Mariusz is not going to be competiting at this years arnold classic...

****************************************
?I?m not ready for the Arnold,? Mariusz told IronMind, ?because I have been too busy, doing too much work.?

Widely in demand for exhibitions and seminars, Mariusz Pudzianowski is coming off a hectic schedule and he explained that he does not want to come to the Arnold in less than top condition. ?I am the world champion,? said the three-time MET-Rx World?s Strongest Man winner, ?so I must come into a contest ready at 100%, not 75% like in China last year.?

Mariusz said that he is training hard now, preparing for the World Strongman Cup contest in Iran next month.

Now I'm not going to cry over this, partly because I don't even think he would have taken top 10 in this years competition, but it's still disappointing that I won't get to see him compete.

Also, that comment about 75% seems like a backhand at Phil Pfister (this years WSM champion)...

And I'm kind of wondering how he's not in shape for the biggest show of the year (his second biggest, as the WSM is his stage).
