Wish I could be there! With expo and other events, it should be incredible. Betty and Ed Pariso run a great show.
My pal Lance Johnson will be in the NPC event as a warm up for the North American. Will be rooting in spirit.
Best to all the competitors!

Sounds right, Andrew. Darrem is usually on and tough to beat.
Eligible to surprise are Silvio Samuel and Rodney St Cloud. Silvio had an excellent feature in MD recently and looks terrific. And Rodney has had his best pro placings so far this year.
Should be interesting!

Should be one of the most competitive contests yet this year.
Anybody remember Dave Fischer..........guy was great!!
I hope his comeback is awesome and he is ready.
Darrem is my man,but I think he`s really gonna` struggle on this one with Johnny Jackson,Freeman,Wolfe,Farah,and St. Cloud!!

The women BBs look really interesting also. Kim Buck looked really sleek and muscular winning the overall Masters Womens Nats in Pittsburgh. This will be her pro debut.
And I'm rooting for Vicki Nixon. Like Betty Pariso, she is an ageless 47!!
Julie Palmer is always tough to beat in fitness. And figure looks really close. The Mayhem girls (Mavis, Christine, Amy, etc.) should make good showings.
Good luck to all the ladies and gentlemen competing!!

I remember David Fischer - big blond guy- hope he does well so we can score another for us more "mature" guys. I think if Dennis Wolfe can get dried out he'll be a tough one - definatley top 3... although since he's from out of USA I hope he's given a fair shake. I'd like to see Quincy Taylor do well.

Wow! Great lineup. Agree with Darrem up top; just depends what the judges decide to award. Should be interesting to see what shape Atwood brings given his previously posted pics here.

Pretty cool lineup. THere are a bunch of guys in there that I am really excited to see. Dennis Wolfe Art Atwood Darem Charles Marcus Haley Johnny Jackson Toney Freeman King Kamali Quincy Taylor!!!
THese are guys that I am glad to see on stage! Wolf is a freak and I think if he can improve his legs a little he'll do some damage. I've always been a Chalres and Freeman fan so I hope they do well, but I'm pulling for my boy QT! He's a BIG FREAK!

I'll be there! Leaving tomorrow around noon to miss the Dallas traffic. I'm Bunking with Ben Pitre at the Hilton across the street and we have tickets for all the pre-judging and Finals. Ben's pretty much going to sit with me and explain what the good and bad points are with each competitor, rate routines, etc. It's also the weekend of the Max Muscle Franchisee convention so my buddy and nutrition guru Brandon will be down as well.
Anyone else from here going?
Brock
