Many of the world’s top bodybuilders will be strutting their stuff Sept. 27 and 28 during one of the world’s biggest fitness contents.
Both men and women will be flexing bulging biceps, thunderous thighs and other body parts at Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness and Performance Expo, to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Orleans Arena.
