Kurt Angle-Olympic Gold Medal winner...

...in freestyle wrestling during the 1996 Olympics selling stuff at the ARNOLD. I asked him the same questions I ask everybody else...is there any substitute for hard work...NO!

So to recap..
Apollo Ono...4- two hour training sessions per day, working up to Olympics
Kurt Angle...8-10 hour training sessions per day, working up to Olympics
Michael Phillips...six hour training session per day, working up to Olympics

Current  excercise fad CROSSFIT...two 45 minute session per WEEK...BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARNOLD is all washed up...

being Govenor that is, he is all out of terms! I reported about six months ago that the ARNOLD SPORTS FESTIVAL committee sent a team to "look at " Dhabi for a future event! At the Classic I heard that this event may be franchised internationally. We need to get involved with this. Arnold and his buddy are going places!

This was marketing brilliance!

Gaspari Nutrition is way ahead of the competition! Others do the logically next step Gaspari is 10 steps ahead, tremendous products, web site, web-TV, interviews etc. All the others booths had current and "old" and current bodybuidlers in the booth. Gaspari had "these" and a lot of them!

Poor Frank !

This is Frank Zane, three time Mr. Olympia, won the titles at 5'9" and a contest weight of 185 pounds. His booth was in the last roll and right across from a beef jerky booth the was three time bigger than his. He must have pissed somebody off!

They had a good crowd...

...at the amateur strongman contest. Are they stronger than powerlifters, no. Is it more exciting to watch, no. One thing that brings in sportsmen is PRIZE money and yes they have that!

International Powerlifting Federation

This the "competition"...we always get together to say "hi". It was interesting they asked about our WPC upcoming meet in AZERBAIJAN...come on over and see!!!!!

Everybody is there!

This is Dion Wessels. She is one of the driving forces for the success of the STRONGMAN events and she powerlifted in the APF.

Always changing for the better...

These were interesting, LIVE models of the sports at the Festival.

2010 ARNOLD SPORTS FESTIVAL

I remember when it was called the "CLASSIC", now there is over 40 sports and 18 of them OLYMPIC and 170000 fans in three days. There was 14000 sports men, women, children, young, old, and of all levels competing. The recent Olympics games had less than 7000. I drove six hours one way just to get there, but it is truely that much fun. With 650 plus vendors on hand, it was like Halloween for sportsman. My bags were filled with samples of vitamins, supplements, and current literature. I even finally broke down and bought a jacket....I'll never grow up....
