Party in the Mecca

[Mr.Olympia 2008]

I just love when the Pro season starts, Venice starts crawling with FBB Pros and brings the city of Bodybuilding back to its old glory days. It's AWESOME!
It the past 2 days we have been treated with the nicest possible weather and Gold's Venice is seeing Pros from all around the globe. Bob Cicherillo has been shooting the new "Road to the Ironman" Series that can been seen on Bodybuilding.com right now.

Here's a few of the guys we've seen so far.

Mel is training at Gold's for the upcoming Arnold, he's looking big.

We then took a walk to Firehouse and ran into the Real Deal finishing his lunch.

Mel and Branch chatting

CC and sil chilling at the store

This morning we ran into Omar Deckard at Gold's, he's also doing the Ironman and looks real lean.

Big Armin is chlling in the couches with Sil and Armin's buddy.

Big Will came in also and said hello, he's also gearing up for the Ironman and looks real big too,

One last pic as Sil ran into John Cena at Gold's today. John signaled him over and invited him to go see John at the Staples Center on the 16th, Sil said, if I wasn't competing, I'd go John, LOL. Raincheck. I guess you have a new fan Sil.

Silvio is looking huge! Also Omar Deckard is looking good as well, lets just hope he can maintain his size in the contest and brings up his thighs.

Melvin's arm looks monstrous in the first pic and man that sure is the life. Just like Pumping Iron 30 years ago.
