Meet the Man in The Shorts: Drew Jelen

Wakeboardingbadger9 or wakesurfing, Drew Jelen puts his boardshorts to good use on stage and in the surf!

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.

Meet the Man in The Shorts: Natrian Maxwell

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...

Meet the Man in The Shorts: Tony Torres

Withphoto (1) us today is Tony Torres.  Congrats on earning your pro card Tony.  What made you compete in the Men's Physique Division?

Last year I did a national qualifier bodybuilding show called The Diana Cadeau Classic and I won my class, overall and best poser. Then I thought to myself, wow, if I go to the nationals at 170lbs at my height in bodybuilding I'm going to get crushed. So I said to myself, not a bad way to end my bodybuilding competition days – Physique here I come! 

Tell us about a little about the show you just recently competed in. 

Yes, I competed in the IFBB North American Championships. Over 850 competitors. That’s where I nabbed my IFBB Pro card, Short Class A...

TheIMG 0462 man in the shorts today is Matthew Wold – Family man, financial advisor, Marine and self professed band geek.  Matthew, congrats on a great showing!  What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?

I had tried a few bodybuilding shows in the past, but was relatively unsuccessful due to my genetics.  I have a naturally lean and athletic build and that seemed to transfer well to the Men’s Physique Division.  I love competing and wanted to continue to get on stage.  After researching a lot on this fairly new division, I really felt that I could compete and succeed in it...
