After making history at the 2009 Olympia, Jay Cutler visited PBW Radio for his first interview following his 3rd Sandow. Jay tells Dan & Bob how he was motivated by all of the non-believers and he covers a variety of topics ranging from Hany Rambod’s assistance, Phil Heath’s future, the fulfillment of his destiny and his plans for 2010. The PBW Olympia show also has a report directly from Olympia head judge Jim Rockell. Rockell reports that Dexter Jackson was as good as he was last year, but still not good enough to beat Jay.

Here are two more parties that we are planning to go to.  The Official Flex Bikini Model After Party, and the Bodybuilding.com / Ultimate Nutrition After Party.  Here are the flyers for the two parties.

With over 100 bikini beauties signed on to compete, the 2009 FLEX Bikini Model Search Championships – presented by Amazon.com and brought to you by Ed Hardy- will undoubtedly be bigger and better than ever. So it seemed only fitting that the Official FLEX Bikini Model Search After Party would  be the biggest and best post-Olympia bash in Sin City!

Located on the 64th floor of the ultra-swanky The Hotel at Mandalay Bay, MIX Lounge will play host to the official FLEX Bikini Model Search after party, presented by promoter extraordinaire Jason Dihr. Hundreds of models, athletes and celebrities in the bodybuilding industry are expected to turn out for this can’t-miss event! Rub elbows with the elite, and – if you’re lucky – you just may have your picture taken with one of our beautiful FLEX Bikini Models and appear in an upcoming issue of FLEX magazine!

But that’s not all! Supplement giant ALR Industries pumps the volume up another decibel by hosting their post-Olympia blowout at MIX Lounge as well.  This is without a doubt one you won’t want to miss, as the FLEX Bikini Models turn the heat up to unbearable levels at MIX Lounge in Las Vegas on Saturday night! A limited number of tickets to this exclusive event will be available. Stop by the FLEX booth at the Olympia Expo for more information.

For the Bodybuilding.com / Ultimate Nutrition After party, this is also an special party at the XS Nightclub at the new hotel called Encoure. Another excellent party to check out.  Check out the Ultimate Nutrition or Bodybuilding.com booth for more information on this after party.

Bodybuilding.com has an excellent interview with Robin Chang as he discusses how the Olympia weekend is run, what fans and competitors can expect come September 24 and what he, as the man in charge, must do to ensure all goes as planned.
