Our Arnold Classic Weekend Experience

BarbieSunshine

We went to the Arnold Classic and stayed at the Sheraton on Hutchenson St. in Columbus.  We got free passes to the Metro Fitness Gym which was one of the best gyms I have ever worked out at.

My husband and I ride skateboards and I got hurt about 5 years ago and I got lazy after that.  Once the cardio went, the diet did also.  I tried a few things to loose weight but not a lot worked.  Going to the Arnold Expo really got me fired up to do something about it.

On Friday we got up late and got there about 2.  It wasn’t very crowded and we got to meet a few UFC celebrities. We had to park about a 15 minute walk away.  We got there a little earlier on Saturday and I was surprised how many people were there.  There were a lot of booths we really liked.

This is me and Jay Cutler!

Every day we started out at the Dymatize booth to get some Froot Loops protein cereal (tastes just like the real thing!) The EAS booth was big and we got several Myoplex Lite and Delux bars there.  They made shakes with the recipies in the packages that were really good.  The best was the chocolate chip.  The best bars there were the Supreme Protein Carb Conscious Peanut Butter Crunch bars.  They were giving a lot of the snack size bars on the last day.  They were by far the best bars I’ve ever had and I’m going to get some now.

Look at all our free samples!

We also went to a booth where they were selling a machine that has electrodes that attach to your body (like your foot) that helps relieve pain.  We bought one and I really think it helps.  We had about 6 bags full between the two of us of samples.  The best day for supplement handouts was on Sunday.  We got a lot of stuff from the Muscle Milk booth and many of the booths were selling supplements at a huge discount.

We bought some Body Well Tight Curves protein for me which I really like and my husband bought some Pride protein he really likes.  All in all this was one of the best trips I have ever taken.  I think we are going to the Olympia next.  We got a lot of cool samples and I’m excited to see how much weight I loose now.

The highlight of my trip though was meeting my favorite UFC fighter Wes Sims!  That was awesome!
