The Weider statue, some of them used to be Robbie Robisons body with Joes head on it.

Can't remember which one but was one of the main ones.

Oh yes that right it was Robbie.

But he did have a run-in with Sergio, in fact Joe burnt a lot of bridges.

He had Dave draper working in his shop, on a terrible wage while his photos where in his magazines and getting nothing for them.

He was a very shrewd business man.
 
Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Coming to Australia
660x400-040313015234_arnold-schwarzenegger-016.jpg


Well, he did say he'd be back: Hollywood icon and former Californian governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming to Australia - to teach you how to terminate your debt. The Kindergarten Cop star will speak at the Financial Education Summit in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne on June 12, 13 and 14 respectively, recounting his experiences from a lifetime spanning four careers: bodybuilding, investing, acting, and politics.

Although TIME magazine once linked California's dire recession as part of the former Governator's legacy, Schwarzenegger has a long history of investment experience. In the early '70s he used profits from his bricklaying startup to fund bodybuilding equipment and instructional tapes. Then he turned those profits, and his bodybuilding winnings, into a series of real estate ventures. Schwarzenegger was a millionaire before he'd even started in Hollywood due to his entrepreneurial success, which could be attributed to the mentality he carried throughout his life: an obsession with strength, endurance, and ultimately, victory.

Even if you're dead tired, get to the chopper and allow Arnie to break the ice and let off some steam about his experience as a politician and a businessman. But you better have total recall or at least take notes because this is guaranteed not to be expendable.

Victor's Comeback

Victor Martinez not even 40 years old, and he’s endured enough drama for five lifetimes. But whatever curve balls life has thrown at Victor, he rose above it all. The trials and travails of Victor have included a 2003 felony conviction for which he spent 90 days in jail; losing the 2007 Mr. Olympia, which many thought he deserved to win; the barbaric murder of his sister in 2009; being incarcerated for seven months with the threat of deportation hanging over his head, before being released in April 2012; and most recently, suffering the career threatening injury of breaking his arm last September. But this is Victor Martinez we’re talking about – no ordinary bodybuilder, and an extraordinary man.

There is a silver lining to Victor’s story: he is an iron warrior, with a will to bounce back and persevere no matter what’s on his plate. Victor has been through hell, which makes his comeback at this year’s New York Pro on May 25th a story of blood and guts, a testament to his willpower and one of most eagerly anticipated appearances of any pro on a bodybuilding stage in years. Victor is the favorite to win this year’s New York Pro, because he’s a damned good bodybuilder and also because the New York Pro is an opportunity for Victor to show the world what he’s got. “This is it, man: the supreme competitive battle of my career. I’ve never been more driven because I know what’s at stake,” Victor tells Peter McGough. Peter’s exclusive interview looks at the relationship between Victor and second-year pro Jon De La Rosa, who have forged what may be bodybuilding’s strongest friendship. When they stand together for the first time at this year’s New York Pro, Both men for very different reasons – will be at a crucial career crossroads.
 
2013 Europa SuperShow Today!
Beyeke, Kuclo, and Obaid to Meet on Stage

13essa.jpg
The 2013 Dallas Europa starts today and13euraopa-www looks to be an
Lionel Beyeke lacked sharpness and detail last weekend in Tampa, relegating him to a fifth place finish. Many deemed him to have the best structure and genetics in the show, but he just wasn't dialed in. He flew from Tampa to Arizona after the show to work with IFBB Pro Dennis James for the first time. Time will tell what a week with Dennis did for Lionel.
exciting show!

Steve Kuclo was last seen on the competition stage at the 2012 New York Pro. With over a year off to make improvements, many are expecting to see a vastly improved Steve. In the past, upper chest and back thickness have proved to be his nemesis. With a year to make changes
and add size, he should be in the running here.

Essa Obiad came in third last weekend in Tampa, and on paper, is the man to beat here. No doubt he will make first callout here in Dallas. The question remains, can he win? The answer was yes in 2010, when he won this show. Can he do it again? The odds look to be in his favor.

Of course, there are other contenders here, such as Stephen Frazier, Cory Mathews, and Mo Bannout, just to name a few. The 2013 Europa SuperShow will not be a cake walk for anyone!

Be sure to stay tuned to MD all weekend as we cover the show from start to finish, which will include Men's Physique, Women's Physique, and Figure!

WHAT: 2013 Dallas Europa SuperShow
WHERE: Dallas Convention Center
WHEN: THIS WEEKEND!

Dallas Europa - PREJUDGING w/Flex Wheeler, Adina, and Ann Titone!!
