As usual, I am running behind.  However, I still thought it would be a good idea to post the results of the 2008 Arnold Classic.   Brenda Raganot won fifth place, and qualifies for the 2008 Olympia.  When that contest rolls around, I promise to be a little more prompt with some coverage.

According to GeneX Hwang, around 150,000 people attended the exposition that takes place alongside the competition. Be sure and check out Mr Hwang's complete contest report with excellent photo coverage.

I greatly appreciate the readers of this humble weblog for your continued support of The Muscular Asian Woman.
