The strength and fitness expo known as "The Arnold Classic" is making its annual appearance in downtown Columbus this weekend. The extravaganza routinely brings over 175,000 tourists to the Discovery City.

Two Lithuanian powerlifters and professional strongmen, Žydrūnas Savickas (fourth from the right) and Vytautas Lalas (third from the left), are two such visitors.

While plenty of knowledge can be found and exchanged in Arnold's halls, the duo stopped off at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center and talked with resident strength sensei Mickey Marotti (second from the left), formerly know as the assistant athletic director for football sports performance.

Just another perk of residing in a bustling city like Columbus.

The Arnold Classic is in town until March 5. The full schedule can be found over here.
