What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division?
I think this division is going to become very popular very fast. I think the sport of Physique is going to attract many different athletes from different athletic backgrounds.

Alex Carneiro wins 1st ever NPC Men's Physique show in California

There were tons of great physiques on stage in Culver City. There were roughly 50 competitors in the whole division. There was a masters class (35 years and up), Short A (up to 5' 8") Medium B (5' 8" to 5' 10") and Tall C (Over 5' 10").

Overall there were basically twice as many Men's Physique Competitors as there were Male Body Builders. This just goes to show that this new division is going to explode! To catch everyone up on the overall winner...it was Alex Carneiro. He made the trip to CA from Denver and boy was he happy he did. An impressive display and a great attitude earned Alex the win.

What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division?
Very excited to compete in this new category. Finally a competition that appreciate esthetic in a different new way. A more realistic physique that is more attainable for Men in general. I think it’s going to be refreshing to the bodybuilding scene and hopefully inspire a lot of people to look like that. Bringing this new type of physique will definitely attract more audience to bodybuilding which is a good thing since I consider it the healthiest and most complete sport of all. It will show that you can be a bodybuilder and look healthy and esthetically perfectly balanced.

Tan Tan Tan

I stepped on stage with a mystic spray tan at it's darkest level and a subtle bronzer on top of that. After the pre-judging I asked the head judge what he thought so far. He said I was too light. After seeing the guys that were getting the early callbacks it appears that a dark tan is the way to go. Perhaps not as dark and some of the bodybuilders go...but definitely darker than one would be for a photoshoot.

Men's Physique is Going to be HUGE! On site in CA

Now it is offical, Men's Physique has hit CA!

I am at the Men's Physique show in Culver city today. www.musclecontest.com The turnout for the event is great. There must be 50+ guys here to compete in the Men's Physique division of the show. A new door has been opened. As head judge Lee Thompson and promotor Jon Lindsay say, "Now there is no excuse for anyone in the audience not to do the show." Obviously a certain amount of conditioning and preparation is necessary; but, this opens the door for so many men that love to train but don't want to put on the sheer mass necessary to be a body builder, or the tiny little underwear.

Check in at 8AM went smoothly...now its a little downtime waiting until prejudging at 11AM.
