Want
to know what's going on at The Nationals and who's earning their pro cards? Pre-judging and finals for the Men's Physique Division take place on Saturday. In the meantime, see what's going on in the other divisions! Click through on the following link for the live Play-by-Play with Dave Palumbo.
We
all know that the general population is pretty resistant to the idea of packing on the massive amounts of muscle which are seen in men’s and women’s bodybuilding. This has made the men’s physique and bikini divisions incredibly enticing since these divisions are represented by a lesser degree of muscularity. However, it drives me nuts when I hear people proclaim that they are going to jump onstage and compete simply because they are reasonably fit...

Deans, MPD Dynamo!
Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
