Lance Johnson (middle) who won the Masters Lightheavies posing in the Open Class where he took 3rd.

Looks great for a guy in his forties huh?

[Tim Wescott]

My buddy from upstate NY,Sam Zona (far right) who took 3rd. in a tough Heavyweight Class!!

thanks to Bill Comstock and www.graphicmuscle.com for the great pics!!

Looks like some stiff competition there! I'll have to review some of the pics on graphicmuscle and get some conversation going here!

It would be nice if graphicmuscle could get some individual pics posted under the names so we could know who's who!

One guy who I'm impressed with is Dave Pulcinella- he's not the most aesthetic or massive guy but somehow he can do on hell of a front lat spread, a pose that I actually think is pretty tough for alot of guys to pull off.

[cavemuscle]

Lance looks MUCH better here than he did at Europa, much tighter. I'm glad he did so well!

[mrky03]

Wow, can you believe that guy's calves in the heavy wt. class!

These guys are monsters! The masters class is unbelievable!

[Tim Wescott]

Here`s a great shot of Lance Johnson,an uncrowned pro if there ever was one!!

[Sal Paradise]

I was at the show - prejudging anyway and here's my take on it.

To me Lance was the most impressive. He was a freak and the only one to pull off a vacuum pose as witnessed above.

Also I think the show was slightly sub-par for this level of show. Now that's not to say the guys weren't impressive but for the North Americans the were too many guys that just came in hard and not very many that were striated. Even Leo Ingram was not striated for the most part.
I don't know who the super heavy was that won the overall masters but i had Lance at that spot. He should have taken the pro card. but I can't really remeber the masters SH except that I thought they should have been harder. If someone can post a pic of Gus Malliarodakis taht might make it easier to remember.
I even though Lance had a good shot at the open class and according to the site listed it looks like he got 2nd. I could have gone either way for that class it was close.

Now that being said Leo was a step ahead of everyone else as far as size and shape so it is not a big shock to see him win it all.

mrky03 - the HW with the wheels --- well they were just plain freaky. Pro legs to be sure. Calves were out of this world. He was standing next to my buddy and we were talking about his legs and he even gave us a preview. He did need some more upper body and his condition was not on the same level top to bottom. But he did impress quite a few with those legs.

Dan Demas did look good but I think he was just a little outmuscled on some areas. He looked great though and a well deserved placing.

Sam Zona was very thick and way inpressive. I think his only area of trouble was his structure. He looked a little bunched up when hitting some poses such as a dbl bi shot. His shoulder width was just not as impressive as some of the other guys and I'm talking bone structure not muscle becasue he was one thick SOB@!!@!

Like I said it was a good show but on some level I just thought somethign was lacking when so many of the guys were missing something ( a lot were lacking chest thickness) or were not as striated as I have seen on the local level.

Either way it was fun and it gave me a new perspective to drive a little bit harder in the gym. It's kind of hard whne you're the biggest and strogest guy in the gym to keep pushing yourself.
That's not being conceited it's just a small gym!!
When a guy in the audience sat down in front of my buddy and had bigger forearms than we had biceps somethign told me were are slacking a little in the gym efforts.

Thanks Tim and in my oh so humble opinion Gus was NOT a better bodybuilder that day.

He was in great shape but if you would have seen Lance that day you would have agreed with me.
Lance just made my jaw drop as well as my buddy.
He was truly impressive.

I agree,I have done the Masters Nationals with Lance and he is simply incredible.

He should have won a pro-card years ago but for some reason,they keep passing him by.

I have no clue what they want from the guy,but he`s damn near perfect and mpressive as hell.

You don`t see a vacuum,forearms,calves,and posing like his too damn often nowadays.

[mrbeefy]

Anybody have the listing of how the female figure and female bodybuilders placed? I had a few freinds at the show, and curious how they placed. The listing at the site just shows the nameas, but not their placing

[Tim Wescott]

Sherry Smith,won the Womans Overall Bodybuilding but I have no info on the complete results yet.

[mrbeefy]

Wow! I can see why she won too!
Well...I'm sure the placing will post somewhere eventually!
Thanks Tim!

[GerryT]

All I heard so far is that my friend Jan Horn won her masters figure class, but unfortuantely not overall.

Don't know what else Lance has to doto get that pro card. With his size and thickness, he is virtually impossible to overlook. he looked outstanding again, as did Dave Pulcinella. And his 2nd in the open lhw class underscores how good he was.

Congrats to Gus and Leo and the other pros!

[Sal Paradise]

A little something I ran across today.
