2008-03-05 16:02:00
The official results of UFC 82 "Pride of a Chamare in.Anderson Silva defeated Dan Henderson via submission (rear-naked choke) — Round 2 (4:52)Anderson Silva defeated Dan Henderson. There’s no stopping this guy, the way he performed against Henderson was absolutely amazing. The two came out, felt each other out showing total respect for each other’s skill. For over a minute the two didn’t exchange and then Henderson threw a blow which lead to Silva throwing some kicks. The two exchanged for a little bit and then continued to feel each other out. Henderson took Silva down several times in the first round and proceeded to throw hammer fists to Anderson’s head. In the second round Anderson seemed much more comfortable in the ring dancing around striking with high kicks and punch combinations. Anderson landed a number of strikes bringing Henderson to the mat, he took Dan’s back, flattened him out, punches him with strikes and ended the fight with a Rear Naked Choke - this guy...

National health magazines have ranked Colorado Springs, Colorado the fittest city in the country and it seems the city now has a new champion in the cause for fitness.Jill Kolivoski was recently named Miss Natural Olympia 2007, a coveted title in bodybuilding world.Jill Kolivoski first began bodybuilding ten years ago, motivated by a fascination of the body's natural ability to transform itself through building muscle. However, in her quest to become a professional, Jill discovered the dark side of the bodybuilding world."There came a point in that league where in order to go anywhere and get your pro card you would have to step across the border and start using drugs and the judges will tell you exactly what they want you to do,” Kolivoski said.So, she moved away from the traditional muscle scene and set a goal of reaching the top naturally. Using a straight-forward combination of the diet and exercise, the massage therapist transformed herself over the course of a year to compe...

Producer of IFBB Arnold Classic Warns Competitors About Steroids
2008-03-04 19:43:00
Jim Lorimer, bodybuilding promoter and co-founder of the Arnold Sports Festival and the IFBB Arnold Classic , warned professional male bodybuilders competing in the bodybuilding competition in a private athlete’s meeting last Thursday night about reporters asking questions about “enhancement.” This was interpreted by those in attendance as a reference to anabolic steroids and other performance enhancement drugs although Lorimer never mentioned steroids directly.Lorimer offered guidance for bodybuilders who were approached by reporters:" Don’t focus on anything but the fantastic effort these athletes make which is… beyond athletes in every other sport as far as physical commitment and discipline and hard work and that’s the story I think we got to… Again, we got to make sure we tell that good part of the story; we got to tell the best of our story, ok?Jim Lorimer told the athletes that every one of the over 30 sports federations competing in the Arnold Sports Festival ha...

Arnold Will Appear in Next Terminator Movie
2008-03-04 16:05:00
Actor and Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger will appear in the next Terminator sequel - in digital form.Schwarzenegger, who has starred in the three Terminator movies to date, has granted studio Halycon permission to use his likeness in the upcoming movie.Earlier this week, Halycon entrepreneurs Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson announced they have bought the rights to the Terminator franchise and are planning to have a fourth film in cinemas by 2009.Anderson says: “We’ll be using computer altered stock images of Arnold. That way we can span his entire career, from the frightening ’80s era Terminator to the ice cool T2 version.”However, the actor, turned political heavyweight will still be personally involved in the next episode, and a further two instalments after that, of the series.His representative Annabelle Gross reports: “He’s signed on as executive producer for all three pictures, and we are in talks for further appearance licensing.”Source: ShowBizSpy

2008 IFBB Arnold Classic Results and Photos
2008-03-03 05:33:00
On a night when all past IFBB Arnold Classic Champions were honored, it only seemed fitting that one of the men from the past would seize the moment in the present.In perhaps his best-ever form, Dexter Jackson held off a hard-charging Phil Heath to win his third IFBB Arnold Classic on Saturday at Veteran's Memorial Coliseum in Columbus, Ohio.In the process, Jackson became the third competitor to win three titles in the 20-year history of the event, joining four-time champion Flex Wheeler and three-time champion Jay Cutler. "This is a dream come true," Jackson said.Heath, for his part, was much improved from a year ago when, after winning the first two professional contests of his career, he came into the 2007 IFBB Arnold riding a wave of pre-contest hype and a boatload of questions concerning just how good he actually was. After a relatively disappointing fifth-place finish last year, he took the year off with an eye on adding some much-needed size for his return to Columbus. Missi...

