I've been great...thanks for asking!

There are a handful of small shows in Maryland, but aside from the Maryland, nothing really worth attending.

well, you have to look at the demographics of the Capital. Not alot of potential competitors.

Todd Swinney told me he was going to co-promote a large regional (MD/VA/DC) show last year, but it never happened. Not sure it ever will.

come attend my class..i got an almost 95% pass rate... :)
people that fail after taking my class are usually folks that have absolutely no business being in the field..
in any case i better fucking pass my CCIE soon..my girl has kidney faliure and i dont want her working anymore..and i've recently turned down almost 6 figure offers..i'm gonna have to punch myself in the face if i fail >:(
thing with WAN networking is..while the rest of the economy is going down the shitter..there is more work available for us cisco folks than we can handle.. 8) and we dont come exactly cheap either...

it's such a shame that there are no shows in the DMV (D.C, Maryland, Virginia) area. I'm sure we have a very large bodybuilding audience in there.

Godamn, that's a lot of money. are you CISSP certified also. Let me know if the CCIE is impossible to pass for some people. I know people in the Washington D.C. area that are making 100k+ with CISSP alone, but of course, they had 7+yrs experience with Cisco stuffs
-
I loved the BodyRock...but I think it needed more local support than it actually received.
I do wish that Steve had continued with the Expo, though, even if he'd dropped the show. I know that the DC area can support something like that, even though venue rental are astronomical in that area.

I do know that Todd was having a hell of a time finding reasonably priced space for the regional show he was looking to do.

65/hr is ok money cause i only work part time..thats half the month, the other half i spend on vacation ;D
i want one last summer of freedom and then i'll go for a full time position.. 8)
i dont have a CISSP and i would not want one..instead i'd rather get my CCSP (cisco cert security professional) which is much tougher than the CISSP and then go for my CCIE in security .
Persuing the CCIE in routing and switching right now.
Let me know if the CCIE is impossible to pass for some people
yeah it is simply not within everyones reach just like not everyone can get a phd in physics or by mr olympia..
however you wont know till you try eh...if you put in the hard work and you are average smart...its possible...

they need a good venue..the bodyrock ws soo far from DC ..at georgemason U...i mean get a friggin proper venue..
university of MD would been a better choice with all the hotels bars and food choices in the area..

The stages at Univ of MD are way too expensive to rent. But you are right, that would be a great venue.

goatie here hoping desperately that toxic is gay!
i'm kinda flattered hon but sorry..dont swing that way :-*
-

the show n expo at the new MCI center which is huge!..and then after party at the stone! or the new thirsty turtle which actually has a huge night club upstairs and a nice bar downstairs all right on route 1 and walking distance from the MCI center and several hotels bars and food spots..
i'd pay a much higher ticket cost if it ws well done ...
-
ccie exams are tough. pass rate nationally is like 26%, so the payout after passing is really nice.
tougher than benching over 400+ raw.

Shit I've asked this myself. There is some national level dude that's out of Gold's Gym in Annapolis. Then there is another national ranked dude out of Gold's gym in Rockville. Hell, There were some extremely good dudes that were based out of Levrone's World gym in Millersville. As a mater of fact he was this Italian dude that had legs like Levrone as well. The PG, Glen Burnie, Baltimore and DC areas all have some fierce dudes, that never compete.

If it was at U of MD, you might get TV coverage...from all the drunkards that would there...or have it at Ocean City, kinda like a Muscle Beach type of thing. And do it in during the summer months, where tourist will spend there money on attractions, or detractions, whichever the way you want to look at it, with steriods all in the news. You also have remember that certain parts of MD are very conservative.

Yeah, i have, where is based out of, cause there was another dude similar name, like Rodney or something based out of the Gold's in Annapolis....which used to be a Luskins store...
I've haerd about the Greenbelt Gold's...Sometimes the most ghetto-est gyms have some of the best dudes...it light a fire under your ass.

college park is hardly conservative! ;D

Probably was hanging around them fools from Freetown and what not...Papoose was too small, but he has a kid to raise anyway...
Annapolis is what I mean by conservative, you have muscles, shit u get look at like you are shit stain... and don't let you have a pit bull...everybody (whose got money) in Annapolis has a Lab, and then you have the idoits who live out their boats.

i thought maryland has a show
-
if you are going to hold a show in DMV it has to be in VA. If you want a good gym you need to come to my gym in manassas(the city of manassas does suck ass) but my gym is awesome, Olympus Gym. There is a local natty show in woodbrdige(hoodbridge) in july
-
There are a lot of natural shows in the DC Metro area, if you find those interesting, lots of OCB shows there as well as NGA.
Musclemania used to have a good show too but that got cancelled.
I used to live in MD for almost 10 years, loved going to the BodyRock, its a shame they cancelled it, was an awesome show, and always had lots of guest posers!
-
The NPC Lenda Murray is coming back to Va Beach on August 18th.
There's a new VA NPc chairman, so (from what I understand) things are a bit unorganized right now. I also heard that the State show is to be 2 weeks prior to that.
If anyone needs info, PM me and I'll try to get the name of the promoter. I think he's at East Coast Gym on Indian River Road in Virginia Beach. I don't live there anymore, so it's hard to keep up with everything.

