Default Possibly the GREATEST Arnold yet!
This in my mind was the best Arnold yet. Lots of amazing feats of strength. My favorite was the Appolon axle. Watching guys power clean this apparatus was awesome. Misha cleaning the axle 8 times is right up there with some amazing feats of strength. Take nothing away from anybody else, these guys cleaning the axle is just amazing. Watching Poundstone with the circus dumbell and crank out 15 reps. Three American guys loading a 530 lbs stone and nobody else getting it. Misha clean and jerk with 501 on a very rigid bar. Brad Gillingham dealifting 881 and getting to help him get jacked up before he went.

It was great seeing everybody there. I saw faces that I haven't seen in a long time. I was asked to do some exhibitions for the Omega Strength team on Sunday. Won another set of Kettlebells. Now I have the complete set. Just an awesome weekend. Schoonie

It was great seeing you again Brian. You still look big as ever! Congrats on your kettlebell performance. I remember seeing you at the Arnold back in 2002 and 2004, and now in 2009. So every year I've seen you there has been a different Arnold champion! haha..!

I agree that this was a great Arnold also! Saturday especially!

Good luck with your upcoming contest!

You had a busy weekend Brian! Seems like no matter what event it was, you were either loading, spotting, or lifting! Good seeing you again. My wife thought it was hilarious; you rubbing Brayley's head trying to get her to go to sleep.

Default nice seeing you
It was nice seeing you Schoonie. You looked like you were having a great time...you looked healthy and in good shape. Maybe I'll see you later this year.

I also thought the stones was one of the highlights of the weekend. Phil Pfister, Travis and Derek nailing the big stone brought the place to life.

I have an article on the strongman show that will be on line by tomorrow night with quotes from Brian Siders, Travis and Odd...also some pics. It will be at footballstories.com under strongman.
