How many are planning on driving to my neck of the woods for the Arnold? I live in Columbus and try to make it ever year. Last year was a no go due to a new job but I am definitely hitting it this year. I have been following the volunteer list for the Vegas show and really hope they do this for the Arnold. I may try and get tickets to watch the actual finals in Bodybuilding if I can get tickets. I know it is early but we could always do a meet up down here for this weekend. I will be taking off of work for sure.

I wouldn't miss it. There are many of us who are die-hard and go every year. I've been going since 2007.

Normally chi-town rolls about four deep, and off the top of my head I can think of over a dozen people I see there every year, from all over the country. You will not be alone brother, that is for sure.

Usually you can find many of us at Metro Fitness on High & Long from Thursday night on. Normally we eat somewhere in a big group afterwards.

Driving out from Indy, got my shirt from last year's Cage already set aside to throw on and support Ox taking the stage in Columbus again. Evan's got it this time around!

I'm new to the forum but I think I have made it to the expo the last every year but one in the past 8 years. I'm in the Columbus area up in Worthington and used to hit that Metro Fitness during lunch when I worked downtown. That place is the best place to go train during the expo since it's only about 2-3 blocks from the convention center.

I usually volunteer to do wristbands in the morning on Sunday as the Pump n' Run is going on and then hit the expo for the rest of the day. I know I'll be stopping by the cage as I always do, it's always the best one on the floor and the most motivating. I'd love to go to a meetup prior or during the ASF.

Cool, I'm down by the McD's and carwash on Worthington-Galena and close to the Bud plant. I used to go to DSCC a long time ago when I lived over in Whitehall after I finished active duty and was going to school while in the guard. It's a really nice place and you can't beat the price. Perhaps I can see if I can get a week pass sometime up at Metro Fitness in Worthington for you and we could get a few workouts in together if our schedules sync up.

I'm in. March is usually an awesome month for me. Arnold right at the beginning, then a huge business conference (this year I was in New Orleans, next year in Vegas) at the end of the month.

I believe if you have a retired military ID you can still get on here. I have a kid due in 3 weeks but I would be up for that in the future. It seems like everyone lifts at Metro Fitness.

Made it to Thursday, Friday, and the ABC Saturday last year. Was the best weekend of the year, heck even my GF agreed it was the best weekend of the year and she didn't even come lol.

Hit up BD's BBQ after with everyone Thurs, and I think Fri? I forget what we did Friday.

I live in Groveport so 20 from the Expo etc. always take Friday off spending the whole day at the cage and maybe walk around like once. Saturday, we hit up the cage for the mid day activities, usually head home to get a bite to eat before the ABC, then Sunday hit it up all day at the cage alone.

Last year was amazing and I can only imagine where this year will go.

I train at Metro in Worthginton/Westerville whichever you wanna call it, and the local athletic club down by my house if my training partners aren't around.

Madcat, when do you normally hit up the Metro in Worthington? Lately I've been training there 5-6pm on weekdays and late Sunday mornings before football.

Wish I could go to Metro it is close to the house but...the gym on base is free. If everyone ever wants to do a Columbus ABC prior to the Arnold let me know and lets set it up.

I havent been hitting it lately, because my spotter has been working too late hrs, so I go home and hit the ath. club back home.

When I do it is 5:35pm when hit the floor until 6:20pm. No cardio there.

I wear animal gear only in the gym so you cant miss me. Always have a Uni. shaker too.

I dont hit weekends up there unless I am working which I don't do often.
