Ryan and John Take Over Columbus



This year, John and I will be embarking on a journey to the armpit of America- Columbus, Ohio, to check out the Arnold Classic Sports festival. "The Arnold" as it's called, is not only one of the premier bodybuilding shows in the country (2nd only to the Olympia,) but it is also host to the world's largest sporting festival. Featuring 17,000 athletes competing in over 50 sports, the action doesnt stop.

The cool thing about going to the arnold, is the grand production that is put on at the expo- where the supplement companies, who basically keep bodybuilding alive, get together and throw supplements, t-shirts, women, backpacks, girls, females, and fitness chicks at your every day joe shmo bodybuilding fan.
Como se dice, "Boy-ya-yoing!?!"
This picture was formerly in the witness protection program.
My mom keeps this pic on the fridge. really.

The lineup is not as stacked as in years past, we wont see dennis wolf, phil heath, dexter jackson, or jay cutler. But John and I are really amped to see kai greene take on victor martinez. Victor is coming off patellar tendon knee surgery, so it'll definitely be interesting to see who comes out on top. Kai is large and in charge, and working with Charles Glass, so we should see some refinement.
My money's on this guy.

I'll be back with a prediction post and later with pics/vids from the show/expo.
