boy, you guys are really into bodybuilding around here.

how bout i post a picture of britney spears, i bet that will start up a 5 page discussion...

[phatchopper]

If I lived in New York I would be all about it but cant make the drive or fly right now. But you are definitely right about the britney spears thing

[BBAddict]

It looks like a lot of the guys that finish out of the top 5 will be there--Darrem Charles, King Kamali, Chris Cook, Nasser, Branch Warren. How much does their placing at a show like this help their chances at the really big shows? This show must not pay enough to get the big names. It seems like the big names -- Coleman, Cutler, Jackson -- only do the Olympia and shows that might payout big.

:rofl: Actually, it's not that funny. I think the sex posts get 20x more replies than nutrition or exercise posts. Sometimes I just wanna be done with it all, but something brings me back for the good posts that make their way through some of the nonsense.

The Big names have never really done the NY show. Branch Warren and chris cook are new pro's. Still a good show, non the less.

What do you think this is a bodybuilding/fitness board? No, I'm not going, I can't afford to go to the movies right now let alone an event in another state.

nassar is still competing? last time I saw a photo of him he looked like crap (relative to the rest of the top guys)

[Primal Instinct]

Is Victor Martinez still looking good nowadays? I'd expect him to finish high in that crowd if he looked as good as he did 2 years ago. Cris Cook and Branch Warren look good. I just can't stand Kamali. Also, is that Heiko guy that big albino german dude you posted a while back? I wish I had some cash but that show is not all that close for driving to. Arrr! Isn't there a pretty decent one in Toronto this year? That would be much more doable for me.

Who's the favs to win and place top 5?

The toronto pro is every year and is a pretty good show.
