Congrats 
on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
As crazy as it may sound, I never thought about competing in the NPC until I was repeatedly asked by gym-goers, “Do you compete?” Prior to my first NPC show, the March 10, 2013 Denver Open, I had never competed, and never given much thought to competing. It was only after doing research online, finding out about the NPC, in particular the Men’s Physique Division, in which I wanted to compete. So, at my first show, I took first place and overall that night. I took home 5 awards and I would consider that deciding to compete was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you just competed?
I just recently competed in the NPC Steel City Championship in Pueblo, Colorado. It was an amazing show! I took 1st place in Men Physique, Class C Open as well as 1st place overall in Men’s Physique Open. I also recently competed at Team U in NJ...

on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I was always a fan of bodybuilding, but my body type and look are more suited for success in the men’s physique division. It’s hard not to consider competing when several of your co-workers (I work as a personal trainer) have competed, and everyone continually asks you, “so when are you going to do a show?” Prodding from my co-workers and my current coach (national-level bodybuilder Eric Posejpal) pushed me into my first competition...

Well I knew I never wanted to be a bodybuilder, so I immediately took interest judging off the criteria it presented. The model, Beach body, fitness look I knew was just for me. The introduction of the board shorts was also of major interest to me, I couldn’t see myself stepping on stage in those little trunks bodybuilders wear.
Congrats
on a great showing and getting back on stage! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
After having three open heart surgeries, I knew I couldn’t carry the size I did as a bodybuilder, so men’s physique seemed like a perfect fit. My interest increased when I learned that the two top competitors in each height class receive pro cards at the Master’s National. At age 41, this was great news.
With
us today is MP Competitor Patrick Mahoney. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I have always been interested in Physique sports and had always been interested in competing. When they started the Men's Physique Division I knew it was the perfect opportunity for me.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
The last show I competed in was the 2012 Kentucky Muscle held in November. It was a great show with 35 Men’s Physique Competitors. It gave me the opportunity to compete against a larger field of competitors.
With
us today is Devan Pina. Congrats on a couple great showings on the MP stage! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
-After suffering a motorcycle accident and undergoing surgery, I was told I may never be able to get into the military or police academy because of my injuries. I was also told specifically I would never be able to “Lift weights”… So that is exactly what I decided to do. I got a gym membership in October 2012, attended a bodybuilding show in November and began training in December.
With 
us today is Emmanuel Omoniyi. Congrats on some great showings on the stage! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I have been doing a lot of weight training for years now, however due to my lean body type (ectomorph). I could not see myself competing in the NPC until Men's Physique was introduced.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
My last show was Eastern's 2012 in Queen's College in New York City. I managed to place 11th out of 34 outstanding competitors.
Meet 
MP Competitor Jeremiah Taylor. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
After watching a friend compete in the Branch Warren Classic last July, my son asked me if I was too scared to compete.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
I competed in the Dyess Muscle Classic in November on an Air Force Base in Abilene, TX. It was a smaller show, however, I found my inner showman during that competition. I got to compete against Tom Blas again.
