History in the Making. Report from the NPC USA's.

 

This is one of the biggest weekends for the Men’s Physique division in history.  At the Los Angeles Championships last weekend show promotor Jon Lindsay introduced the use of 6 Height classes in the MP Division.  The turnout at that show certainly warranted the need for this many classes.  He has brought the same number of classes to the USA’s this weekend in Vegas.  This is the first Pro Qualifier to have as many height classes.  Furthermore there will be two Pro Cards issued to the top two in each height class.  That totals out to 12 cards for MP Competitors this weekend…the most in NPC/IFBB MP History!

Get Over It



Like hurdlethe achievement of anything worthwhile your pursuit of a sexy, healthy and lean body is going to be met with a few obstacles.  Your ability to successfully hurdle all those obstacles will mean the difference between success and failure, frustration and celebration.

A man who knows a thing or two about getting over hurdles once said - when asked about tapping into potential -

       When asked about “potential” legendary Olympic Gold Medalist Edwin Moses once said:

          “Lots of people let it go by… and never accomplish what they want.”
