This Filipino guy cracked me up, cause he said that ne never thought he would see another Filipino guy thicker than him 'till he saw me!
This bodybuilder girl almost lapped the stone! We gave her a hat anyway for her effort!

This weekend was a BLAST working the booth for Bulky Boy at the UFC Fan Expo! As an MMA fan, I think I was more excited to just see all the fighters that were there hanging out at the Expo. I even got to shake Uriah Faber's hand when I passed him in the elevator lobby. Our friend Louie, got to see even Mike Tyson at the UFC Fan Expo.
Bulky Boy unleashed some new designs on their shirts and fight shorts & board shorts at this Expo.
I also lifted a 220 lb stone at our booth, and it was a HIT! We gave away a free Bulky Boy hat to anyone that could stand up and lap the stone. I think we gave away almost 100 hats!
I lifted that stone almost 180 times during both days of the Expo...man, were my biceps and elbow joints sore!
We had a blast, even though it was alot of hard work. Big thanks to Bulky Boy for this wonderful experience!
Aloha,
Grant Higa Bulky Boy strongman team
dude! Forest had some serious hugry eyes on you. I'd watch out! HAHAHAHA looked like an awesome trip!
