Why aren't the top Bodybuilding shows in the summer?
« on: June 08, 2009, 07:38:18 AM »
The Arnold is in  early spring when most bodybuilding fans are finishing their bulking phase and have maybe started their diets, so then at the expos everyone is still bloated from all the dbol and kfc from a long winter.  Then the O is in early fall when the summer diets are done and the winter bulk up sessions begin so any definition you had mid summer is fading fast.

The only reason I can think of is that the venues are cheaper in the spring and fall then mid-season.

quick question  When was the Olympia held in the 70's and 80's?

Sometimes a man meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.

Because the death rate among professional BB in the summer would be too high. Dehydration doesn't make a good pair with summer heat.  ;D ;D
