Thanks

In California here a few weeks back, he got 5th place, but wasn't 'on'.    He toned it correctly for this past weekend, and won the Pittsburgh contest.

Yep, you are right...

Eventually, we will have a Men's Physique Board here .... soon

No, this video is not funny.  It is also being featured on YouTube's home page of mine.

Still, nothing funny at all.

From Musclephone...

"Tanji Johnson will not be competing in the Arnold Classic Brazil".


Told due to VISA issue.

From our favorite 'phone' down in Brazil...


"As it stands right now Cedric WILL compete in the Arnold Brazil but nothing official yet"

A-Team Style with IFBB Pro Stacey Alexander

So it looks like Cedric McMillan missed the competitors meeting in Brazil, and therefore can't compete, as of right now, according to various tweets out there. But he is there!

So will he be on stage at prejudging?   My guess is that he will... but he better have a good excuse as to why he missed the competitor meeting...

I DONT care what the average age of was in the past, but in this day and age, for an adult, it is 18.  EIGHTEEN.  EIGHT-TEEN.  Get it.

It is pathetic when kids under 16 even think about it because they feel pressured.  Enough.

Girls at the age of 12 is BULLSHIT!  Get it!  I have a daughter who is 9, I have lot's of friends of have 12 year old daughters.
 They are capable of a lot of things, but their mind is not their yet. Simple as that. 

We live in an age where we have been enlightened to understand that our kids can go to school, can learn to be anything they want, can take their time to enjoy life.

400 years ago people thought the earth was flat.  They thought they needed to make sacrifices of people to earn the trust of gods.

150 years ago, they never thought they would be driving in cars, in planes.

50 years ago, what the hell was a computer

20 years ago, an Ipad.

So screw this crap, we are not going back to where freaking idiots ruined their kids because they thought it was the way it should be.

Don't we have enough of this around the world now?

Maybe in 20-30 years, they might be enlightened enough to get it soon too.

And this has NOTHING to do with religion, just ignorance.




So STOP WITH ANY FREAKING FORM of CHILD anything on this board.

It isnt the place, nor do I want it here.     18+ is what I like.  End of story.

Yes, was a crazy day.  Mainstream media picked up the Boston Bomber stories on the boards and linked to it.  It was either that, or the incredible pre-story on the Europa Orlando Show of Champions!

Congratulations to Troy Alves on his win!

I did go to the Joe Weider Memorial Tribute event in Santa Monica last Saturday, and it was a bigger event than I thought it would be.  About 350 people, a lot of family members, but also also of people that worked or knew Joe.  There were a lot of great stories and reflections of Joe, and each person making them was quite interesting.  I actually learned a lot.

Here are some of pics from the event.

The 2013 IFBB Europa contest in Orlando begins today (prejudging on Friday, finals on Saturday).  Last night were the athlete meetings. Here is one of the links to view them

 (Way too muscular for men's physique here)

Another media person that spews out misinformation. Sad.

Funny... Lulu is most definitely a real woman, and I didnt speak to her today, but the idea of her letting others use a shared account just doesnt work for me.

Ok, fine - will tell you that all three of them are women.  So stop being so obsessed. 

Yes, will call her on Monday.  Late here right now, and I have the IFBB/NPC Los Angeles Grand Prix to cover tomorrow (300+ competitors), and heading to the Joe Weider Memorial on Sunday (invitation, but will take pics for Bodybuilding.com)

Lonnie Teper will be hosting the event.  Lots of people coming to honor Joe.


From LT -- "Arnold, who called Joe Weider his "dear friend and mentor", will be giving the main address Sunday at the Weider Memorial in Santa Monica. I'll be hosting the event, which is being streamed, live, on Bodybuilding.com at 1 pm (PST). Some of the industry's major figures will be flying in from all over the world to pay tribute to the Master Blaster."

You would be amazed on how many people think they are dudes, the same people, and more.  Kinda funny.

Sarah ... ah... the days of Jay and Optimum...

Lulu, Booty and Sarah are not the same people.  Boy, some of you love the conspiracy theories out there. 

Heading to the IFBB / NPC Los Angeles Grand Prix in Culver City tomorrow to take lots of pics.  300+ NPC competitors, plus 34 IFBB mens and womens physique competitors.  See some of you there!

Duh.  Joe Weider was buried in Westwood Memorial Park in a private funeral.   This is a memorial, reflecting various people and speakers on how Joe changed their lives.  It is an honor to go.

A special way to get a six pack...
