Few weightlifting meets—if any—are as legendary as the Arnold Weightlifting Championships, held every year in Columbus, Ohio (and part of the much larger Arnold Expo, which features dozens of sports). For this episode we spoke with Mark Cannella—the founder and Meet Director of the Arnold Weightlifting Championships—and our good friend Joel Quintong, who’s been to more Arnold Championships than just about anyone (except Cannella). We look at the history of the competition and reminisce over some of our favorite moments from past events. Please note that Cannella was literally in the midst of setting up for this year’s Arnold (which is also the AO Series 1), so there are moments of some really rough audio and background noise due to the construction going on. Otherwise, enjoy!
