I'll be there!

Sept 25-28, 08

 

?

[zinzen]

No can do, but are you planning on going to the arnold this year, march 8th I think, I can definatly make it there

[rdandrew]

Dude - I'm going. I can't wait.

 

Maybe I'll see you around?

[robert]

For sure you should get in touch!

 

I'll be there the 24th-30th so plenty of time to meet up, train, hang out, etc.

 

Awesome!

 

Many years in the making for us to finally meet!

[rdandrew]

Are you staying at The Orleans?

[robert]

Not sure. I don't know where I'm staying...I haven't been in a few years so I need to look at a map...I hear it is a bit off the strip?

 

I may stay there, haven't made any arrangements other than purchasing a flight from the 24th-30th.

 

I just wrote Mr. O yesterday to say hi. I've seen Jay 3 times this year so maybe we'll see him 3-peat!

 

Let me know....what are you doing? Where are you staying?

 

I'm open to share space too, and crash with a group of people or another person, split a hotel room, etc. I've shared hotels with over a dozen forum members as well as stayed at many of their houses, including 2 weeks ago in D.C. at two different forum member's houses.

 

Let's train and hang out!

[robert]

Anyone else????

 

A truly great bodybuilding event....better than the Arnold in some ways because there are only about 40,000 people not 150,000!!!

 

Easier to walk around, see things, talk to people, more relaxed, etc.

[robert]

rdandrew and I will be there. Anyone else?

 

roid rage...any more pics?

 

We're down to about a week away! I spent a week in Venice training at Gold's. Silvio Samual looks pretty amazing! But maybe top 8, not top 5. We'll see.

 

It should be exciting!

Jay Cutler two weeks out

This past Saturday, just 2 weeks out from the O, Jay came to Gold's Venice to shoot a segment of his new DVD. It was a great time as this time I got to work out with Jay and Big Eric in the DVD. Jay looked out of this world and ready to step on stage after losing his water. This DVD will be a lot different than anything else you have seen before, Jay hired a big production crew with sound, 3 cameras filming at the same time, it'll be a great one to own for any Cutler fan. Here's a few pics. Max.

The Wolf two weeks out

First of all it sucks that martinez isn't competing. I really think that he deserved to win last Mr O. Second of all, Wolf has IMO the best physique this year. I love tall bodybuilders.

[robert]

DAMMIT!

 

Jay was at Venice Gold's on Saturday! I thought he would be there. I e-mailed him recently and I was training there on Friday thinking I'd probably bump into him, knowing that he likes to come down to L.A. meet with his sports therapist, make an appearance at Gold's, etc.

 

I didn't make it to the gym on Saturday because I was working and gave a talk. So I totally missed him! Dammit!

 

I saw Silvio in his Olympia prep everyday but would have loved to have bumped into my buddy Jay at the gym while I was there.

 

Thanks for the pics and competitor list roid rage. I've been busy and haven't followed as closely as I would have liked.

 

I did see Monica Brant and 30 of her fitness camp girls, and some other bodybuilders, but I'm pissed I missed Jay!
