robert Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I realize it's not a very vegan-friendly event, but a bunch of people on the forum are into bodybuilding and may be attending. So, is anyone here planning on going to the Mr./Mrs. Olympia contests in 7 weeks? I don't think I'll be going but if some of you do, you should meet up and hang out, train together, get photos, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xveganjoshx Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I was just going to post a topic about this! Nice!I may go to the Mr.O if I can find people to go with. Anyone interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 I "might" consider it if I can find a place to stay for free or as little as possible. It's a fun environment there. I was there in 2004. I may have some other committment during those dates, in fact I'm pretty sure I'll be in California. I'll have to double check some things, but if I'm free, I'd "consider" it.

scrodhi Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 As soon as there is regime change in my homeland, or it is held outside of occupied North America otherwise....I'll pass. I would enjoy the spectacle though.........not nearly enough to return to the USA lol~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yeah, it is a spectacle for sure! I've been once before and it was very cool to be part of it. I don't know when I'll go again. Maybe in 2008 if we do a forum meet-up at the O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Any thoughts on the Olympia coming up this weekend? I'll be in San Francisco so I won't be there. Here's my man, current Mr. O in action: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 I've been watching vids again. Man, Jay looked incredible in 2001! Better than when he won the Mr. O in 2006. Check it out! I watched it via PPV back in 01 and was bummed he didn't win, when he should have. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylVdqopgTjs&mode=related&search= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Jay's back and abs looked much better than Ronnie, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yeah, he actuall WON in 2001 in EVERY category except the pose down. It was totally lame and he should have been Mr. O that year, and everyone knows it but because of politics in the sport, he came in 2nd again.....then took a year off from Mr. O to get better and was 2nd in 03,04,05 and finally won in 06. It's usually really close between them. Often times it's obvious Ronnie should win, other times, very, very close, including in 2001 when Jay should have won.

xveganjoshx Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yeah, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go to the Mr. Olympia finals. I'm thinking of flying to Vegas Saturday morning, hanging out at the expo, and then watching the finals. Probably flying back that night. Anyone else planning on being there?

I got your message but my phone is messed up at the moment so I couldn't respond. Great! I wish I could go but I'll be speaking in San Francisco at the World Vegetarian Day Festival. Dude, I might be back! I've trained 6 of the last 7 days, I'm watching a lot of bodybuilding videos, eating a ton, protein drinks everyday, etc. Besides Me! Have fun and say hi to Jay for me if you talk to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so want to see her win this year. Yeah Monica is awesome. I saw her a few months ago and I've watched her compete, and chatted with her a bunch of times. Here is a recent pic taken a couple of months ago: *Notice my shredded forearm is bigger than her upper arm* http://a606.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/9/l_80a75791ab5f0668cefecbd9bb640275.jpg I hope she does well. She's very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanging out in Vegas for the night, and flying back Sunday morning. Arrangements have already been made. This was kinda spontaneous, but I'm really stoked!
