It is that time again for the annual Arnold Sports Festival aka The Arnold Classic. The Arnold Classic in the United States is this week in Columbus, Ohio from 2/27/2025 – 3/2/2025. This is a multi-sport event that his held annually every year since 1989.
Arnold Schwarzenegger first started talking about The Pump in the movie Pumping Iron.
“The greatest feeling you can get in the gym or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is The Pump. Let’s say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that’s what we call The Pump. Your muscles get a really tight feeling like your skin is going to explode any minute and its really tight like somebody blowing air into it, into your muscle. It just blows up and it feels different. It feels fantastic.”
Here today and gone tomorrow. Or in Franco Columbu’s case: gone never! Columbu may have left this earth but the legend of this highly-accomplished muscleman, actor and humanitarian lives on. Franco, 78, tragically died while swimming in his hometown of Sardinia, Italy last week.

There was a feeling of deja vu as I was standing outside on a cool cloudy day in Columbus with a gathering of local journalists, politicians, and fans near a giant black shrouded statue. It was just in 2012 that I was watching almost the same event, only at a different location. But seeing Arnold give another rousing speech is always a good thing!
