Yeah, yeah, I know, posting a thing about the FitExpo in the Strength Sports section of the forum, dangerous business, hold on before you start kicking my ass.
LA Convention center. Anyone else go to see the Strongman Competition, or the Scott Mendelson Bench Press Classic? The rest was just pansy ass Muscle&Fitness type stuff, pretty boys, and disgusting amounts of product advertisement, 98% of which was worthless, but those two events were fun, and the amateur powerlifting contest, that was pretty okay too.
I would have entered into the bench your bodyweight contest but I just got back from mono (started feeling better about two days ago), and I believe I have never had this much of a lack of muscle since I was in my first few months of weight training. Not sure of the validity of the “Enter in now, and win cash” contests though. For example, in the bench your bodyweight for reps thing, not even a fourth of the contestants went through a full range of motion (no locking out or didn’t even come close to touching chest) Don’t even get me started on the Teen Contests… sheesh.
Did you see the German twins??
