On Venice Beach on Saturday at 2pm, they dedicated the grand reopening of the workout area, in which Bodybuilding.com spent $40,000 of gym equipment, and Headblade provided the new flooring. Here are some pics from the event.
Also, Jack LaLanne and Franco Columbu had their plaques added to the Bodybuilding Hall of Fame.
Lots of pictures here...

Good stuff.
-
Jack LaLanne is the legend !!
How old is he now? 94 or 95 ....
-
Jack is 93 years old, turning 94 in September.
Jack is just awesome. Amazing energy and sense of humor. I am not kidding when there were hundreds coming up to him to just shake his hand, and say hello. He has a new book out.
When Lonnie Teper and myself were doing an interview with him on video, he actually looked at Lonnie's goatee, and asked him "Does that tickle the girls?".
-
I remember that last year Jack LaLanne said he will do a public boxing fight with another old-timer ,did he fight ?.... ::)
-
Wow-who is the hot bitch in the red?????
Franco has a nice hair transplant front hairline-but he looks pretty good for his age. Of cource he has to wear the "Franco Columbu-Mr. Olympia" polo shirt just in case no one recognizes him.

Moe? That is Abbas, of Pro Fight Supplements, who is sponsoring next week a boxing tournament on Venice Beach. With him is Jerome Ferguson, who is pretty entertaining, especially when these women just come up to him and ask him if they can feel him and his arms (yes, I got that on video).

Dude, this is Venice Beach. You find the strangest, most interesting people on the beach. A stroll down Venice Beach is quite entertaining.

I have no idea who Red is, but I want to marry her!

Good pics Captain Ron. More pics of the strange people at Venice would be interesting.

Indeed the lady in red is nice

Ah... she was on the cover of Ironman Magazine before, and she won the even on Muscle Beach at one time too...
The other people are representatives from Star Trac (the equipment in the pit). And also that is Gene Mozee.

I am with Joe Wheatley, the man who organizes, and spends countless nights awake hoping everything will do well, getting the city to agree on things, and going through the red tape.

1977 Mr. USA Kent Kuehn in the background in a few shots. Nice!
Ken is a cool old cat. He's nuts, but he's cool.
We actually trained at Muscle Beach in April. I'm not too sure why they changed out the floor and equipment. Everything was fine. Anyhoo...
They also doubled the price from $5 a pop to $10 a pop. >:(

He is at all of The MB events-he is buddies with Wheatly.

I see no semblance of a beach anywhere there...looks more like pier or worf.
besides it looks too crowded to have a good time and appreciate the environment
-
Ron, was any current IFBB Pro's there?? You'd think the IFBB would want some current Pro's there representing. Guess Muscle Beach is too old skool and not that important to the new boys.....always good to remember the people and places that came before you...maybe it's just me as I am a history buff.
-
damn, franco really let himself go....
i know we should not expect an Olympic body, but if you dedicate half your life to BB, you would think they would still work out and look half-decent.

Oh, it is right on the Pacific Beach. Next week, I will take some shots of the ocean to show you how far the boardwalk and Muscle Beach workout area is compared to the beach. I figure it is about 30 yards to the sand, then another 100 yards to the water.

Yes - is always around. Very nice guy.

This was a dedication ceremony. And I can honestly tell you, it is extremely hard to get down there, as there is no parking and tons of people on the weekend. Gold's Gym Venice is about 10-12 blocks or so away.
-

ive worked out there a couple of times. It doesnt get too crowded if your there early. but, its only like $5 for a day pass, so later on the blow hards come in for 2 sets of bench presses and stand around looking hard
-

lol
LaLanne has a great attitude and energy for any age. That new equipment and flooring will be real nice even though it was ok as it was, maybe that will help bring back some of it's popularity.

What about a guy like Lonnie Teper. I know he's a good MC, has the gig with iron Magazine, apparently shows up at all these bodybuilding functions, but has the man actually ever lifted a weight in his life? Not trying to be negative, I just don't understand people's fascination and obsession with bobybuilding without ever having lifted at least 1 weight before? Maybe someone here has pics when he was young...did he ever lift?

Probably more of a "muscle worship" type. These guys go ga-ga over bodybuilders so they get involved in the industry via photography, journalism, etc. We all know the real motive...

You don't see that kind of consistency anymore.

Cara Basso looks better as a brunette than a blonde. Almost looks like a totally different girl.

Here's a vid of her doing crunches on some weird crunch machine:

yeah lets just hope that he isn't a little coach or does work with the boy scouts..Ya just never know these days...One would think that LT could get himself a decent wardrobe...I calculate that the hat probably goes for no more then $5(probably a freebe) and the shirt goes no more then $10(also probably a freebe)
