Victor Martinez, Phil heath, Freeman. Based on the past year it will be a battle between those three imo.
Victor Martinez is a good bet. I think Branch Warren could be the dark horse and take the title as well.

If Dave Henry competes I think he is going to suprise alot of people. I don't think he is going to win though. I would like to see Branch Warren win. Then maybe Victor in 2nd followed by Dexter. With Heath coming in 4th.

Everyone is focusing on Martinez, meanwhile Warren is flying quietly under the radar.

It'll be great to see who does what. But I'm a Branch fan.

Dexter Jackson's physique and conditioning is through the roof. I agree that I was surprised as well as others when Branch won the most muscular award but I still give the overall to Dexter. Can't wait to see the WSM qualifier too.
Rühl will smash then all!! God Damn I love that Man.
Victor-Phil-Branch-Freeman
It shall be a battle..... And freeman is finally getting his due respect in the callouts and whatnot....Can't wait to see what he brings!

I would like to see Phil Heath win since he lives in Colorado where I do.
I saw the tape of last year's Arnold and it was so obvious that Branch Warren was the best.I mean he won most muscular the night before and he was so vascular and ripped. What the fuck.

Victor first. Branch 2nd and Heath 3rd
Martinez has bested Dexter many times, but the arnold is dex's show. I mean, he diets to take the arnold, and the olympia is an afterthought. Consider that Martinez beats these other guys both directly and indirectly every year. Branch, Heath, and Freeman are all contenders, and it will be good to see how they place, but martinez has shown himself to be the better body. The best next to cutler and ron, he should destroy the competition if he brings his game. However, I fucking love Ruhl, and if he wins, I will mail him a beer. Hell, I may just mail him a beer anyways.

I would love to see Branch and Ruhl place highly because they fucking amazing but I think the show will probably go like this:
Victor
Dexter
Branch
Heath
Ruhl or Freeman

It's a matter of balance. Branch is just a bit bottom-heavy, regardless of his phenomenal conditioning and upper-body muscularity. Give him a little time.

Dexter Jackson or Victor Martinez will probably win it. I think Johnnie Jackson is a pure beast but he gets no props from the judges. Hopefully Branch Warren will make an impact.

My top 10 prediction:
Branch Warren
Victor Martinez
Dexter Jackson
Phil Heath
Gustavo Badell
Marcus Ruhl
Vince Taylor
David Henry
Mark Dugdale
Tony Freeman
I wish Johnie Jackson was competing he is one of my favorites, its to bad he withdrew.
I wanna see a guy like Ruhl place well.
David Henry I think will be the most shredded guy in the competition.
I am pulling for Branch Warren big time.

I gotta say that if victor comes in the way he did at the olymipia this past year he will win unless dexter puts on a few more pounds and brings out some more sharpness in his quads, then he may win. Phil Heath will most likely get third or maybe even second, I wouldn't be suprised, the guy has the best tri's hands down.

I have to say that I don't think Dex looked that good at the O. Compared to some of the others and to his AC appearance. I think the extra few pounds took away from his conditioning a little too much. His conditioning MAKES him. But he seems to shine at the AC for sure.

I see alot of predictions for Heath, Vic, and Dex.....
Don't sleep on Freeman... If Tony brings his A game he stands to do very well, he brings a NASTY overall package. I think Vic will be top 2 and I see Tony freeman being in the top 6.
Respect,

I'd like to see Freeman or Heath win, Heath is a cool guy in person and he looks incredible in every pic i see of him.
