#TBT to the Arnold Classic 2003, more specifically, the Expo! For those of you that have experienced the Arnold Expo, you know it’s crazy….well more like INSANE! From mild to wild, you’ll see it at the Expo.
The Arnold Expo is THE place to be for the BEST in Female Muscle on the planet. Women from all walks of strength and muscle sports show up in droves, flexing, posing and showing just how strong they are. If you are one of those guys that is easily intimidated by a strong woman….you WILL be intimidated. Or conversely, if you absolutely LOVE Female Muscle….the Expo is going to be your nirvana.
Here’s a few of our favorite shots from 2003. Who can forget the timeless Annie Rivieccio, the massive arms of Elena Seiple, or the amazing physique of IFBB Pro Cathy Priest? What about the IFBB’s very popular newcomer Sarah Dunlap? For you amazon fans, 6’3 Mikayla Miles could be seen towering over nearly everyone in the crowd, being careful not to trample anyone with her size 16 feet. Cindy Leister was there with her women’s magazine Irony Mag. Heavyweight bodybuilder and former police officer turned Wild Kat, Cathy Connors worked the Irony Mag booth. A much smaller Gabrielle Nicander was on hand to flex and pose for fans. And who can forget Canadian National competitor Carmen Unger?
There were so many more and our at age, we just can’t remember them all. But here are a few pictures to jog your memory.
