[AestheticG0d]

Damn the Open is stacked! Eager to see what Beyeke, Cedric, Evan, Pakulski and Marius bring. Pretty much know Dexter/Branch will come in conditioned. 212 seems like it's an easy win for Jose, was hoping to see Baito in this.

[bartosh]

Men's Open has a crazy competitive lineup:
Centopani, Beyeke, Roelly, McMillan, Compton, Jackson, Pakulski*. Dexter will likely win but after that...? It's a tossup

Early top 3 prediction, no order. Heart says Compton with the win, common sense says DJ
Dexter
Compton
Centopani


*Wouldn't mention pak but he always places well somehow

[jahaa]

My early top 3 in no order:

Dexter
Cedric
Compton

[sekosan]

My early top 3 in no order:

Dexter
Cedric
Compton

Yes, i think so... But i wonder Jason Compton how is

[stealth_swimmer]

Can't wait to see how Compton shows up!

That being said, I'll be routing for Dexter to break the record.

[endurancell]

Pretty stacked line up however I don't think Compton will place over Evan. Dex and Cedric are definitely 1,2 in no order. I think Roelly and Pak and possibly even Brandon Curry will be somewhat improved and look good but Branch will most likely be in top 4 regardless

[BartPimpson]

Holy sh*t, this can't be happening! AN ACTUAL GOOD LINEUP AT THE ARNOLD!

A mixture of dark horses who we haven't seen in a while (Lionel, Brandon, Pakulski), some regulars (Evan, Dexter, Branch), and some new talent (Compton and Vitaley). Pretty excited to see what they look like.

This will be Toney Freeman's 9th Arnold Classic.

[Frozenarcticguy]

No Wolf or Kai? At least this will be an interesting line up rather than the one two years ago. Can't wait to see how Justin does

[BartPimpson]

We'll probably never see Kai do another Arnold Classic. It's just not a show you normally do when you're at his level.

Other than Dexter, it's been four years since a Mr Olympia competed at the AC...and fourteen years since someone won the AC and Olympia back to back.

[MrDeafMuscle]

212 is pretty much worthless to do unless you are in the top 2 consistently or have sponsors/bank. Only $22k for first place when you work as hard as those in the Open. But I guess they are always welcome to join the Open if they can hold their own against bigger guys. Oh well.

[PaLftr]

Rooting for Cedric and Evan to do well.


Cedric to win.

[TheJizzle]

212 seems like it's an easy win for Josse.

No.

[Unbiasedfan]

[deathmetal1992]

stacked lineup

1.Dexter
2.Justin
3.Roelly


inb4 Cedric and Lionel goof their conditioning.

[AestheticG0d]

No.

OH didn't see Correa in the 212, could go either way IMO.

[Oirad77]

Thats a tough one

[lotus_esprit5]

OH didn't see Correa in the 212, could go either way IMO.

Yeah that was my first thought but Jizzle beat me to it. Should be a good fight for 1 and 2.

For the Open, I look forward to seeing how Compton does in this line-up. Branch and Dexter will almost certainly beat him, maybe Centopani too. Then you have a handful of guys who could potentially beat him if they show up in great shape, but are inconsistent enough that he could very well place ahead of them: Cedric, Roelly, Beyeke, Curry.

I'm surprised Kuclo isn't competing.

[bartosh]

Think branch could replicate his olympia showing?

[TheIronAsylum]

Ced all day

[GYMnasticBOXING]

1 compton
2 winklaar
3 mcmillan
honestly dont think dexter has the chance hes a great competitor but i think his time is up, compton has made some huge improvements and a huge overall build winklaar and mcmillan will be the overall largest guys on stage but knowing the judges mcmillan is going to get horrible placing but either way the show looks stacked and best of luck to all competitors

How is his time up when he's consistently still top 5 in the olympia and beats everyone else in the lineup? Zero logic

calm down there buddy hes still a great competitor and still has a chance of winning but hes getting old and clearly doesnt have much time left he is starting to fade slightly but all the best of luck to him

[nathangreen]

Calm down there buddy, you have no prove of that at all. Who cares if he's not 100% or has some flaws. He still as of recent destroys most of the IFBB and thats the only predictor we have.

yah your right hes the only previous mr.o on that stage im not taking anything away from him, but im still allowed to have my own opinion correct? just as i respect yours

Sure I suppose. I was moreso responding to the "his time is up" comment. Which recent results aren't indicative of. Just think its to early to say he's done for before he has one bad placing

he has plenty of time left 5 years maybe+ im sure he wont be out of the top 10 at the mr.o for years to come but how old is he like 45 or something ? im unsure, simply stating hes a older competitor and theres a few younger guys who have the opportunity to surpass him at the moment but he still has a chance of winning, thats all

[tom11]

Really hope Roelly shows up in good condition, he has the potential to be the freakiest guy in that lineup. And I really doubt Cedric will win it as his past is shady as fuk:
