i can dig the old school bodybuilding atmosphere but im not gonna go crazy over a crowded place of weirds, attentionwhores, rollerbladers, drummers etc
and thats the shit you linked to.

next you gonna show me videos of people selling fake watches at the beach

It's not overwhelmingly crowded, there's lots of space. Those who are open-minded will enjoy the alternative lifestyles found in Venice, part of why BBs like it.

No, for the many others here who are justifiably interested. You're hopeless, hold the views of a senior citizen-stick to your nearby shopping malls where everyone looks the same.

Venice is a three ring circus during most of the year. After the Memorial Day weekend to Oct. it can rock. Culture shock to most anyone outside of the LA area. If you don't like the weird and strange, be warned. Your not in Kansas any more. Well worth the experience though. (weather is usually the best then, but we have what is called California Eddy's. These are extended weather fronts that bring overcast and gloomy days any time of the year. No smog at the beach, smog is inland) Venice is much improved with lot's of million dollar condo's. The old Venice canals are cleaned up and pretty much a high rent area. Also a large artist colony is there. Venice and Santa Monica do have a crime problem. That's why there are so many walking and bike patrols along the boardwalk/strand. South Central (not that far away from the beach) gangs go there, usually on the weekends. If your driving at night around Venice, get lost and wind up near Lincoln Blvd & Washington Blvd, please turn around and go back the way you came. Nearing the Mar Vista area...local bad boy gangs.

Check out the Third Street Promenade for some prime looking hot women, who think that covering only 5% of their body is the thing to do. The majority of them look like a Victoria Secrets model and dress like one. Even some of the 50ish women look unbelievable. Drive down to Marina Del Rey for some great bars and eating places. Also have a ready supply of outstanding hottie's there. Take the PCH up to Malibu. Not much there really but at least you can tell people you were there. If going to Hollywood stay along Sunset Blvd.....best up scale clubs. Players and pretenders everywhere. Again ultra hot chicks.

The legend of the muscle mecca has pretty much been reduced. Go to Gold's by all means. A piece of BB'ing history. Take a workout, might be a lesser known Pro training next to you. Usually friendly staff, the older guy's seem to take time to talk about what was what back in the day. A Venice and Muscle Beach trip can be a life time experience for a lot of folks. Good Luck.

you can usually score some really good blow on lincoln and rose.

msbarbelle · « **Reply #34 on:** December 05, 2006, 04:46:30 PM »

muscle beach, gold's world all worth the day rate to say you were there, maybe take some photos.
do not go to the firehouse for a post-workout meal. service is sooo sloooow you could slip into a coma waiting for your order.

I was there a month ago. I worked out for 4 days. The equipment is old and beat. If your trying to c some pros or popular magazine people go in the morning around

Sounds like you know very much about the bodybuilding spots but have yet to show signs of interest to step into a gym and actually lift a weight, typical american.

I just choked on my cereal reading this post! classic alexxx!!

Will "world" Harris gives very informative guided tours of Gold's.... starting in the "posing room" and finishing up in the "gent's" toilet.

Again, Stay in Santa Monica you can jog the beach 2miles to golds. You're cardio, catch a pump, eat Firehouse or Omellate (sic) parlor, and walk back. You'll think you died and went to bodybuilder and chick heaven. Venice smells like incense and cigarettes. The chicks are all fat, or doped out, white as a ghost, or of the artsy kind you don't want to look at anyway. After dark, it is a ghetto.

Way too negative-getbig suddenly seems filled with indignant mormans.

Venice Beach is unique, has to be visited for a full day or two over a weekend. Plenty to do in a one-of-a-kind place. No one will bite either.

face it you're the only weirdo here that appreciate that atmosphere.

A Venice Beach trip is not worth travelling across country for, but if a trip takes you to the area go see it.

Never PAY to workout at Golds/World Gym - instead tell them you just moved to the area and you would like to try the gym out before joining, I did this with no problems.

My visit I saw Robby Robinson @ World gym, Gunter,Arron Baker, Barbarian brothers,Wil Harris @ Golds gym. I also saw Dorian at the Firehouse resturant.

Saw all the freaks down the Venice Beach board walk. Do not walk around Venice after sunset !!!

Wrong on all counts. Travelling there just to see it & LA is a nice trip, worth it especially for BBs.

As far as the "freaks" on Venice Beach, that's completely (negative) speculation. It's an eclectic crowd, a scene more original than most. No idea why anyone other than Bush voters would find that a problem, in fact the scene there is a big part of what made muscle beach great. Without that, wouldn't have been the same; I never heard Schwarzenegger or any of the current guys bitch and whine about it the way some some of the pussies here are, because it's almost all positive and interesting, especially if never experienced before.

I was there well after dark; no one was worried in the least. More speculation.
