yeah like when Fouad took off at the Arnold cuz he didn't think he needed to come out for comparisons. lol with all his contest history you think he would ask someone in authority to find out for sure. he'll never live that down. made him look like a sore loser
Agreed, I don't know the full story, but it seems like he just thought he deserved better and left in a huff. I mean why not at least watch the rest of the contest? Why not check out the expo? Whatever, I hope he learned his lesson and realizes that leaving mid contest is generally not a good idea. Antoine seems to be the opposite when it comes to attitude, I think even if he places dead last at a show he'll take it and tell people something like "I came 15th runner up" LOL.

looking at the line up- Fouad should win this one...
I'm waiting to see how Antoine looks at the NY Pro, I'm really rooting for him in the Toronto Pro. But if Fouad comes in peeled he will take it. He's got a bit of an advantage over Antoine in terms of competition experience.

I hate those things. I don't understand why people insist on wearing them. If you want to lift barefoot please just take off your shoes! I don't like squatting sholess so I keep mine on, but my buddy likes to squat in his socks which is perfectly fine. But don't go out and spend money on something you can achieve as easily as taking off your shoes. Also, I remember a couple years back the US army banned these things, and for good reason.

While we're on the subject, is anyone else wary of taking several hundred percentages of anything on a daily basis? Does the body excrete the excess?
For some reason I always thought that taking hundreds percentages of vitamin c was fine, so I've been doing it for a year or so now. I mean if you drink 2 glasses of orange juice you're getting 200% of your DV of vitamin c right there... Montague, I talked with a friend of mine in the medical field and he said that if kidney stones run in your family then you should be more worried about consuming more vitamin c than "needed" by the body. In my case I should probably be a bit worried since my dad got kidney stones when he was in his early 40's

One thing I think you missed is the gaggle of teenagers (usually 4 or 5 of them) who hog a piece of equipment by taking turns using it. Their rest times are several minutes long because they have to wait for all 5 of them to get their set in.
X1000 I hate those little bastards! I think there should be an unspoken rule about not having more than 3 people training on the same piece of equipment at once. My gym has only one group of these kids (thank god) but I remember in university there would be a bunch of these guys who would come in groups of 10 and do bench press one at a time for 2 hours straight!
