THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY ARNOLD CLASSIC!

Prejudging took place in the wonderful Veterans’ Memorial Auditorium at noon with the Finals

following at 7PM. Dexter Jackson

was striving for his 3rd victory at this event out of a field of 15 of the world’s greatest

bodybuilders. All were striving

for the richest prize in bodybuilding, a $130,000 check presented by MD magazine, a $20,000

Audemars Piguet watch, a Tony

Nowak jacket and of course the Arnold Classic trophy presented by GNC.
Dexter Jackson had won the Arnold Classic in 2005 and 2006 and was seeking to join Flex

Wheeler (1993, 1997, 1998 and 2000)

and Jay Cutler (2002, 2003 and 2004) as the only men to win the event more than twice. At

the Finals an elated DEXTER JACKSON

did join Jay Cutler as a very worthy 3 time winner of this event. PHIL “The Gift” HEATH

pushed Dexter all of the way with his

superb shape, symmetry and new improved size. However Dexter displayed an overall package of

muscle maturity and hardness

that proved to be the best on stage this year with Phil not far behind him. Phil took home

prize money of $75,000.
The big surprise to many was the 3rd place finish of KAI GREENE who took home $50,000 and a

lot more prestige than he has

enjoyed from any of his previous pro placings. This man is a real contender. In 4th place

with $30,000 it was BRANCH WARREN

who also took out the Most Muscular Award and a magnificent Joska Kristall trophy. 5th place

and $15,000 went to SILVIO

SAMUEL with 6th place and $10,000 going to GUSTAVO BADELL.
MELVIN ANTHONY received $10,000 for winning the Most Entertaining Posing Award. This was no

surprise although Kai Greene gave

him a real contest!

In the PREJUDGING Disc #1 we include every single comparison from all 15 competitors, shot

from our central front camera in

the press pit. In the FINALS Disc #2 you will see the exciting opening of the show, then all

15 athletes perform their

complete posing routines through to top 6 posedown and awards. See Arnold's very humorous

interview of Dexter Jackson plus

final victory posing by Dexter.

This FINALS disc has been edited from 4 different cameras using the best angle and the best

possible image of the

bodybuilders at all times. The footage was shot from Wayne’s central camera position in the

press pit and from the 3 house

cameras of LIVE TECHNOLOGIES, producing the best ever Arnold Classic Finals DVD.
Of very special importance were the Lifetime Achievement Award to BEN WEIDER, the special

tribute to REG PARK and the

introduction and presentation of all Past Winners of the Arnold Classic. These segments are

included in their entirety. Plus

much more in the Extra Features of the DVDs including 2 separate Photo Galleries. The Photo

Galleries are by Raymond Cassar
