My good friend, Alex Schonski, captured 1st place at the 'Masters' North American Championships of the re-established World Body Building Guild. The contest was held Saturday August 25th/07 in South Portland, Maine USA.
I was very proud of him after being away for physique competition for some 22 years!!
Both Alex and i have lived in and around Toronto Ontario Canada.
I have always been a strong supporter of NABBA and the idea of the WBBG returning is also so welcomed in opening greater opportunities for bodybuilders throughout the USA and beyond as well!!

thats great Will-I know they are looking to get representation even down this end of the world,but being a small country means there are too many federations for the number of competitors we already have. It may do better in Australia though  |

Thanks for the kind words Will. Also thanks must go to you, and my Josie ,you for training and prep advice and Josie for preparing my meals and putting up with my cranky mood in general. Thanks for the congrats from the members as well. It was good to get back to the thing I truly love to do.At first I thought I was taking on more than I could handle but as the training progressed so did my confidence in myself. I will strive to be in even better shape at the N.A.B.B.A Junior Nationals next year in Phili.. Hope to see some of the guys like Tim if he competes. IT IS TRULY GREAT TO BE BACK! Oh yes and its grreat to be listed on Muscle Memory as well. All the best to every one. Still a great site Tim been a while since I was last on . Train hard everyone, live your dreams.

It was also truly an honour to meet Mr.Dan Lurie a forefather of our sport , and a man of genuine caracter indeed. Alo Steve Michalik, John Defendis, Harold Poole ,and Bob Gadja. These guys were all very nice to talk with ,no huge egos ,all down to earth . They were all inducted into the W.B.B.G Hall of Fame,after the banquet that followed the contest. It was great to meet so many greats all at once, and to find them all so easy to talk with .A GREAT EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. Thanks to Dan, and all the others that made it such a wonderful experience for all to enjoy.
