So I'm in Cali.....

[HTexan]

On vacation. I drove by Venice very quickly on the way to Santa monica beach/peir today. There like next to other.    I though Gold's gym was muscle beach? But it like 2 blocks from the beach.  Any way, tomorrow is was last day here, and was thinking I should workout there just to say I have. Do you guys think it is worth it? Is cormier still living there?
Maybe I can give chick's hair a thug for the haters. LOL j/k, I'm not touching that.

At least get some pics for us to caption, captain.

If you see Tom Prince in one of the stalls "working", say hi from us here at Getbig!

Of course you have to go to Gold's dude, cmon.  I was a member there for 4 years.  I've heard it's not the same anymore though.

MattT highly recommends contacting Will Harris while in Venice.

lol, maybe he will bite you and turn you into a X-Man mutant superhuman like himself.

the gym is still amazing as far as the equipment goes. the crowd just isn't what it used to be. if you can zone out all the metrosexuals, the fruity out of actors and the random reality tv "stars" running around working their core, it's still a great place to train.

Where did this Vampire bullshit about Will Harris arise from? What's the background?

He said it himself, in some interview.

BTW, i'm almost through with American Psycho, only about 50 pages to go. Great book, so sick towards the end i almost choked on my laughter and felt a bit ashamed while reading, absolutely great book.

I think i will read it again right after i finished it, first time i ever do that with a book.

[webcake]

Laughing from a book = fucking nerd.

Great u like it Donkey. What I find even more fascinating than the violence is how intense the inner emptiness of the protagonist is captured, and the message that being a member of High Society doesn't equal a satisfied and fulfilling life.

What I can also highly recommend from Easton Ellis is "Glamorama", give it a try, my favourite next to American Psycho.

Translation: I'm too stupid to read, and isntead of being ashamed even proud of it.

Yes, it's hilarious how stupid and shallow all these people are and the "cuts" in the book are like in a movie, this style of writing is amazing.

what a sad self owning there.

I liked reading American Psycho

I also liked A Clockwork Orange as well

[HTexan]

I might drop by to check it out, IDK yet tho. I'm going to go to disney land again today for sure.

Haha....

[wild willie]

will harris is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet

he trains there in the afternoon

you will see him pedaling on a stationary bike, up on the cardio deck!

great guy to ask about training, cardio, diet.... etc

make sure you get to max muscle, just down a few blocks from Gold's

then get over to the firehouse on rose and main streets

buffalo burgers or even a broccoli egg white scramble

they have freshly squeezed orange juice as well

be prepared for a drop in fee though @ Gold's.......unless you are a member of a Gold's in your hometown......if so, just show them proof of you membership and you should get in for no charge!

Venice sucks...its always been all the top bodybuilders go there to get into the scene maybe so in the 70's and 80's. I thought the same but now Golds is like any other gym nothing special just hype. I was disappointed in the whole experience even seeing and talking with top bodybuilders very depressing.

Golds might suck compared to what it used to be, but its still Golds.  I trained there for a year and loved it; its still an awesome atmosphere. 

[timfogarty]

yes, cause they don't have supplement stores in other parts of the country

then get over to the firehouse on rose and main streets

with hundreds of restaurants in Venice and Santa Monica, I don't understand the fascination with The Firehouse.   The Rose Cafe across the street I do enjoy.  And the Mexican restaurant on Rose up towards Lincoln is pretty good too.

Agreed, though it would be better just by being closer to the beach like the old one was, it makes a difference. Don't go there expecting top pros and it's still worth a visit at least to look around if not to workout, they'll usually let you wander through.

Same thing for Venice; some dislike it or say it's not what it was but bottom line it's a great place to visit on weekends and still has good BB flavor as well as many other things.

These days only 3rd-tier pros move to Cali and train at Gold's...  RIGHT BOB?

Good point Goat = Kai hated it there and had to resort to Grapefruit.

Well, I didn't go to Venice. When to Santa monica bench and ate at bubba gump shrimp. Really good food. Then when to hollywood and the strip. Very dissappointing. When harely-davidson shopping with my dad and bro as the women went shopping.  End up going back to anaheim. When to Disneyland in the afternoon. Disneyland owns Disney world so bad, it is not even funny. I got an Indiana hat. LOL 
BTW, I just when to the in N out drive thru.  in n out sucks. Whataburger ftw!!!
