Bodybuilding in USA

Hi NZBB people, we are in the home of bodybuilding Los Angeles at one of the NPC bodybuilding shows. This is not the first time we have been in the USA going to bodybuilding shows. Today’s show was combine with the IFBB PRO Figure woman with NZs own Pro Figure woman Jacqui J she was up against with one AUS woman and some of the top USA woman. The NPC shows that I have been to over the years are run in a way that NZ shows should be run ( extremely well organized ). We will be heading to the Olympia next week so will keep you all posted ( talk is Jay Cutler will take it out again ) but some of the people would like to see Dennis Wolfe will.

We have been training at the Koloseum Gym which is owned by Milos Sarcev’s. They were good enough to let us have 2 weeks temporary membership for $55-00 USD. This gym was once a Gold’s Gym. I will take some pix of the gym and post then up so you can see what it’s like.

I have sent some pix to the boss for him to post them up as it will not work for me. You will see some of the gym we have been going to in LA and also of the NPC comp that was on saturday. In the comp pix there is some masters men with women bodybuilding and a long with women figure. you will see that the women figure wear a one piece and a two piece at pre judging. the figure class is very big over here as they do not need to do any routine where us all the bodybuilding classes have to. today is monday and we are all of to Vegas on wednesday for the big show so will post when we get there.

Would make the shows run faster over here if we did this in nz also.

I dont think they do any compulsory poses either. Just quarter turns.

It makes you wonder what the point is really, all that training & you don't get to show it off.

Hi all today at the gym one of the boys said to me about a reel good gym to go and have a workout at as it was going to be closed down at the and of the month and here is a note I pickup there.Once known as a bodybuilders gym started by Dr. Scott Connelly, the creator of the nutritional supplement of the same name, Met-Rx has well served the community and while most of the bodybuilders are gone, you will find a strong base of locals, reminiscent of "Cheers". Met-Rx catered to a wide variety of workout styles that ranged from machine lifting and cardio machines to powerlifting, Olympic-style lifting and even some guys training strongman-style. If it sounds like I am speaking in the past tense it is because, sadly, Met-Rx Fitness Center is closing it's doors for good on September 30, 2008.

The good news is Nico, the man who has run Met-Rx for the last 10 years may soon have a new gym in a new location.

I have some pix of it and will get the nzbb boss to post them up.
