Joining us today is MP Competitor Chad Abner. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Thanks so much. I have always followed bodybuilding and been involved, but when the Men’s Physique Division came about, I knew it was going to be my chance to participate. I couldn’t be more excited about the addition of this division. It’s an amazing opportunity for guys like me who have to stay really active and carrying around a lot of mass is not an option.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition in which you just competed?
The NPC KyMuscle Strength and Fitness Extravaganza is an amazing show. It’s put together by promoter Brent Jones in Louisville, KY. It has everything from IFBB pro figure to arm wrestling. The men’s physique was deep. There were 16 shredded guys in the tall class that I was in and 8 in the short class.
Today Dexter Hardy is joining us. Thanks for taking the time and also congrats on a great showing in Miami! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I was introduced the Men’s Physique Division by Dexter Martin at GoLive Fitness in Atlanta, GA. He approached me while working out one day in LA Fitness. I have never considered myself to be a bodybuilder though. I just generally like to stay fit and workout.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
My most recent competition was NPC Nationals (Miami, FL) in November 2011. It was the largest National show in the history of the NPC with 950+ competitors. It was great to be a part of such a monumental event.

Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
I recently competed in Davenport, Iowa at the National Qualifier “Battle of the Champions.” It was a great turn out and was the best atmosphere to be around...
Congrats on your 2011 Season! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Being a gym rat I’ve always had an interest in bodybuilding, but never had the desire to build to that size. When Men’s Physique started, a friend of mine at the gym, who competes, kept telling me I should go for it. I thought about it, but was too nervous to take the step. Months later a couple of friends of mine were going to do The Titans Grand Prix NPC Event and I was like…I’m gonna do this, so I did.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
I competed in back-to-back shows. The first was The Titans and then a week later at Border States...
Joining us today is National Level MP Competitor Bradley Martyn. Congrats on another great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I had been following bodybuilding for as long as I can remember. When the Men’s Physique division was introduced into the NPC, I decided it would be a great way for me to get the ball rolling and eventually step on stage.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
My most recent showing was at the Miami Nationals
How did you feel after pre-judging?
After pre-judging, I felt good about what I had brought to the stage.
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
I placed 8th out of a very large class. This was not my best placing at a national level show, however I enjoyed the opportunity to get on stage with a lot of very good competitors. Taking what I learned from this show and applying it to my next competitions is the biggest win in my book, because after all this is a marathon not a race. Always striving to come in better and better!
Today we are here with MP Competitor Matt DuBois. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I have always wanted to compete in a bodybuilding show. I was so excited when I found out that the NPC Physique was starting in 2011. I have attended many bodybuilding events over the years and I felt that I had a well balanced physique for competitions.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
I just competed in the 2011 NPC Sacramento Open Physique and Masters Physique 35+. It was a great competition with several good physique competitors.
We are here with Top 5 Finisher at the National's Justin Klein. Congrats on a great showing in Miami! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
My trainer suggested that it would be a great division for me to begin to compete in, since I had never competed before and the scene was completely new to me. It would also help make a name for myself and build my fitness and modeling career.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
I just competed in one of the largest NPC National competitions in Miami Beach, Florida. With over 940 total competitors, over 150 competitors in Men’s Physique and over 60 competitors in Men’s Physique C Division. It was full of top competitors from around the nation with a chance to earn IFBB Pro Cards.
