With a star filled line-up, the 2006 Arnold Classic will be one that will be remembered for a long time to come. The returning champion Dexter Jackson will be competing to regain his title.

I think dexter jackson is going to take it all at the arnold his phyisque is incredible. I really think he could have won the olympia if he would have competed

I know dexster is going to win it ,because he took off from the O last year to focus on the Arnold Classic this year.

Dexter is definetley going to place very well, and while I do believe that he may win, I cannot count out Lee Priest. While his past has been a bit rocky, he seems to be back into the full swing of things with the Iron Pro. I honestly hope he comes in just as conditioned, and with the same composure as well as conditioning. I believe that extra confidence may give him the boost he needs to rule the stage. However, I cannot count out Martinez!

He took off a year because he just signed with Met-rx and he didn't want his placing in the Olympia to be associated with Muscletech since that was his last supplement sponsor. If you remember after his Arnold Classic win, Muscletech printed a ton of ads with him and their products associating the win and Muscletech so people still remembered Dexter with Muscletech up until he was at the Olympia Expo in the Met-rx booth.

Hey,
If anyone is interested in two tickets to the Classic, email me at ryan_swan@hotmail.com... I was supposed to have my two friends here with me, but they didn't end up coming, so we have two tickets for the mens bodybuilding finals section L5 Row E Seat49 and 51 ( they are beside each other)... They are 75.00 each ticket (which is what we paid for them).

I'm thinking Jackson, Priest, Badell, Martinez, and Warren to round out the top five. Cormier just looked way too off at the O

Bonus Question: Yeah, I've been to the Arnold Classic Expo in 2003. I had a great time but it was way too crowded. It was hard to move or stop and talk to people in the booths. That stuff doesn't usually bother me but it did this time. Other than that though, it was amazing!

DEXTER is gonna win it!!!

Ricky121 · 02-26-2006, 01:22 PM

I believe Gustavo Badell is going to be the victor this year. Gustavo is really working hard in order to be the champion, as displayed in The Mr. Olympia, in which he placed 3rd in, just under Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler. Wait a second......Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler are not competing in the Arnold! Therefore, I believe Gustavo Badell has the body, motivation, and genetics to dominate the competition at the 2006 Arnold.

RippedJordanian · 02-26-2006, 02:57 PM

why arent ronnie and jay competing

BladeMaster · 02-26-2006, 04:27 PM

hmmm good question...probably because they compete in Olympia and they cant do both
