aye.....although Arnold Ams is a lot less static than the pro event
Ken did extremely well this year, and his static strength, whilst good, is not his main strength


The AM comp looks much better than the main one. Much more balanced comp. I can see a few UK guys having the potential to do well at it this time.

Along the same lines as Chris, would Ken be excluded having done Europes?

Again, I think it a bit unjust to "punish" Ken & Chris for their national qualifier success, when, by their own admission, they aren't up to "pro" standard as yet

I completely agree, and hope it woudn't be the case. Thor had won a national title before he did the Arnold Am hadn't he?

I was thinking this the other day, but wasn't entirely sure!?

I think we may be making more of an issue of it, than it actually is. ie. they dont give a f**k who does Ams unless your a "name"

Yeah, you may well be right. I certainly hope there is no barrier, and I am of course hoping that we have 2 Scots at the Arnold Happy

Can't wait to watch this, round the corner from my house. If anyone is looking for B and B's or places to park close to the event ect (the green area and most of station road where the even is, is usually closed off), I can put some numbers up for local pubs that have rooms, hotels ect if anyone needs them?

I belive the top 5 will be invited from this final to Arnolds am, ca i point out that we have had a scots, wales and 3 qualifiers and england final to find the top 5. by my count we have had around 50 athletes competing to get a chance at Arnolds am.
