Arnold Expo 2008

Today was the first day of the Arnold Expo in Columbus, OH. Not only was it a great start for the Arnold Strength Summit presented by StrengthPro www.strengthpro.com but we also saw many amazing sites. From the huge men (and women!) walking around the expo to the different events from the Women's Figure & Fitness Competitions to the Strongman Competition.
The Strongman competition was especially amazing as many records were broken. The most amazing was the Tire Deadlift record where strongmen deadlift a bar weighted with Hummer tires. For the first time ever one Strongman lifted and held for emphasis 8 Hummer tires weighing a total of 1034 lbs!! The crowd went wild and it was truly an amazing feat of strength!
Look for more tomorrow...
