Bodybuilding. They look like they lift and they’re not wearing stripper heels.

I’m jealous, really wanted to see the Hummer Deadlift but we arrived at like 11:30 at night on Friday.

Note to self… when visiting the States do it around the classics.

Keep the pictures coming guys! This is great.

I think this is Johnnie Jackson? That company had by far the biggest booth with the most celebs.[/quote]

I think that’s David Henry.

Awwww I wish I would’ve gone. We should get a whole bunch of people from T-Nation to meet down there next time. would be awesome. we’ll start our own booth, we’ll get some random strippers and a midget or two. ours will definitely be unique.

I take it they weren’t giving technique lessons; split the stone in half with your foot placement and your arms and you’ll get it next time.

They were actually giving some pretty in depth coaching but it’s a really weird motion at least for me.

It took my roommate who deadlifts 585 9 tries or so but he eventually got it.

Jay cutler never looks happy and needs a hair cut, he looks like a wanker.

Apart from that I wish we had stuff like this in Australia I want a booth girl.

With a name like that, he just had to win!
Great pics though, if I’m ever in the States I must try and plan it around the Arnold

This was Greg Doucette’s opening deadlift of 583. This guy was in 181 and you only get a vague impression of just how much mass he was carrying from the picture. He put up 588/506/616 for a 1710 total.

The man was crazy- he’d competed in the Con-Cret Raw comp the night before and got 467/412 (!!) /583 for a 1466 raw total. Two powerlifting comps in two days, and he was two weeks out from a bodybuilding competition!

He was by far the most impressive lifter that I saw at this meet.[/quote]

Hes from up home here in Nova Scotia, the first time I seen him was similer to that him being only a few weeks out of a body building competition and tearing up at the powerlifting meet we had in truro. I also seen him at the canadian nationals when they were here in halifax. he a pretty amazing athlete

Yeah, that blonde’s got a wedding ring on, and If I found a punter doing that to my wife, I would not be amused…