Problem with the OCB is that (I've been to 3 shows by 3 different promoters) they are a clusterf*ck. Worst run shows ever. I went to one in MD in 2005, and it started 2 hours late! And that was just the beginning...

I know that Gym. it's a pretty nice place. I used to be a member of Olympus gym in maryland. they closed that gym a couple years ago, it is now Gold's Gym, so I ended up became a member of Gold's since. the D.C, Maryland and Virginia area has about 39 gold's in total, I think
-
Which one do you train at? I'm at Ballston, and sometimes S. Glebe.
-
I Live in maryland now, I'm in silver spring. they have 4 gold's within 15 minutes from each other. I used to workout at the Gold's in Tyson Corner, and connecticut ave. great atmosphere

I like that one. I do my cardio at the Gold's in the AM at Rockville town center, close to office.
I wish there were some more hardcore gyms in the area, but with my travel, I guess Gold's is the best choice...

I heard the clarendon golds is really good, i remember in one of the battle for the olympias kamali was complaining that golds in tyson does like bbers? Thanks for the good things you said about my gym. We just got new owners, they are awesome, the gym just went 24 hours, they put in a MMA cage. And they going to replace most of the hammmer strength and nautilus equipment
It is the funny the old owner has a told asshole, John Andrews, he was a bbers too, he won the overall Bodyrock in 2003 and 1997. I am glad he sold the gym

Good News. I will check them out soon. Damn, a 24hrs operation is marvelous. I wish this Gold's was closer to me.

capital ws the definition of a hardcore gym complete with its own wandering pitbulls! ;D hamburger used to train there....he prolly is at the 24 hr worlds in largo...but from what i hear the place is more ghetto then golds in greenbelt..
-

Thanks, bro!

How is that Gold's? I was thinking about joining.
I think it's pretty good. Granted, I only do AM cardio, but the have plenty of free weights and Hammer Strength and other machines. Not sure about how heavy the dumbbells go, though.

I'm not too familiar with the area. My office is here, so I train at this Gold's b/c it's only 5 min from my office. I love in Alexandria, so I am still learning the area!

Ouch, the commute. I knew a chick that would commute form Rockville to Alexandria. I moved down here from Annapolis, and I work 15 from home, but I hate 270 in the morning...makes me not even want to go to the gym...

HAHAHAHA....LMAO...The Golds' in greenbelt is the Wold's Ghettoest Gym. I hated this Gym and still hate it to this day. a few years ago, Kevin Levrone would stop by, I have no idea who Kevin knew there back then. I heard Chris webber used to own that Gym. I just wished they would find a better location in greenbelt for this Gym other than this 3rd rate Shopping mall. Hamburger must be doing well with "Yonnex nutrition" ;D

I'd rather go to a Ghetto one, at least you have equipment freed up, and a certain atmosphere. At Booghie ones, every body stands around the equipment and talks about their 401(K) plans, then hop into their cars and say, "What a workout tonight"

Wasn't he dating Renita Hall (I forgot the last name) she was hottie Milf back in the late 90's, kinda like a Fitness version of Tina Turner...

lol....yeah, eventhough that Gold's is Ghetto, but I used to see big guys having serious workout. they had a few amateurs that workout there, and this Gold's used to host local contests every summer. I don't know if they're still doing it.

not sure...all i know is he'd be in the gym and i would be thinking gawd yonnie looks smaller than rob (another bber in my old gym)..or damn yonnie looks like shit...
then yonnie would disappear and show up 2 months later with 30 lbs of extra muscle and ripped..to compete for the masters o
natty myass ::)

Washington D.C is not really a bodybuilding city. Bodyrock couldn't even make decent profit, imagine how poor a Pro show would score

Are you all not going to see Victory Martinez and Phil Heath at this years Maryland State show in Baltimore @ the Inner Harbor?
Marylandnpc.com
there where 80 competitors last year , they anticipate over a 120.
-
Why are there no shows in the MD/DC/VA areas?
Because most people in the DC area aren't gay?
-
what does that mean?
-
Just an FYI... check public records...John Andrews still owns that gym...and is still the sole owner...the two new guys in there work for HIM.....
John Andrews has done a great job fixing up that gym....it really used to be a total dump before he bought it...
-
what does that mean?
It means mostly homosexuals go to "bodybuilding shows".
(except for Ron, of course... he's just there to destroy fitness slut pussy)
-
there's a leather queen convention the same weekend as the obama inauguration presidents day weekend. combined 10 million tourists will be in town that weekend. missed opportunity for a great bodybuilding show.

How will you be able to live on?
-
The MD/DC/VA area is too close to where all the politicians live.
-
actually every october is the Maryland championships. Held in conjunction is the east coast classic. its is pretty much taking the place of the bodyrock now. steve mcaddams is even involved. this year was a very high level of compeditiors, and its growing every year. held in the baltimore convention center, in inner harbor. look at the marland website for info.....
-
its about dollars, bums on seats. simple demand and supply principles apply.....basic economics really.
