With
us today is Ugo Arimo. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I've always been told I had a great physique so I decided to try my hand at it.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
I competed at the Europa Supershow in Dallas, Texas. I competed in the Open class and the Masters division 35 and up.
How did you feel after pre-judging?
After Pre-judging I felt tired and hungry. Lol
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
After the finals I felt great because it was a big show and I did pretty good. I have more to work on though.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
I love the Men's Physique division! I think that it's a great way to show people what all the hard work in the gym as well as with dieting can produce. I'm using these contests as a way to promote myself for purposes of sponsorships, being in fitness magazines and beyond. I'm so excited to see what my future holds in this industry.
