Super heavy overall champ at the 2011 Arnold Amateur, Matthias Botthof, guest posing at the Salon Mondial Body Fitness Expo in France a couple of weekends after his win!
A very pissed off Sami "The Blacksmith" Al Haddad after finishing 3rd in the light heavies at the 2011 Arnold Amateur (he was runner up to Andrzej Maszewski in the heavyweight class last year).
With numerous wins under his belt including the 2009 and 2010 Asian Amateurs, 2009 and 2010 light heavy champ at the World Amateurs, 2007 and 2008 Pro Battle of Giants winner and 2005 professional Musclemania champ, Sami has had a impressive career.
The 37 year old is out for blood and determined to win the first IFBB Amateur Mr. Olympia this weekend at the ICC Auditorium in London (part of the British Grand Prix & Fitness Expo).
Vaillant and Hoffmann were ultimately battling out for second it seems, with German Matthias Botthof taking the top spot and the overall title last weekend.
