Craig Richardson

|
Summary:
We drove out to Patterson, New Jersey later in
the day after filming Eugene. Traffic SUCKED!
Craig trains at a small gym that blends in with
the buildings, you wouldnt know it is there unless
you saw huge guys walking out of the plain door
on the side of the building. We filmed at 5 pm,
Friday night. Craig, and his workout partner Harley,
were very accomodating and provided a lot of great
material. Harley did a lot of the talking (a lawyer
by trade) and rambled a few times in Portuguese.
I later found out from Craig that he was talking
in Portuguese to communicate to a special someone
in Brazil that was to see the video, so most of
it is removed from the final product. Craig did
arms, and some great posing at the end. |

Summary:
We devoted an entire day to filming Kai, which was
Sunday at 5pm at Bev's gym again. Kai and Oscar
were a bit late, traffic was bad. Kai lives across
New York and doesn't usually travel over to Long
Island unless its a photo shoot or filming. This
segment will be one of the GEMS of the entire BFO.
Kai was as serious as a heart attack during his
workout. Nothing was said, just raw grit and focus.
Oscar repeatedely assured Kai of his reasoning for
being there. Low volume whispers in Kai's ears stirred
the giant for his sets, which he seemed to explode
with power each time, only to collapse in exhaustion
afterwards. His massive 300lb took it's toll on
him and he looked destroyed. After the workout we
did posing in the back section of the gym, where
the MMA area is. Kai was a totally different person
and opened up about his excitement for being in
his first Battle for the Olympia dvd. Awesome posing
and interview at the end of his segment. |

|
| |
| When: |
Sept 6, 2010 - 19 Days out |
| |
| Bodyparts Worked: |
Arms and Abs |
| |
|
Summary:
After wrapping up in New York, we headed out west
to Yorkvill OH, which is just over the border from
where Erik lives, which is Wheeler, West Virginia.
Erik trains at a small gym in a small town, very
small. Literally just a few streets wide. Erik blasted
Biceps and Triceps for us, injecting some humor
along the way. His trainer and the gym owner were
there also, providing some ambient humor also. Erik
was amazingly energetic and witty, and this segment
will be a great one for people to see who Erik Fankhouser
really is. He is the youngest competitor in this
years Olympia, just 30 years old. Erik is a family
man, much like Dugdale, with two kids, a wife and
a full time job. Erik posed for us afterwards and
we snapped a bunch of pictures. Unfortunately the
camera got turned off during his posing, but whe
did a nice Ken Burns' effect for his photo shoot
at the end of his segment. |

Summary:
We traveled down to the southern tip of Florida
to the Olympia Gym, one of Florida's oldest and
best gyms, serving the public since 1978. Bill is
a trainer at this gym, and they treat him like he's
family. The owners, Pete and Delia were full of
energy and awesome people. Delia looks amazing at
60+! Bill blasted out back for us with his workout
partner, and provided a great interview at the end,
along with posing. A gentle giant, Bill talkes about
his age, sponsorship and how he did this year with
no financial backing and the struggles it takes
to do it. Insightful. |
