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...

This 
weekend is a monster of a weekend in the NPC and IFBB Men's Physique world. Two major contests are on tap. We have the second to last chance to go pro this year in Pittsburg at the NPC North American Championships. This is another one of Gary Udit's shows. Time and time again his contests run along smoothly like a well-oiled machine in classic venues. You can be sure that by then end of the weekend we will have another top notch class of MP Pro's joining the ranks of the already stacked division.
Additionally this weekend is of course the Valenti Gold Cup in Florida put on by Patricia Valenti. This is a vital show for all IFBB MP Pro's looking to step on stage at the Olympia. This is that last opportunity of the year for Olympia hopefuls to earn their spot by taking the show or collecting points by placing top five.
By the end of this weekend we will have a slew of new pros and know exactly who we can expect to see on the big Olympia stage in the first ever Olympia Men's Physique Showdown!
For all of the latest play by play on the Valenti Gold Cup follow along and get involved on the live feed at: http://forums.rxmuscle.com/showthread.php?121647-2013-IFBB-Valenti-Gold-Cup-Competitors-Lists-Photos-Videos-Play-by-Play-amp-Results!

MP Competitor Duane Brickhouse. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Thank you very much. I have followed bodybuilding for years and I started attending the Olympia in 2010, which is really what made me want to be a part of the bodybuilding world. I was very excited when the Physique Division was created, because I felt like it was a perfect fit for me. With some encouragement from my wife, I decided to take the leap and give it a try. It is very exciting to be around like-minded people that are consistently focused on improving themselves. It really is a great community of individuals.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
My most recent competition was the Master’s Nationals in Pittsburgh. It was a well-run show with a large amount of competitors. And as usual, I met a lot of great competitors...
One 
of the biggest criticisms I hear about Men's Physique competitors is that they have no legs. They are simply average gym-goers absent of leg development who wake up one day and decide to donn some Hurley board shorts. I beg to differ. My leg training requires a 24-hour commitment. Some weeks I literally cannot sleep before "leg day" because I am so excited.
One cannot have an aesthetically pleasing (and contest-winning) body with "chicken-legs." I'm going to walk you through an intermediate leg workout for those competitors looking for award-winning wheels...
