People outside the NPC here in LA always ask me if I compete in one of those shows at Venice beach.  My relatives would see those shows mentioned on the local news stations and try to find me on tv.  I've never competed in them and never plan to. Or these black church shows we have here in LA.

A gym occasionally I go to, Black Diamond Gym promotes it. They encourage me to enter but I only compete in NPC shows.

That was actually my HS  football rule for all backs and recievers. Coach never let us do squats, Leg Presses, not even leg extentions. He had us run laps on the days we didn't lift in the offseason.

I have been there lately because I don't have my membership no. and there are 4 guys in their company computer (Atari 400) with my name and it takes the guy or lady in the office 30 mins to look it up.  Like I said I love that place but it needs a major upgrade.

Maybe if the SR citizens (over in the reserved area) washed  there funk areas it wouldn't smell like mildew. But you know that place well also. But if they made any upgrades, the price would rise and the crack addicts, 250 lb single moms and crips and bloods would have nowhere else to train.

There all cool in there.   They are the only ones who train w/o talking most of the time. I've never had problems with the latino's at Black Diamond....I like one hot latina in there.    I don't know her name............its likely Maria though.

But don't you miss the 300 lb aerobic class at The Diamond?  I actually have a great FREE gym and at my Apt. at work. But I sometimes get bored.  Wait Wilshire and Westwood  isn't that where the cops are wooo'pin up on student protesters?

"I don't do squats because I've bad knees" (they prefer hacks or smith machine squats with 1 plate)

I dislike people on the never-ending search for the magic pill (keyword never-ending)

"I can still beat ye' at arm rasslin"

"you're big but I bet I'm stonger"

"beat up my ex"

"I've got more farm strength"

"I bet you can't run as fast as me"

"have you ever heard of Jay Cutler, I think he's on steroids or something"

Have you been to THE MECCA lately? I haven't been there since 2002.  I am seriously thinking if going back.   Even if its 90 a month.

My pet peeve is that someone always know someone who knows someone who knows someone that was a bodybuilder or was a serious lifter  ::) ::)

Anyone remember Dennis Wolf's encounter with a "fan"?  They asked him how much does he bench he answers...they say all that's all   my nephew is bigger than you and he can bench more. Dennis answers  "I'll look out for him at this years Olympia!"

"Can I borrow your toothbrush?" always gets me riled a bit. Especially when I happen to be using it at that time. Difficult to say, "NO!" though when she outweighs you by a hundred pounds or more.

Or the guy who trains at Gold's Venice in the morning and then sits by the beach in the afternoons holding a big sign asking for 'Pot Donations' and gets pissed off if you offer him less than a buck or two.
