Hey - not bad after a 14 1/2 hour flight, crossing the international time zone, and into the Southern Hemisphere!

TD,

Good luck with the show. Looks like an excellent line-up you have there. Try to get Dexter to eat some cookies.

I was discussing this with TrueGrit the other day: all bald and black.

Even harder.

They went from Columbus to Toronto, Did photo shoots for Muscletech, then Toronto - LA, LA - Sydney, Sydney - Melbourne.
About 24 hours in airports and planes.

Did anyone else enjoy Ronny Rockel's posing routine Saturday night, where he nearly fell over when trying to do a back double biceps. The funny thing is that it didn't go unnoticed by Arnold who pointed it out during the Sunday morning seminar and talked about the lack of posing practice in today's competitors. I have to agree with Arnold on this, how unathletic does it look to come out on stage at the Arnold and nearly fall over several times?

What do they do for gear when they have to travel?

He greatly improved his posing this time... You had to see him the last few years... I really thought he was going to fall, too.

I'm a bit surprised that none of them got caught by the airport security for bringing illegal drugs..

Francois Benfatto got caught a couple of years ago, carrying Ritalin and Valium IIRC. Some tabs even in his socks.

You'd have to be an absolute idiot to attempt to carry these days, especially to a country like Australia.

Looks like the only thing Dex fired up was a joint before this picture was taken.

They have had plenty of arrests in the past with this show and a nightmare for the promoter.Can you imagine the Bad Press with this shit.But like Bob says if you can't see any lumps it's all OK. ::)You gotta love Benfatto 6th place = 0$ the fine for getting busted with drugs $6000 now that makes it worth it.Hmmmmmm?

Everyone needs the money. Selling drugs is becoming to risky and hard.

LOL, I know, he looks pretty out of it. I know Dex has been "the man" against Tony Freeman on the pro stage but in that pic, Tony makes Dex look like Gary Coleman hehehe.

So true...pretty much the antithesis of the great 'Pumping Iron' era.
