Mr Olympia 2008

Here I am at the Olympia Expo 2008. I went down with Andy and we had a great time.

First, I did my Delts/Traps workout in the morning to get if out of the way - because I knew that I would come home very tired. I was able to increase the weight pretty good and hit all the reps. Nothing really was a struggle and I really feel things coming together again.

We left around 7:30 and hit breakfast - then were on the road by 8:00 am (7:00 vegas time). I normally take a pic of me flexing while driving - so who am I to knock with tradition - right?

It was really great being around so many other people with the same fitness desire - I mean at home, it's basically just me and the gym -- so it was good to mingle with these guys again. It opened at 10:00 and actually opened on time -- without anyone turning "green" (hulking out). By the time my first few bags were filled I looked at my watch and it was already 12:00 - 2hrs just blew by - so I headed to the car, put them in and headed back for more. I kinda got talked into doing pushups on stage -- I didn't mind because I knew you'd get something really cool if you did - anyway here I am doing 40 pushups in 30 seconds - incredible the power you get from having tons of people watching you! I did get some great supplements that I wouldn't had gotten if I didn't do it - and that will save me for a few months.

Andy was really hurting from his back and so had a wheel chair and was getting tons more stuff because everyone did the "feeling sorry" thing - oh well, it was cool - 'cause he gave me almost everything he got!

Here is a pic of me at the end, after 6 hours of walking around and below that is a pic of the "stuff" I got -- it was a good haul this year and can't wait for next!

Pump Hard everyone and stay strong!
