My training partner just got us tickets to the Arnold Classic (AWSOME), is anyone else plan on attending? Or has anyone been there before and got any good advise?

Dude, You Rock! My local gym owner went last year and brought back a ton of pictures. Looks insane and hope to attend soon.

You have to be excited for that trip. Think of the motivation you will have after that one!!

Have a great time and maybe do a recap for us and some pic!

Hey, Is the Hersheys chocolate tour worth the trip? I went when I was like 4 years old and always wanted to go back. Do they still do the tour and all?

On an Arnold topic, I bought a DVD and TV for the home gym and have Pumping Iron looped while I work out. Very inspiring!! Wait till you see him in person!


I love it when the guy is doing squats with 315 and gets 9 reps done...Arnold says "2 more more reps no matter what" and then follows it up with "come on, lets get serious!!"

Best F'ing line in the movie...

yes they still do tours, the plant is like 5 mins from my work and I always smell chocolate. I love that flick, I met Arnold when I was in the Gulf during the first Gulf War, I was in the 101st and we were using sand bags and rebarr to work out, Arnold donated like 10 sets of 300lbs weights and bench's. He is not as big as alot of people think anymore, but still a very impressive person. DUDE, I AM SO AMPED!!!!!

I was just thinking about that part in the movie about the squats, that guy like has muscle failure and falls over.....Arnold just looks at him and steps over him...waits a second and then offers him a hand up. Man you gotta love that!!!

The best line in the movie is "the pump to me is like Cumming..Imagine it for me I am cumming in the gym..I am cumming at home... and I am cumming at night...." THat is a sweet line.

Thats the part with the "Let's get serious"

With the cumming part, he is just SOOO damn happy when he says it.

Also love the B-Day party!!

I've been once (or twice?).

Arnold walks through the exhibition with a bunch of security guards clearing the way. Its' quite a spectacle.

The whole weekend is a spectacle, moreso than the Olympia. Good times.

Arnold is numero uno,
