Hardly ever rains there. I go to LA a couple of times a year and stay out towards Manhattan beach way. I used to be out there 12 weeks of the year for a few years. I can't remember ever seeing real hard rain there.

Its part of the City of L.A. Park system. They do have a modest membership fee to use the facility. The history here is unlike any other place in our sport with the possible exception of Joe Gold's original gym up the street. The current site was moved there years ago from up the beach in Santa Monica. The original outdoor gym and the current has seen most every big name Bodybuilder train there at on time…"The Pit". No chrome or pazazz glitz….just HISTORY. Just ask fellow GB member Stunt up at the top of this category….or me. I went to Muscle Beach first in 1951.(I'm the kid in the stripe T shirt sitting on the stage) I have seen Reeves, Scott, Zane, Drapper, Arnold, Columbo, Joe Weider,Ferrigno,Ric Drasin, Coleman, and dozens of other stars in the Pit and/or on the stage. If you want your 15 min. of fame, show up in the pit on a sunny weekend in near contest condition, pay your one day dues, and you will have your pic taken a hundred times by tourists, the foriegn press and local paparazzi. You might even get an interview by Japanese, French or Greek TV as I have. Your physique will be shown around the world. Show up on Memorial Day, Labor Day or July 4th and you will see 2,000 + people in the audience going crazy nutz for Bodybuilding and the contests, albeit amatuer and Regional in quality.

MR!!!!  Thanks for the 'mention' which was a 'kick to my memory banks" sorta!

I'll respond to some of what you  mentioned under the old (but apparently still very popular)"MUSCLE BEACH HISTORY" topic.

Thanks, MB!

I trained there. The location is different than the orinigal pumping Iron muscle beach,,,,that was located in santa monica, the new one (in the video) is venice beach. Its mostly full of homeless people/drug addicts etc. Few tourist bodybuilders but from what Ive seen no real locals train there.

Why train there when golds is just a couple of blocks away? Rusty shitty equipment, sexual predators and junkies all over the place, homos hanging out staring at the people lifting and the biggest weirdos in LA "training" there.

Oh, because they didn't get enough hugs growing up and need more attention than a 13 year old girl..

I don't know why but I feel embarrassed for these guys. Drive over to Pacific Avenue to work out at the cheesiest "Gym" (if you can call it that) ~ they act like a bunch of little girls just short of pulling out their cell-phones...

And then the noises they make... WTF? Sounds like fat people fucking or something. Figures Piana has to lead the pack.

Great video, very entertaining. Nice interaction between the public and the athletes. That's what bodybuilding is: a chemical freak show providing entertainment for a limited number of people

He has lack of flexibility = cannot reach the correct spots for a corrective injection of "things".

Maybe his woman will also not do this for him and/or is too stupid to follow the instructions with sufficient precision and accuracy.

Such is the life of a solder from time to time in the modern war against the iron.

These are my theories anyway.

Gal - you think these guys are a threat? Hell, Piana can barely breathe. They represent all that is wrong with bodybuilding today. They are piles of shit. More oil than Saudi Arabia. Pathetic strength to weight ratios. And so insecure that if you told them they looked small they'd meltdown.

Oh, because they didn't get enough hugs growing up and need more attention than a 13 year old girl..

My point exactly. It's the pan-handling "boardwalk" that just stinks of tourism and dope. Fuck that. Not classy.

There are some good musicians and some cool acrobatics shows that go on, but basically, that particular gym is kind of a joke. (Sorry Chic, I know the "Bodybuilding.com" sign is up on the fence) ~ has nothing to do with you, or at least I'm not intending to bash on you. It's good advertising, just... I don't know. I just felt like posting up since I've been there on the boardwalk so many times.

There' some cool shit out there, but there's always someone trying to slam a CD in your hand and then ask for money after you are already holding it, really pushy pan-handlers... makes bodybuilding look bad in that location.

Just my un-important opinion.. ya know?

O.K. ~ If that was directed at me I guess I should explain myself with a little more clarity. I mean, I am a bodybuilder. I'm not threatened by other bodybuilders, I mean Geez, after this life we live, why would you be scared of a narcissistic fool like yourself? I don't want to be hypocritical.

Here's what I meant about the "girly" comment. When girls are uncomfortable, they grab their cell-phones and do stupid shit. This is all I was trying to bring attention to. They are not comfortable there. They look out of place. They are nervous. That's all.

Has nothing to do with hiding behind a keyboard, but hey, maybe some others made comments that I didn't read. I don't know.


Us bodybuilders really aren't your typical "tough guys' ~ we just act like it.

If my point was missed, so be it.

I'd always groan when out of town visitors asked to see the mile of homeless junkies, fat Midwestern tourists and dope shops. I have to say that its fun walking a 130 lb mastiff down there who barks at black and homeless people, watching all the scum, gangsters and cd peddlers scramble to get away always made me smile.

Anyway, piano has mental issues I think that's been pretty clearly established here, maybe in his younger days it would be something to be jealous of but not in his final form
