The 2009 Arnold Sports Festival (The Bodybuilding & Fitness Version)

cbdetroit · #1 December 7th, 2008, 02:28 PM

Now this Prestigious Contest also known as Arnold Classic Weekend, Arnold Fitness Weekend or just simply the Arnolds is one of My Favorite Contests to attend not just only that it's a 3 or 3 1/2 hr. Drive from Detroit but it has from what I've seen in the last couple of years the Best in Pro & Amateur Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure, Powerlifting, Strongman, Gymnastics, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Fencing, Boxing, Fitness Expo & Etc... is worth the trip.

The contest including the Fitness Expo as well as the VIP Dinner/Afterparty will be held during the weekend of March 6-8, 2009 in Columbus, OH USA and trust me if you're a fan of physique sports including Bodybuilding & Fitness, it's worth the Trip. So without further ado for anyone knows who's planning or attending this prestigous contest plus any infos on any legitimate afterparties or get together right after the Arnolds on Friday or Saturday Night (March 6 or 7, 2009) then please feel free to post photos or to Holler because inquiring minds would Like to know.

Plus Remember that this is a NO HATE ZONE!!!!

If you gotta hate on someone take it elsewhere & don't ruin it for everyone else because No Negativity allowed. Just keep it Positive.

So until then, "Freaky Shredded Vascular Striated Ripped" Contest Shape Rules & This thread's for you. Thank you, Peace.

I'm also looking forward to see if either James or Gene's got the Wild Webcam fired up for this Gig as well because FTV/Genex is the Best place to check out on what's going on at the Arnolds.

So without futher ado, I'll be plan on attending this contest that weekend.

I also want to let everyone else know that I've noticed on other previous threads that some of the Fellow posters are looking for Hotel rooms as well as any Good Possible roomates so please feel free to also use this thread to network or to give any info on any Hotel or Motel Suite/Room Vacancies for that weekend so it can be Cool to see plenty of Fellow posters from FTV/Genex, as well as people from Muscle Mayhem, & FeminineBodybuilding.com come March 2009 just Like it was within the Last couple of years that I've attended, Thanks

Hi just thought I would add my opinion on who I cannot wait to see place

Amateur

Fitness Medium - LAURIANNE ANDREE competed in Europe last year but not heard much about her

Figure B - AGATA RADZIWONIUK !!!! OMG won at the Junior worlds last season ex football player "Soccer" now 21 hope she places well awesome leg development

Figure C/ D Laura Richards and Celeste Bonin . Laura has come in very soft at her last few comps and has placed low cant wait to see if she presents a tighter physique - Celeste Bonin stunning and always a pleasure to see compete .

PRO

Fitness Nicole Wilkins always continues to build on her physique

Figure Gina Aliotti .................................................. .................................................. ....................................

Well don't need to say anything the winner I predict !

losing an hour is enough of a problem w/o also missing a plane or a photo shoot appointment.

DAvid · #17 March 5th, 2009, 08:52 PM

Lovely lady. I look forward to the coverage for the weekend.

genex · #18 March 6th, 2009, 01:08 AM

Bikini was interesting with Ali Sonoma winning the overall and probably deservedly so although I don't know what the criteria is since this was my first time as well as the NPC/IFBBs:
