U-S-A-s! The Greatest Show on Earth!

Yes, as far as our crazy, circus world that we consider home, our lifestyle of extreme fitness, bodybuilding and physique culture, this past weekend's events could well be considered the "Big Top".  (circus music motif playing in the background)

We were in Las Vegas this past weekend for what was an incredible weekend for me personally, for our 619 Muscle Team and Family, and for several specific family members.

I'd like to say congratulations to the following 619 athletes, who kicked some awesome butt!

Roz Vail, our dear girl, qualified for national level show - braved the competition stage in Figure B class, and stood well against other top level champs from across the nation!  GO ROZ!

Congratulations to 619 local, Crystal Lowery, who earned her pro status in the Figure A class - go Crystal!

619 local trainer, Richie Moran, just coming off a middleweight win at the extremely competitive L.A. show last weekend, was able to suck down and make the Welterweights - he rocked it, placing 3rd behind two terrific athletes.  Way to go, Rich!  Make the family proud!

PD Devers presented what had to be one of his best conditions ever - he looked awesome~!  He squeezed into the finals, placing 5th in the highly competitive Heavyweight class, behind some killer big dudes!

And, me, I pushed hard this past year - achieving my best condition to date - and at my heaviest competition weight so far in my career - 197lbs...I felt great!  I placed 6th at this one - but being able to stand on stage next to Curtis Bryant, (one of the two pro-card winners for this event) as well as the other incredible athletes,  - it was an awesome experience!

Congratulations again to all the champion athletes who stood onstage this past weekend!  It was an amazing show!

A special thanks to Team 619 Muscle's Derik Farnsworth and Meriza DeGuzman, IFBB Pro's, and Luke Andreotti, too - for all the support and patience you guys showed me!  And to Tomas and Adam, my staff at the store - without them, the stress of the weekend would have been immense!

Also, a huge thanks to Jon Lindsay, Jim Manion and the NPC for such an awesome experience.

And I'd like to say thanks to J.M. Manion as well, for shooting Meriza and I on Sunday - that was quite an experience (wait til you all see the shots!)....

And, to the entire 619 Muscle family that made the trip from S.D. to Vegas, you guys rock!  Your love and energy were felt by many!
