Arnold Classic Anyone?

Jwillbc55 · Dec 19, 2005

Just wondering if anyone is going to the Arnold or if you have gone in the past is it worth the trip? I went to the Olympia and had a great time just wondering what everyone else thinks.

The AC is the best. Most people enjoy it more than the olympia.

AWN2004 · Dec 19, 2005

The AC is way better than the O in my opinion. The show is run so smooth and they dont mess around. The expo is damn packed its insane. You can also go to the World Gym which is with in walking distance from the host hotel and train and you will most likely see some pros training there too. Its worth the trip for sure.

The expression "put a f****** shirt on before you catch a cold" comes to mind.

Haha Edge-Im one of those assholes with the tank top! haha
I hate having to lug a damn coat around. Actually I wear one sometimes and leave it at Rick Collins booth where I hang out and help a little.

Man worth the trip? Unless youve been to the Playboy mansion, youve never seen so many unbelievably hot women in your life as the Expo has. Plus all the BBing fun you could imagine. I never miss it-I think this will be my 5th year.

Sell-out Arnold wont be associated with the event any more.
Some of the people at the event do steroids. What about the kids?! Cant be
tied to that, oh my!
Good old political correctness takes down our (former) main man. Dickhead.

Last I heard Arnold was going to be there he just isn't involved in the financial aspects of the show. I mean they are still using his name and face

big_byrd52 · Dec 20, 2005

Ill be there at the Powerlifting meet and in the booth area.

JonnyO · Dec 20, 2005

I would take the AC over the Olympia anyday. I had alot more fun there in Columbus, plus when I was there the Canucks beat the Blue Jackets, lol. But yes its fun there, had some great food. Plus the place is really buzzing from all the events, not just bodybuilding, but martial arts, gymnastics, PLing etc, etc, MMA. Its great you wont be disappionted! I found in Vegas all I did between pre-judging, the night show, teh expo and the finals was walk around and drink all day and eat liek crap, lol. Also the AC Expo is alto better than the one at the O.

So if my goal is free supplement samples then the Arnold should be exactly what I'm looking for?

I filled 2 duffle bags with free shit from the Olympia expo

holyintellect · Dec 22, 2005

I'll be there....This will be my 8th year, and I still get as excited as a kid on
Christmas each year. If you've never been I encourage you to go, even if its only to the expo, which costs ten measly bucks to get into.

Hey Mike....I actually saw you again this year, but due to the freaking mass of people in there, I couldnt get to you to say hello...At any rate, yes Im still a mod on Bolex. Porter Cottrell is my best friend and training partner, and I actually think Ive convinced him to go hang out this year. So if you should see either of us, yell hello, and as always I'll look for you at Ricks booth...

MikeS · Dec 22, 2005

It is worth the trip, i live in columbus, Ohio and i am very much looking forward to going again this year. I love the expo as well great time free stuff and chances to meet many bodybuilders from all over the country. you will have a great time also you can work out at world gym, many pros in there. i work out at worlds, so it is awesome.

Mr Pickles · Jan 12, 2006

i did get a room, so i WILL be there. Catwaxers gayass will be there too. you'll know its Picko and Catwaxer when you see a Brad Pitt lookalike (thats me) and smell something like sewage and tacos (thats catwaxer).

on the real, if you see a little guy in a yellow shirt that says "Mr Pickles... home of the fat one" and has a little pickle guy... thats me... say hello