Erik Fromm Died from Accidental Fentanyl Overdose
2008-02-28 17:28:00
The Hennepin County medical examiner has determined that amateur bodybuilder Erik Fromm died from an accidental overdose of Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a highly potent painkiller described as 80 times as strong as morphine. Fromm was in a severe car accident that resulted in severe pain.Fromm had a serious traffic accident about a year ago in Wyoming, causing him severe pain in his lower back and in his legs and arms, said Kevin Schreifels, a friend of Fromm’s.“He was rating the pain pretty high,” said Schreifels, a doctor at Lyn-Lake Chiropractic in Minneapolis. He said he was unaware of Fromm using fentanyl. Source: Meso-Rx BlogPhoto Credit: http://www.repetrope.com/

Arnold Schwarzenegger Wants His Tank Back "So He Can Enjoy It"
2008-02-27 16:25:00
A military museum that for the last eight years has displayed a tank driven by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was a member of the Austrian army has returned the vehicle to the governor at his request.“I'm not upset a bit,” Warren Motts, founder and director of Motts Military Museum, said Tuesday.“I'm pleased we had the opportunity to have it and let people see it. It was neat to have a Hollywood connection.”Mr. Motts said Mr. Schwarzenegger acquired the M47 U.S.-made tank from the Austrian government and had it shipped to Florida. He transported it to a Columbus shopping mall in 1999 when he opened a Planet Hollywood restaurant there.Workers at Mott's Military Museum in Groveport, Ohio, secure Arnold Schwarzenegger 's Austrian Army tank onto a truck for a trip to California. Mr. Schwarzenegger lent the tank to the museum, located in Groveport, Ohio, in 2000.Aaron McLear, Mr. Schwarzenegger's press secretary, said the governor plans to store the tank at...

2008 IFBB Arnold Classic Preview: Women's Predictions Part 1
2008-02-26 20:38:00
Well, it’s that time.And this year marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most prestigious events in the muscle world, with the IFBB Olympia being the only event bigger than the IFBB Arnold . History will be made in all four categories: Men’s Bodybuilding, Women’s Bodybuilding, Fitness, and Figure.For the guys, a new IFBB Arnold Classic Champion will be crowned as the reigning champion (Victor Martinez) had to withdraw due to injury training for this event. No doubt whoever wins this event will carve his name in the annals of the history of not only the IFBB Arnold Classic, but in men’s bodybuilding in general.In part one of the women’s side of things, I’ll discuss my IFBB Arnold thoughts on the fitness division, where a new top six will emerge due to the noticeable absences of Adela Garcia, Tanji Johnson, and Julie Shipley-Childs, among plenty of others. This lineup is the smallest that I can recall, but it’s made up of incredible talent, from seasoned veterans to up...

2008 IFBB Arnold Classic Preview: Melvin Anthony Interview
2008-02-26 16:33:00
He’s placed in the top six in each of the last two IFBB Mr. Olympias but, somehow, there isn’t much hype surrounding Melvin Anthony heading into the 2008 IFBB Arnold Classic this weekend. Why? First and foremost, his conditioning is always a question mark. And in a lineup where conditioning should be at a premium at the top of the order (see Dexter Jackson and Phil Heath), Anthony is going to have to be at his best in order to make a run at the top spot. When FLEXONLINE.COM caught up with Anthony this weekend, he said he is not only bigger – 10 pounds, to be exact come contest-time – but better than he’s ever been.FLEXONLINE: WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE SINCE LAST YEAR’S OLYMPIA?MELVIN ANTHONY: I’m coming in with 10 pounds of muscle.

2008 IFBB Arnold Classic Preview: Why Columbus, Ohio?
2008-02-25 15:53:00
Jim Lorimer was relaxing at Arnold Schwarzenegger's Santa Monica home when he felt compelled to suggest to his friend and business partner, who was in his late 30s, that it was time he marry his girlfriend of eight years."You've got to experience all of life's process: marriage, having children and, most importantly, grandchildren," Lorimer recalled saying. "You've got the girl, the relationship is great.""He took a puff on the cigar and said 'Thanks,' " Lorimer recalled. Weeks later Schwarzenegger proposed to Maria Shriver. At the couple's 1986 wedding, Lorimer read a Bible verse to his friend.Such counsel at life's crossroads has forged a loyal bond between the former mayor of Worthington and Nationwide executive, and the sitting governor of California.Many outsiders say it is the reason the Arnold Classic is coming to Columbus this week for the 20th time."It has been the greatest partnership I have ever been in, based on trust, soul mates," Schwarzenegger said Friday afte...

Born in Montgomery Alabama, he says when he was 15-years-old he wanted to be a bodybuilder.Because of his perseverance, he became the first african american to win the Mr. America title. "In 1970 I won the Mr. America, being the first African American to do so and I remember my coach Bill Pearl, to show you how things were then we discussed if I should win, whether or not I should kiss the trophy girl who was usually white, so that's the way things were then". Dickerson then set his sites on winning the IFBB Mr. Olympia title. His biggest competition was a familiar face, the current governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger "We went toe to toe in Australia back in 1980 and he won the title and I was a controversial second, because people felt I should have won, but he had the big name and he had done the Conan mov...
