Hey - not bad after a 14 1/2 hour flight, crossing the international time zone, and into the Southern Hemisphere!

TD,

Good luck with the show. Looks like an excellent line-up you have there. Try to get Dexter to eat some cookies.

Even harder.

They went from Columbus to Toronto, Did photo shoots for Muscletech, then Toronto - LA, LA - Sydney, Sydney - Melbourne.
About 24 hours in airports and planes.

Did anyone else enjoy Ronny Rockel's posing routine Saturday night, where he nearly fell over when trying to do a back double biceps.  The funny thing is that it didn't go unnoticed by Arnold who pointed it out during the Sunday morning seminar and talked about the lack of posing practice in today's competitors.  I have to agree with Arnold on this, how unathletic does it look to come out on stage at the Arnold and nearly fall over several times?

He greatly improved his posing this time... You had to see him the last few years... I really thought he was going to fall, too.

I'm a bit surprised that none of them got caught by the airport security for bringing illegal drugs..

Francois Benfatto got caught a couple of years ago, carrying Ritalin and Valium IIRC. Some tabs even in his socks.  :D

You'd have to be an absolute idiot to attempt to carry these days, especially to a country like Australia.

They have had plenty of arrests in the past with this show and a nightmare for the promoter.Can you imagine the Bad Press with this shit.But like Bob says if you can't see any lumps it's all OK. ::)You gotta love Benfatto 6th place = 0$ the fine for getting busted with drugs $6000 now that makes it worth it.Hmmmmmm?????.

i am sure that they juiced to the gills for the Arnold, and cruising on PCT right now and not using roids....  so they can travel, make money, and not risk getting busted.

they then take the next few months off, then do it all over for the O.

This promoter has got balls.  To take a bunch of steroid users and put them on a plane for 24 hours and then get them to walk around on a stage in a thong takes balls.

This promoter must be making some money on the side or something to put this show on.  A show that no one gives a toss about.  A show that is 'laughed at' by the industry.

And yes, how do these guys get their drugs while 'down under'. ...mmmmmmm very dubious situation. 

What a seedy and grimey sport this is!

Hi John Balik.

Running a pro show in Australia puts the promoter and his gym on the map. Probably a good marketing event for his gym. A pity about the drugs, though.

The Aussie Pro has become one of the most ridiculed shows on the circuit.  Look at these roided retards turning-up for what is just another meeting for a 'collection of dysfunctional gay worshippers'!

This show is like a 'pimple' on the butt of a drugged fuelled bodybuilder; annoying and unsightly, but it wont last long!

Who funds this 'nothing' and meaningless contest?  How is the 'money acquired' to get this financial disaster off the ground? 

Tony does it out of love for bodybuilding.
