Arnold Schwartzenegger Fitness Expo:

I worked the Arnold Fitness Expo in Columbus this past weekend. My fiance's Aunt works for the company that organizes it, and since it's such a huge event they always need extra help and we get the opportunity to make some extra money.

This was the biggest year they've had there. I saw Brady Quinn and yelled "screw DA, that's your job Brady!" to which he laughed at. I also saw Matt Hasselback, Jay Cutler and Larry Fitzgerald there.

I saw Kelly Pavlik walk by with his security. I guess Arnold was supposed to present him with a special award, but made him wait 3 hours so Pavlik left. When Arnold finally showed up, he said Pavlik had to leave for a "family emergency.":D Typical politician.:D

Outside of those guys, I saw Wolf, Mayhem, and that weird looking blonde guy from American Gladiators (the new show) and Sarah got a pic with Mayhem. Oh yeah, saw Arnold from a few hundred yards away too, but in past years I've been within a few feet of him.:cool:

Pretty cool, and it's probably the best place to people watch...you sure see your share roid hounds there, both male and female.:o Friday Sarah and I worked at the Ohio State Achery tourney which was part of the Expo, but held at the Veteran's Memorial down the street. It was fun seeing the grade schoolers hit tight groups.

They also have an event called the "Pump and Run" which requires you to bench your own body weight as many times as you can, then run a 5K. For each rep you do, they deduct a certain amount of time from your overall 5K time. The winner averaged 6 minute miles, and benched his weight 30 times!:eek::eek: Pretty cool, and although I couldn't come close to either of those, I think I'm going to try it next year.:cool:

Cool, I'd say maybe I saw gobblerbuster there...but he looks like a muscular guy in an Ambercrombie and Fitch shirt so it's hard to say...because I must have seen 50,000 guys in Ambercrombie shirts that were two sizes too small for them. It was like Star Wars attack of the clones- minus the cool lazer guns.:D
