2010 Europa Super Show in Dallas Reminder!

EuropaI hope all of you are going to be at the Dallas Convention Center August 13–14th to attend the 2010 IFBB/NPC Europa Super Show put on by Ed and Betty Pariso. It’s shaping up to be a really cool show with lots and lots of events to attend well beyond the pro/am bodybuilding competition.

Ed and Betty have taken contest promotion to a whole new level with their flavor of event. On top of IFBB Pro Mens bodybuilding and IFBB Fitness and Figure, there will also be NPC fitness, figure, bikini and bodybuilding. But there’s more…. Way more! There’s a Hot Fit Mom” contest, an opportunity to do a photo shoot with the real IFBB Pros up on stage, you can watch “Train with the Pros” at a gigantic gym set up in the middle of the expo hall, a hot body contest for male cover models, a fitness instructor of the year competition, power lifting, arm wrestling, an ASC Strong Man event, a fun midway for the kids, and much more including my favorite part – the muscle car show!

picture-1Q.- What got you into bodybuilding?

> When I was about 15 (in the late eighties) I got into weight training to prepare for a international schoolboy rugby union tour. I needed strength and size to be competitive against bigger kids.

I really enjoyed the results and the competitive nature of the team  training around me, I had no idea of nutrition and one of the other players in the team really spurred me on as he was really well defined and developed (for his age 17) he would have walked around at 5% bodyfat year round! From there I got really into it and at a news stand I saw my first bodybuilding magazine (FLEX) and it had Lee Haney on the cover (stage pic taken from 1988 Olympia).
