Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger is done with his responsibilities as Governor of California, he had more time to spend at the sporting event that bears his name – the Arnold Sports Festival – which includes the Arnold Classic, among many, many other competitions.  The event is actually larger than the Olympics, even, and seems to keep growing.  Typically I’m hired […]
