You will see the complete Finals, including posedowns and Awards from the 2009 Arnold Classic contest for men.
The footage shot from Wayne’s central camera position in the press pit is recorded from what is generally regarded as the best seat in the house. This footage is edited and mixed with the program feed from the 3 house cameras of LIVE TECHNOLOGIES, producing the best ever coverage for an Arnold Classic video set.
Of very special importance was the Lifetime Achievement Award to Arnold’s long time friend and training buddy, Dr. FRANCO COLUMBU. Also in the main movie you see BRANCH WARREN receiving his Most Muscular Award, the award to KAI GREENE for the most entertaining posing routine plus Arnold’s traditional speech. Arnold told Kai that his routine was the best posing routine he had ever witnessed.
