We are here with Ron Gallagher, NPC Competitor.
Thanks for joining us today. Let's get right to it. We want to hear what you have to say and where you are headed in the NPC.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division? I’m really for it! Finally there is a division for the male athletes out there. I am hoping for the NPC to implement some posing into our division as well. The Women’s physique division are posing and also showing off a lot more body. I really hope the will go away from the board shorts and have us wear some type of tight briefs. That way we can see the lower portion and therefore make the decisions for the judges more clear.

What keeps you on track towards reaching your goals?
My desire to win and bring the best Ron Gallagher to the stage. I am very competitive and won’t settle for anything less. I know my competition is working hard so I know I have to work much harder. That in it’s self lights a fire in me to stay very motivated toward my goal.
Interesting fact or something you would like our readers to know about you: I am a very family oriented guy and very down to earth. I’m always willing to help someone with anything in life. Especially if it has to do with helping someone with their fitness goals. I get a great sense of fulfillment when I can make a difference in someone’s life for the better.
