One week! Are you ready????

**esplendido** · 02-26-2010, 11:32 AM

To all you guys and gals who have taken the Rx Arnold challenge and have stuck to it.....ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?

I am so proud of you all.....and especially of you, Mikey. Damn bro, I feel like a new dad at the birth of his firstborn! I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at the Species booth. I'm sure that Dave has set a time for the judging and I just haven't seen it in a thread yet, so tell me here, please.

I'm excited for you all!

Thanks, Rick! I know I didn't do all you told me to, but I do appreciate your help and encouragement!

ABP, FBG and I are the only 3 I think who survived.

We have no idea what we will be made to do as far as posing, nor when it really is. I think it is 3pm on Friday, but I need to email Dave to see. I will also ask him if he got the before pics.

I think Dave referred to it as a posedown, so sounds like no mandatories. If that's the case I will have to emphasize legs in the posedown!

just emailed Dave, will post up in here when I hear back.

I hate to say but I am out. Elbow problems and getting ready for powerlifting meet ruled me out. If offseason works for the posedown let me know.

Plus Mike is killing it!

Definitely post the time when you find out! I've been wanting to solidify my schedule on Friday.

As to the posedown, maybe you are correct. I've never won my class, so I've never actually been in a posedown. Guess I better practice!

Dave emailed me that 3pm is fine, and told me to call Mr G, who is in charge of the antics at the booth, to figure out what we're doing. I have left Mr G a voicemail....

Kind of depressed at how this fizzled out so badly...but at least I got my ass in shape pretty good.

It's just you and me ABP, so let's get it on!

Best of luck to all of you. Take lots of photos and drink lots of beer after! Xiomara and I will be thinking about you all. Hey, Dave should drop into the Masters every once in awhile...amen?

Cool; thanks!!

I can't make it to the Arnold this year since I'm in sunny warm Australia, so I hope there will be video posted. I wanna see this!

**HeavyDutyGuy** · 02-26-2010, 09:05 PM

ABP and GMan are both winners already! Anytime you set a goal for any contest, see it through and show up in your best shape, you've already won. The placings are up to the judges. I can't wait to see the pics.

**Oldsuperman** · 02-27-2010, 04:13 AM

Alright! This is gonna be fun for sure!

**gman** · 02-27-2010, 07:26 AM

It's going to be a blast just being there!

No word from Mr G....hope he calls today.

We're all going to have to meet at Schmidt's Sausage Haas in German Village, about 3 miles from the convention center. Schmidt's has been around since the mid-late 1800's and serves genuine German cuisine. Their cream puffs are world famous...and they brew their own beer. German Village is a real treat, originally settled by German immigrants in the 1850's (my great grandparents among them) and the architecture is all old world German. And it's all on the south side of downtown Columbus, with the Convention Center being on the north side of downtown.
