It was another killer NPC event in the SoCal region! Thanks to Jon Lindsay and the NPC, we had over 200 hard-working athletes bringing their all and strutting their stuff in the packed house of the Scottish Rite Center here in America's finest city! We want to congratulate all of the 619 Muscle friends and family who kicked butt, and left nothing for the short ride home!
Our friends who got up on stage and represented included: Kristi Krasja, Meg Kruse, Kristine Wilkes, Georgie Jackson, Lisa Raposa, Stephanie Love, Laleh Yaghoubi, Monique Whitney, Sandy Weathersley, Paige Clark, Julie Gjerset, Tammy LaShelle, Natalia, Billie and Brenda, Dr. Joy Blitz, Molly Aguilar, Michelle Bates, Tracey Rogers and Chuck Rogers, Koree VonBerg, David Medina, Jack Hill, Rory Love, Sylvia Duque, Vernessa and May, Carina, and the two Matt's from Camp Pendleton - as well as Kaysie Gunnoe, our dear friend of the family!
It was an amazing night! Derik Farnsworth, IFBB Pro and veteran of the stage, gave a classy/groovy guest posing presentation, and Meriza DeGuzman co-MC'd the evening event. Gina Aliotti (now Mrs. Silva) graced the day with her married self, all aglow, tanned and happy, freshly returning from her wedding and honeymoon.
Pete helps two of our nation's finest prepare for the battle on the stage, next week at the NPC San Diego Bodybuilding, Figure and Bikini Championships - March 20th, 2010.
Our tough, proud, U.S. Marines and amazing athletes, Matt Ewy and Matt Boatwright, joined Pete today at World Gym, San Diego, to drill posing and presentation in preparation for next week's show. IFBB Pro Figure, Sabrina Gibson, was also on hand to lend moral support! Let's get 'em, boys! OORAH!!
This is hardcore. This is what we do. Our goal is to out-perform ourselves, every single day. This drive to be better than we were yesterday is the fuel that keeps us growing. It's a monkey on your back that pushes you to be bigger than you thought you could be, better than you were yesterday, to out-do yourself, exceed your own expectations and work to be your own, personal superhero. This is the 619 Muscle way of life!
Back pounding, hard-core. It's growin' time! Watch me do pull ups...hahaha...not too bad for a bottom-heavy italian boy! ;) I'll get better as the diet kicks in, though!
Just got back from the Arnold - was a crazy busy time, fun, but fast and hectic - always is in Columbus. Had a great time, met up with old co-workers and friends, and pushed the family's cause while out in this annual industry/lifestyle gathering.
But now, this week, it's back home, back to the gym and back to business! Meriza's targeting the Cals, I'll be focusing on 20 more weeks of hard, hard training, and God-willing, I'll make an impression at the USA's. We've got many of our family gearing up for competition next week as well at the San Diego show! Best of luck to everyone! Kristi K (soon to be Romero...) is looking great, Rory and Steph have each made some amazing changes in their physiques, and both will show better than ever! Lisa Raposa will be making her stage debut, and is looking to do some damage in her class(es)...her hubby, Eric, has been crushing it and looks his typical awesome, hard-as-nails self...Ms. Kris W. is pushing hard to be the best she's ever been, and she's right on track! Family members Georgie and Meg are also in tremendous shape and will shine on stage! 619 Muscle friends, working with Mr. PD Devers, Laleh Yahgoubi and Monique Whitney are in amazing shape as well, as is our newest rookie, the beautiful Sandy Weathersley! (I'm so proud of lil' Ms. Sandy! we can't wait to see her strut her stuff! Jason G's working with his buddy, David M, who is looking ripped and ready - also making his stage debut next weekend...Derik's working with Jordan again, who's big, thick and ready for business in the lightheavies...it's gonna be a killer show, and the family is well-represented! And I've seen several other athletes prepping for the spring, so I'm not sure how close a few people are, but it's going to be a killer show, for sure!
Stay tuned for updates, pics and more!
And thanks in advance to Mr. Jon Lindsay and the NPC for what is sure to be another kick ass bodybuilding event in San Diego!
