So now that the Arnold is over, its time to start planning for the Olympia. September comes quicker than we know, so why not start planning now. Who is planning on attending? Sept. 24-25 .. Rumor has it, this is going to be the biggest Olympia booth for corporate to date ..

As I have posted in threads for the previous years, there are several hotels where the Monorail will take you directly to the LV Convention Center, and it's only like $10/day for unlimited use. One of the cheapest hotels is the Sahara, and it's only blocks from the Center. As far as the competitions, they are offering free shuttle service throughout the day from the Convention center to the Orleans (where the comps are).

For food, the Convention center has a decent food court, but w/the Monorail and the shuttles, you can hit many of the hotels pretty easily. Also, many of these same hotels offer a single price for eating ALL DAY at their buffets, ranging between $25 to $40/day. Pretty sweet deal.

Let me know if you have any questions......

Last years Mr O was a good one. The contest went down in history as a first ever Mr O REGAINING the title and another guy coming out of nowhere to NOT beat the current Mr O, but place 2nd...Mr O coming in 3rd, we never saw that coming.

the compound had brought out some die hard animals, and with the quality crew we had like Ox, Big Al, and the rest of the guys...we had some good energy heating up Vegas.

from what i'm hearing from corp, the cage will be off the hook.

i'm looking forward to our ABC on Sunday.

Absolutely - you know how things get done out here.....

In fact, I think that sounds like a great concept! Maybe that's a way to promote the Sin City ABC.... Mobster Animals!

Okay, picture this: a Breach-type drawing with guys in pinstriped suits with a rose on the left breast and with the sleeves ripped off! And instead of Tommy guns, they would be holding barbells. I mean, seriously, what is more Vegas than the "Association?"

Got to say that was the most fun I've had with my shorts on...LOL Great of Animal to sponsor it and thanks to whomever arranged it all. Lots of great energy and intensity and damn - I learned some new shit too! (like the right way to do front squats!)

Thanks for all the samples too - I've been using Pak for 5 years but great to see what else is there and what stacks well.

And of course great motivation to see the House training too - although it did make me feel small to look at his arms and calves - very, very very small - LOL Great guy - can't wait to see where he takes it next year!
