This years Arnold will be one of the best so far! Any picks for favorites to win. Will RJ win the 154 class? Can anyone beat Crazy George? Any predictions??

That is a good question Chris. Going by the old list here are my predictions:
154 - Will be some great matches. I have to go with Roman. Vazgen 2nd and RJ 3rd but maybe RJ will beat Vazgen going by what people have been saying about how hard he is training.
176 - George, then Allen, then Cobra.
198 - Hmm... I go with Chris Chandler. 2nd Brent Rakers... not really sure though.
Heavy's - John Brzenk wins. Man there are lots of heavyweight! Really anybody could take it though depending on who gets matched against who and how the competitors come in feeling! Maybe Richard will beat John again. But I'll say 1st John, 2nd Richard Lupkes, 3rd have to go with Ron Bath... have Tim Bresnan ad Ron ever pulled? Tim may get 3rd...
Ladies - not sure
Just my guesses, I mean, predictions. ;D

Josh,
RJ beat Vazgen twice at last years Arnolds, I'd say he has to beat RJ for second, not the other way around. IMO

Is Roman pulling? If so, I feel think he will be unbeatable.

You can find the list on usarmwrestling.com and it is a healthy list. There is qualified pullers, and a list of pullers waiting for visas and registrations. John has not yet registered. Is John pulling the Arnold this year?

Yep roman is on the list... 154 roman, rj, vazgen 176 george, allen fisher, cobra, simon 198 chandler, rakers, harris hvy bath, todd, marcio, bresnan....although if lupkes is healthy he could repeat.
brzenk isnt on the list but he did qualify.

Don, you do have a chance! You are super fast and powerful. Good bracket position could mean the whole difference. See you there!

I'm thinking Snook is going to suprise some people in the 176's. He may not win the whole thing but he will be up there. He's been pulling like a damn rampaging BEAST!

Josh, RJ beat Vazgen twice at last years Arnolds, I'd say he has to beat RJ for second, not the other way around. IMO Oh sorry I didn't know that. I'm still not sure who'll take 2nd and who takes 3rd, between those 2, either way would not surprise me, but I still think Roman will most likely win. You never know though. John has not yet registered. Is John pulling the Arnold this year? Sorry, I thought I saw his name, I guess I was wrong. In that case man I don't know I'll say Richard 1st, Ron 2nd, Tim 3rd and I think that will be the top 3 but it depends on how strong Richard is coming in at after being injured. Also I'm not counting out Michael Todd! I read on armpower.net that Denis Cyplenkov is coming, but he is not on the registered list, just the qualified list. If he goes I say he wins, only Lupkes could beat him and only if Rich is as strong or stronger than he was when he got injured! JMO. And no Chris Chandler, then I'll say Brent Rakers wins... hopefully Razor gets 2nd (Steve Rau)!
