More Mr O images

Erik F's calves are quite simply out of this world... amazing! The Croc shoes... queer. LOL

Mr O competitiors meeting

A chance before the big day to see if we can see how drawn and lean anyone looks. Dexter looks drawn, Heaths forearms are unreal, Jay looks dry, Roelly looks drawn, Wolf borderline, Paco's arms...

Mr Olympia build up builds up pace

More and more photos are appearing on an almost daily basis (gotta love the internet). This year, more than ever before digital technology has allowed us to see the last few days of preparation and condition like never before. Take the attached image of Roelly (nice detail in the delts) training at what looks like the Mecca, Gold's Gym - Venice Beach, Calif. I'm sure we will see more.

Our best chance for the 202 Olympia?

Looks like it right now. James Llewellin looks 'Gnarly!' (thanks to IB of MT).

Benny shows he's getting read for the Bolton deadlift challenge

Benny does 400 for 5 reps

World's Strongest Hands series - leg 2

I won. Another, relative to what I have done and can do, off day on the pinch still saw me place 2nd on that lift. Followed by a 3 way tie for 1st on the Wrist Developer (I may not like it but I seem ok at it) and a tied 2nd on the Vulcan was enough over all to secure me a first place. Leg three is in about 5 weeks time and I already made plans on what I'd like to do on that day - enough again across the board rather than out and out wins. We'll see.

Andy Bolton competing in grip competition... true!

Pic of H, Andy and myself from 2008 (?) when he came to the yard for some grip training advice from Paul Savage and myself.

Yep, I can barely believe it myself but Andy contacted me via facebook this week and asked for a date to compete in a grip competition. So... he'll be here on December the 18th for our annual Whey Power Challenge and I've made sure the two handed pinch is the grip event. He's done a very nice number (later, later) which was done around the same time as his 1008lb deadlift. Make of that what you will.

Learning something new every day...

I had no idea that David Blaine, trickster, was also a strength fiend. He's a buddy of Dennis Rogers:
