Look for Garret Downing and Jeff Long to have a decent placing.
And Yours?

 

[BigBazooka]

Chris wins, that's for sure, but damn I hope Lee gets it together this time.

 

[BigBazooka]

BTW havoc, did Chris Cormier juice?

 

[havoc]

No he does not, his secret is the Adkins diet with supersets between the Bowflex and Ab rocker.

 

[WODIN]

Agree on Cormier and Dennis James.

I like Quincy Taylor though over Lee Priest.

 

[havoc]

Good thoughts Wodin- I agree actually, but then I thought, would they give a rookie a placing over a veteran? We'll see. Quincy being the tallest and heaviest, Lee being the shortest and one of the lightest.

 

[WODIN]

Depends on how popular Quincy is and how much promo milage his backers think he has. Afterall, any sport that has a judging standard has politics out the ying-yang!

 

[The Shadow]

Cormier
Dennis James
Priest
Quincy Taylor
Ernie Taylor

Assuming everyone is at their best. If Cormier is off like at the Olympia, look for James or Priest to slip into 1st or 2nd.
