I've never been on a show. So what was you fantasy and what was the reality?
Lol sorry guys, I was joking about not liking the bodybuilding show. It was tons of fun and I encourage everyone here to go whenever they can.
The one I went to in Houston was put on by Branch Warren and his people and was very enjoyable. There was BJJ competition, Strongman and Powerlifting happening as well inside a big ol area near the old Astrodome. Everyone I met was really nice even though it feels terribly insular when you're not part of a gym yourself. I was just visiting before heading off to Mexico.
I will say it can get pretty chaotic with so many different things happening, but ultimately is a good time. Plus it's fun being there with people that are into bodybuilding. Another interesting thing was the way the crowd sort of changed when the men were on stage, the women were on stage, then the categories shifted from physique to bikini. I'm not sure what to make of all that, but can definitely say that the people out there seem to enjoy wellness quite a lot.
Past that, it's also hard to tell what's going on as people come and go from the stage.
