestly believe I could've won the overall in any of them. I don't want to wait til next summer and prep while she's prepping. I know the overall masters winner at the Arnold is also a IFBB qualifier. Do this show favor the international competitors? Looking at the results Americans don't do well there. Is this show tougher than the NPC shows or equal. Looking into the classic bodybuilding class also. Any thought on this show or just wait til the masters nationals?

Do you have any recent contest pics? I saw the 50+ guys backstage at master nationals and they looked damn good.

Based on the reports of the NPC master nationals it might be a good idea?
