Weider Offices look nice. I hope Peter McGough continues to advocate for a bodybuilding hall of fame. Nothing too fancy but something small would really be nice.

Dave, getbig is getbig. You really can't compare it to other message boards.

Where is the Hall of Fame.  Or was that it on the walls.

There's not one currently, Peter McGough has worked on getting one built.

There are bad sides and good sides. It's all upto you how you look at things.

And just what are the 'good sides'?

I think it would be cool to check out the Weider offices but you'd think if you were visiting the man in charge of bodybuilding you'd wear some nice clothes and not some gym t-shirt or a horrid wrinkled dress-shirt that's 2 sizes too big.

It was also weird to see Weider just sitting there while 3 guys posed topless for him. I understand doing it for photoshoots and stuff but if some weird old guy invited me into his office and told me to take my clothes off i'd be gone faster than Titus' muscle without the sauce.

Is the Weider headquarters its own building or is it just a couple of floors of an office building.

The Weider headquarters is a stand alone building, two floors, in the heart of a prime area, called Warner Center. It looks pretty cool.

i saw one pic with a lot of covers on the wall, is there like a wall with all the past covers

There are various areas with magazine on the walls, but not sure if there is a place with every single one.

how can you not laugh at that statue that Weider had done of himself being five times the size as he really is,

Because the statue looks good, and it isnt as big as you think. If someone stand by it, it is pretty normal size.

Well, there is being one worked out right now, hopefully, right on Venice Beach, where they can set one up. I know a few people on the committee, and I have a copy of the plaque, which will look quite nice if they can get it done. The problem is, I think there are now three various hall of fames for bodybuilders (Muscle Beach, IFBB, AMI-Weider's, maybe more), so who will decide who will get it if this one is actually built in Venice.

Well - at my offices, sometimes you have guys a few weeks before the show wanting to show their physiqe and get a real criticism to see what they need to shore up in the last week or so.  It isnt anything different than showing your physique off a day before the show, etc.   This is bodybuilding, and one of the ideas is when you get on stage, you show your physique.

True. I guess Weider just creeps me out a bit.  ;D

To see the actual fake bust of Joe Weider's head on Robbie Robinson's torso...

To see the filing cabinets holding the actual slave-labor contracts for IFBB pros...

To see the next article about Ben Weider's honorary awards being written...

To hear the advertising pages for goat whey protein being sold at a bulk discount for the next "Biggest Issue Ever"...

To see the original photograph of Joe Weider stroking Shawn Ray's face...

You guys are taking this shit too seriously.

What's the big deal at this point about the "Weider offices"?  True, at one time long ago it was heart of an empire that WAS bodybuilding, including publishing, supplements, exercise equipment, and the IFBB itself, but that time is long past.  Now it is a mere division office of a Florida-based tabloid publisher that's about to go belly-up.

It is cool to check out. The artwork, scupltures and other forms of art make it more unique. It is nice to see various inputs of the industry, from magazines to manufacturers to bodybuilding.

People living their dreams. Magazine and supplement endorsements. Prize money (which can be improved). Your name getting into mainstream media. A stepping stone for future endevours like movies and modelling. The list goes on.

I would say that 99% of the people who are into the sport of bodybuilding, if asked, if they would like to check out the Weider Publishing Empire, would say yes.   I know that it was an honor to check out the place the first time I went to the building.

The only thing that strikes me about those pictures is how badly dressed those 3 are, i mean silvio sangria looks absolutely ridiculous, his clothes are about 10 sizes too big for even him and he didnt even bother to iron them.

How strange  :D
