I will be there - who else is more imporant than that?  Come on - it is an expo!

On a serious note, I figure about 30-40 thousand people, but nah... Jay Cutler (current Mr. Olympia) and others arent really important.  It is gearing also to be more MMA, but we shall see...

Only regret is that there is no pro bodybuilding contest here, I will truly miss it this year.

When you're there, be sure to check out "Fitness Workx" dropping kettle bells on their feet doing their kettle bell "demonstrations". They just learned to use them a couple of weeks ago and they're experts ::)

If anyone see this please give me a report. I need a good laugh !

There's nothing to eat around that area at lunch and dinner time  that's affordable.  The Pantry and that Italian place are just too expensive. Other than at that, you have to go downtown.

I tried it last year. Because they weighed me in at 220 with clothing I had to curl 55 lbs a day after doing arms. Burned like hell...but I ego made me do it. I recieved a FREE PASS yesterday in the mail so I might as well go.
