Countdown to the Classic

With five weeks left until the 22nd annual Arnold Classic, Team MuscleTech™ athletes are in full contest-prep mode for their assault on one of the most illustrious titles in professional bodybuilding. Three Team MuscleTech champions are gunning for the First-place trophy and the right to call themselves the Arnold Classic champion – only time will tell which one will prevail.

Branch WarrenBranch Leading the Charge

The 2009 Olympia saw one of the most intense bodybuilders on the planet – Branch Warren – taking second place and moving one step closer to winning the Mr. Olympia title. In March, Branch heads back to Columbus where he has previously placed as high as second and currently holds the record for the largest number of Arnold Classic Most Muscular award titles, at three. Heading into the Arnold's, Branch has brought up his arms and back to complete what is without question, one of the most dominant and most shredded physiques in bodybuilding today.

Johnnie JacksonJohnnie's Back in Action

Johnnie Jackson is fresh off a dominating performance at the “Duel in the Desert” at the 2009 Olympia where he cemented his legacy as the world's strongest bodybuilder. Now with bodybuilding being his main focus, Johnnie is gearing up to bring his best package ever to the Arnold Classic stage. His best placing at the Arnold's was in 2008 and 2009 where he placed 9th, and with a new high-volume training program, Johnnie feels that 2010 is his year to make serious moves up the ladder at the Arnold's.

Branch Warren - TrisDexter Looking to Tie the Record

Without question, Dexter Jackson is one of the most consistent professional bodybuilders ever to step onstage. His classic lines, full muscle bellies and unmatched conditioning year after year make Dexter a lethal threat to the title in every competition he enters. Before winning the 2008 Mr. Olympia, Dexter dominated the Arnold Classic stage three times in 2005, 2006 and 2008. With one more Arnold Classic victory, the Blade would tie the all-time record for most Arnold Classic victories.

In only a matter of weeks, the 2010 Arnold Classic will once again take over the city of Columbus, Ohio. Team MuscleTech athletes are in lock down mode – they've completed their traveling and appearances, their training and diets are on point and they're focused on one goal – taking home what has become one of the most prestigious titles in the sport today.
