Just about 5 months after suffering a tear in his right quad that sidelined him for the 2011 Olympia, Branch Warren blasts out a delt workout just 6 weeks prior to defending the Arnold Classic crown. In the video, Metroflex Gym owner Brian Dobson gives commentary on the "Texas Rattlesnake"

At 5 weeks out from his second Arnold Classic, Evan Centopani shows us the type of basic yet brutal training that's helped him improve his back since he turned pro. It doesn't get any more raw or blue collar than the deadlift. Watch The Ox work up to pulling 585 pounds of cold iron for 9 reps. Who does that 5 weeks out? A champion, that's who! Once you see this, you'll understand why Evan is a favorite to take it all in Columbus on March 3.

IFBB STARS COMING TO THE 2012 ARNOLD AMATEUR (part 5)

by Andrew Michalak

I have a pleasure to present the next seven top champions nominated to the 2012 Arnold Amateur Championships. You will see great physiques, surprising changes and returns.

The official nomination deadline: January 31st, 2012 has passed, so we have almost a complete list of nominated athletes but still several countries are “in touch” with the organizers, hoping to get US visas very soon. The current list of countries shows 53 participating nations but 60 is an expected number, so the event looks great!

The next seven stars within few days. Stay tuned!

SUSETTY TABASH – COSTA RICA

Women’s Bodyfitness up to 163 cm (Class C)

Graduated journalist from Jaco Beach on the Costa Rican Pacific coast. National champion and finalist of a couple of the South USA contests (Orange County). Then took part at the 2010 Women’s World, with no success, but coming to the 2011 Arnold Amateur in Columbus she was perfectly prepared and won the C Class, ahead of the 2010 world champion Natalia Mikhaylova! So, Susetty will come to Columbus to defend her title and… to fight for the overall, if successful in her class.

RENDA LO KIT MING – HONG KONG, CHINA

Women’s Bodybuilding up to 55 kg

Kit Ming is a legendary woman bodybuilder from Hong Kong, China. She won her first Hong Kong Championships in 1996, then became the Asian and Chinese champion in 1997. Altogether, won four Asian Championships and 2005 East Asian Championships. That year she qualified to the World Games, placing 2nd to Iryna Petrenko and this was her life achievement. Her last contest was 2008 Asian Championships when she has also become a winner. Nearly 20 years on stage and the next chance for the top trophy.

AGOSTINHO FIGUEIREDO – BRAZIL

Men’s Bodybuilding up to 90 kg

Top Brazilian and South American bodybuilder but has had problems with advancing to the top ten at the Men’s Worlds 2007 – 2009. Last September showed his best life conditions, winning 90 kg category at the South American Championships and finishing 3rd in overall. Maybe, this time will also be successful at the Arnold Amateur?

MIHA ZUPAN – SLOVENIA

Men’s Bodybuilding up to 100 kg

Zupan won the 2010 world overall title in the other organization, then moved into the IFBB, placed closely 2nd to Stefan Havlik at the 2011 European Championships and 3rd at the 2011 Arnold Europe. Tremendous legs and abs. Improving his arms, will be able to fight for the top trophy.

DALIBOR HAJEK – CZECH REPUBLIC

Men’s Bodybuilding up over 100 kg

Return of the giant! After few years of a “very promised bodybuilder” status he came to the 2010 Men’s Worlds in Baku, Azerbaijan, in fantastic conditions and grasped the world title in a very tough battle against Shabunia and Bazarov, who also come to Columbus this year. Adding the next Czech giant Petr Brezna, it will be a very attractive category, with Hajek as the only former world champion.

OLEKSANDR KISLYI – UKRAINE

Men’s Classic Bodybuilding up to 180 cm

Maybe, the biggest revelation of the 2011 European Championships. First time came to the international contest and win it! Student form Kyiv, Ukraine, has got from Mather Nature (and his parents) wonderful frame for physique sports: broad shoulder, narrow waist, high chest and shapely legs. Refining his physique, he will be able to fight for the highest trophies.

JESUS BRITOS – PARAGUAY

Men’s Classic Bodybuilding up to 171 cm

2010 South American champion and 2011 Arnold America winner. Showed high muscle quality and nice overall body proportions. He will be a front-runner this time also but will have more rivals on the stage.

4 weeks from the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic's Dennis Wolf is at a weight of 283lb in my humble opinion at his all time best. I put my money on Dennis winning the Arnold with his new and improved back which all the experts think was his weak point. It's time to represent and show the world that he did his homework and then some!
