Meet the Man in The Shorts: Marfred Suazo

Breakdancing, marfred 3black belt DJ? You must mean Men’s Physique competitor, Marfred Suazo! 

Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division? 

Thank you. I’ve always been athletic, and since a young age I’ve always liked to challenge my body in different sports, Men’s Physique being no different. It was another sport that I was excited to prove to myself I could do; the physical demands are intense and I was up for the challenge. 

Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed? 

The most recent was 2012 Team Universe, it was very overwhelming and exciting at the same time; greatly impressed by all the physiques competing. I was very happy to share the stage with such great talent. Although I had ACL surgery a few weeks prior to the national show I was still able to push through the agonizing pain and bring a pretty good package to the stage...

Deandre20131012 205651 Deans, MPD Dynamo!

Congrats on a great showing!  What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?

I’ve always competed in sports but I was also a skinny kid. I decided about six years ago to start lifting seriously. Since I was putting the work in at the gym and a few people telling me I should compete I decided to give it a shot. And I’m so happy I made that choice.

Can you tell us a little about the competition in which you just competed?

I just did the GNC Northern Colorado Open. It was an awesome show with a lot of great looking guys. The competition was good we had one of the biggest classes in my division (class C) which was 13 competitors...

Congrats on a great showing!  What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?

I went to watch a local show and was intrigued by the idea of stepping on stage, showing off my physique.  Bodybuilding did not fit my physique and lifestyle but I saw the men’s physique category and thought it was a great fit for me...

Congrats on a great showing!  What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?

Men's Physique seemed like a great fit for my physique and body type based on the judging criteria. I've always been very lean and never had the bodybuilder frame. I think it's a great division for me and many others because it broadens the spectrum for guys with different types of physiques...

Dontaviousone Gray’s tale of the Titan Open

Congrats on a great showing!  What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?

After I couldn’t play sports anymore due to knee injuries, I used to want to compete in bodybuilding but I did not want that very muscular/vascular look.  When I found out about the Men’s Physique Division two years ago, I knew this was the route for me to finally get on stage and regain the competitive edge I had been looking for.

NatrianIMG 3060 Maxwell, Consistency Equals Success! 

Congrats on a great showing!  What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?

Always being an athlete I had a lot of competitive drive left in the tank. For me personally, I felt as if a piece of my identity was lost after college sports ended. For a few years I tried my hand at different sports such as boxing, mixed martial arts and semi pro football, however, nothing helped reignite my fire like Men’s Physique has.

Meet MP Competitor Tyler Sandell

Meet thisonethe man in the shorts, Tyler Sandell. Tyler is chasing his dreams, no matter what!

Congrats on a great showing!  What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?  

Honestly, I never really knew anything about the sport until I met a diet coach. She showed me how to pose and gave me the knowledge I needed to be a competitor. I was powerlifting at the time and coming out of my fourth knee surgery as well as changing my career out of the military. I saw my first show in July of 2012 and was hooked from that day on. I stepped on stage for the first time in August 2012 at the Jay Cutler Classic in Maryland, placing 7th out of 22...
