      Why do you go to the Olympia?

      For the men's show?
      For a vacation?
      To see the expo and all the supp companies?

      If ya used to go but aren't goin' this year, why not?

      Funds prevent me from going... But... I'd go for the expo (Especially "the Compound"...), the Men's show, and the ABC...

      It works out well for my girlfriend and I. She loves Vegas and loves vacations. I would never spend money on a vacation as i see a million other expenses in life that have to be met first.

      But i love bodybuilding, have loved it and been in love with it for 17 years, and this is the opportunity to kill her vacation bird and my bodybuilding bird with one stone. this years o lineup will be insane, as well, the chance to go to the expo and an ABC, for someone who is originally from a farm town of 50 people in northern manitoba, canada, seems like a dream, one i wont wont to wake up from when in vegas

      The ABC and the mens show.

      As cool as the show is, lifting with the animal crew and the sponsored athletes takes it to a whole new level.

      I went to my first bodybuilding show March 2009. I had never been to the Arnold although I have lived in Ohio my whole life. I had just started working out in hopes of losing weight from having my 6 yes I said 6 children!! When I found the cage, it literally changed my entire life! It made me believe I COULD DO ANYTHING. I came home, got on the forum and have been lifting since. I could not even imagine a woman lifting that bar in the cage, today I can bench 140lbs!!! Went to my first ABC this weekend after House's show. Being around the ANIMALPAK family keeps me motivated and driven!!! Going to the Olympia would be AMAZING. I simply, can not afford it. Damn kids, want to eat 3 times a day lol..
