You know, now that you mention it, the colors and the way it looked did kinda remind me of a bathroom (though a really clean one, lol). I couldn't put my finger on what looked outta place about it!
They had this place to try out some massage chairs, and some people were doing some sorta therapy stuff as well. Btw, the Rumble Roller place was hnnnnngg! Felt AMAZING on my upper back! After 15 seconds of rolling on it, felt like someone massaged my upper back for 15 minutes. Could feel the improved circulation immediately in my upper back, lots less tension, felt more "in the groove" and even just a little energized from how invigorating it was. Definitely wanna get one along with a normal foam roller as well, along with the ball with spikes (think it's for your shoulders). Didn't take pics of the Rumble Roller booth though.

Mike Liberatore. Said he was resting his body, taking a break from training and stuff and will be back at it after he's done resting. Says he wants to get his offseason weight to 280! Not sure if he was serious about that or making a hyperbole or whatever you call it.
I know this came out dark, just postin to show that they had lots of stuff there

crowd around the MHP Power pit. Some were in line, some were just watching. Was kinda hard to tell who was in line and who was just watching.
Here's that babe of a woman I was tellin you was dancing half the day. She seemed to be having fun, smiling, was pleasant to meet. Plus, her thighs were super joocy. I was in line and asked the guy next to me if he was gonna try benching his bodyweight. he was like "yeah, I'll give it a go. How 'bout you?" And I'm like "hell no! I'll wreck my shoulders doin that" So he says, "You're here with someone then?" to which i reply "Nah, I just wanna take a picture with her" and point at this heavenly-blessed beauty. With all due respect, was taking every bit of willpower for me to just not get raging wood when I was waiting in line for the picture. Dunno her name, unfortunately. Reps to someone who knows her name!

Hey Stealth,
great pics man, thanks a lot for sharing.
Did you see Kevin Levrone by chance at the Expo? If so, how did he look? Like he is on the way to making a return, ie., noticeably bigger?
Thanks!THE LEVRONE 2016 MR. OLYMPIA COMEBACK

proper posing helps create the illusion of being bigger than you are. It's not like i was hitting a bodybuilding pose in these pics the way I was in my avi, lol.
Even Marc Lobliner there - that pic doesn't do him justice. He looks even more jacked in real life.
Technically, bi-curious, as I prefer wimminz(would hit it with almost any girl I see, lol, dat biology). Gay is when you prefer the same sex. Not that it matters, nomsayin?
I dunno who the John Hollywood crew ppl are...dunno what that even is.
Well yeah, my dad was paying, lol. Family vacation. Sort of an office vacation, too since me, my dad, and my mom work in the same office (family business).
Yeah, there was a lotta eye candy for sure, lol.
I hope so!

Myogenix booth
some other booth
Some sorta pushup demonstration. Tried taking a pic of dem glutez when she was turned around but didn't get my camera in time, lol. You can't tell from this pic, but they were actually pretty round, just that her hips weren't wide. And yes, she was doing full pushups.
Ronnie's supplement booth
Ruth Silverman!
Also got to meet Steve Wennerstrom!

New supplement company. They got whey, vegan protein (soy free, dairy free, has hemp protein, rice protein, and pea protein - probably the most delicious protein I've had, has a nutty flavor to it), and greens drink which also tasted great.

a female bodybuilder wanted her pic taken with Victor Martinez. Dunno who she was, but she was a babe.

One of the "booths" was an open area with this tank here. Something about war on fat or something like that. I think the name of the brand was Grenade
The Species athletes! I dunno their names though. The guy looks really familiar, the girl on the right I think is Latoya Watts(figure competitor, I think - seen some pics of her that looked great)
And the last pic - Stan McQuay and Lonnie Teper! Was standing around waiting for a lull in their conversation to happen just so I could ask for this pic, lol.

probably never, lol. There are plenty out there already, including one that uploads vids/pics to the cloud. Buying a membership gets you access to it. I also like that individuals can upload pics, so it seems like more money can go to the athletes/models than other sites. It's a new way of organizing sites of that sort!
forgot the name of it, unfortunately, lol. I'll probably come across it in another couple months anyways though
I'll just shop around for the best quality/price combo I can find
Thx for the offer though!
I dunno. Would love to though!

Great pics! Definitely NOT into the look of the female bodybuilders like yourself although there have been some in the past and way way past who I favored. One was Sarah Hayes although I do not like how far she has taken it, too masculine looking now. But here a couple years ago as well as in the video link I'm putting up, you can see how feminine and pretty she can look:
http://clips.team-andro.com/watch/a2...scle-camp-2010
But again, great pictures! Would love to meet Labrada (Legend!) one day! And the "dancing girl" isn't Angela Mraz. I believe the one you took the pic with has a mole or something like it above her lip which Angela does not have. Also, she seems to resemble more caucasian/italian then hispanic/asian like Angela Mraz seems to resemble. Definitely a nice, thick body though on her. And Latoya Watts!

SS, I saw you walking around the expo without knowing who you were. Back to what you said earlier, there was a Misc section gathering that Promera organized at their booth. I took some pictures and posted them in a thread, and they've since been reposted a couple of times. Those folks are being "analyzed" (a.k.a. "verbally flogged" here)

Also, I'll contribute some of mine:
Olympia press conference. If there is a transcript or video of this, it's worth your time. Foreigners always make some unintentionally funny observations, and Essa Obiad said something to the effect of "I can beat everyone in the 2nd row. Not so sure about the first." Later, Bob brings the microphone up to Beyake and asks him about the comment and I believe the reply was "I beat him twice." Snapped this shot as the "First row" guys turned around and were cracking up at this exchange.
Not sure if you can get a sense of the depth of this line, but the one in front of me in this photo is the VIP line for EARLY access into Meet the Olympians that Thursday. Just one example of how much interest there was in this Olympia.
Expo pics:
Perky Jerky made 3 suits of differing weight out of their product and gave out prizes to whomever could do the most chin-ups while wearing them.
More pics to come. Just now getting around to resizing them.Stop making fun of my post total.
