I can’t speak for Brian but I’ve been stuck in a rut lately and decided I needed some inspiration. As luck would have it, some of our friends were competing in a fitness competition so I ended up buying us a couple of front row tickets for that. Brian didn’t mind going because he knew he’d be looking at half-naked women all evening.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures from the show for you guys to enjoy…<\/p>\n

Some of the classes were stacked while others only had one, two, or a handful of entrants. Lots of competitors in this class.<\/p>\n

Then the winners of each class take the stage to be judged together. They’re competing for the overall title.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every inch of their body is scrutinized by the discerning judges.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They’re even made to switch places. It’s quite intense. Who do you think won this one?<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we go through the whole thing all over again for the open classes. I don’t really know much about fitness competitions but I gathered, from watching all of the contestants, the open classes are tougher. At least in novice, previous winners can’t compete. In the open classes you’re competing with pros.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Top five with medals.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next class.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the winners from novice made the top five.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another class.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Top five.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again the winners are judged together for the honor of overall winner.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Check him out.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I prefer watching the women.<\/p>\n
