What do you know about Lee withdrawing from the O??

 

[wnaskor]

Whats up with that?Why would a promanent bodybuilder withdraw?I would guess health reasons.

 

[mposster]

let be careul when we say weak....there are 10 veterans in that lineup and a quite a few new faces that i think will surprise alot of folks this year....alot of tight asthetic looks.....i would not say week,,,,just new comp.

What do you know about Lee withdrawing from the O??

I'd like to know more about that too.

The last thing i heard was that he was nursing a shoulder injury and didn't know if he was going to compete. I did just get an email that said the Alek Fedorov got a special invite. Not sure if any of you have been following him at all, but this dude is for real. Top 5 material if he comes in dry. 5'9" 290 on stage.

'm not saying that it's not a good field, but i just think that the pro ranks are looking a little thin right now. 5 more years and the new blood will have had enough time to get freaky, but right now...it's a Coleman, Cutler and Jackson show. I miss Nasser dammit!

 

[french tickler]

how about that russian federov guy... alexandr federov if i remember correctly... i heard somewhere he won a spot @ the O

Where did you get your info on Lee from? I can't seem to find anythinf on the net about it? I have an e-mail into him right now so I can get first hand info on it.

As far as Federov Flex Mag just made the big announcement about him being at the O.

One of the gym owners in Greenville has ties with one of Lee's sponsors. We were talking about the line up last month and he mentioned something about Lee tearing a delt tie in or something. Could be total BS, but i'll call him and see if he knows anything else. Fedorov is a freakin monster bro.

I hope your joking if you think this field looks week?
