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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Internet TV...

Interviewers were everywhere. Internet TV and streaming is here to stay, we need to get on board!

No not the girl....

Robert Kennedy, is the publisher of MuscleMag magazine, a big time body builder publication. Markets change and you have to change with them. Note the other journals he now publishes, including food and diet! This guy is smart. He will survive!

Never miss an opportunity...

This is Jay Cutler, the current 2010 Mr. Olympia. He is out on the floor with the fans, answering questions, taking pictures, and just being there. This is good, but really this is SMART!

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!

Lou was back!

Selling shirts and pictures...He and ARNOLD starred in the moive PUMPING IRON. Than Lou went on to star in the television series the HULK! He is 6'5"

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!

The Prize Money...

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!

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....

They build this!

The finest in materials and design. Their equipment is demanded in all organizations.
