cellboyWe, my trainer, my best friend Carlos, went to San Jose to see this bodybuilding contest. Carlos and I had never been, so it was interesting. Aside from being there 2 hrs too early, we did get to see some of the vendors, get free mixing cups, protein bars etc.
Observations of the crowd and contest
1. Interesting crowd. Some of the men, beefy, hunks, or just too beefy (roids). Few of the women were that way too.
2. The women competitors were interesting. Actually most were not as huge as I expected. Some looked actually pretty good. So toned, ripped.
3. For some reason the women were more interesting to watch. Carlos and I were guessing which of the many series of competitors would win.
4. As for the men. Very ripped, some very huge. This ripped look, not really my cup of tea. But I know and respect the dedication they put into acheiving this.
5. I am not sure if I would go again. This show, was slow. Dragged on for hrs (I thought SF Imperial Cornation was slow. This was very slow)
6. We got to meet Ronny Coleman, Mr. Olympia. OMG! The biggest arms/biceps I have ever seen. That was a turn on. Also met and saw on stage Tony Freeman. Behind the table, not so big. But on stage, after pumping up. Wow. 6'2 of pure muscle.
7. While I was at a vendors area, I was looking for House of Pain Shirts, this muscle man, was on the other side, about 100 ft away just staring at me. I looked up, and he smiled. I smiled back. Hummm. Cruising at a straight show?
8. Carlos had a good point. Bet some of these men, muscle men, have an unwritten code. They do play around with each other, but sort of just not discussed. A "good old boys club" sort of thing. Like fraternities.
9. My trainer left earlier. So Carlos and I went to dinner, down the street at Original Joes. I had the Joe's Special.
10. We then went back to the show. Still dragging. So we left for home.
11. Now off to work :(
