hat’s right Frankly Shredded. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division? Thanks Ian, means a lot, I worked extremely hard for the showing I displayed. My decision to compete in the Men’s Physique Division actually started with one of my best friends and training buddy, Steven Aros, bringing this new division and the NPC Fresno Classic to my attention back in March. After giving it some thought I initially started by adjusting my training and it wasn’t until about 3 weeks out from the Classic did I fully commit to this show. About 2 weeks out I was introduced to my current trainer/coach Aron Fisher. Steven and I met up with him and the three of us weren’t really sure what the judges would exactly be looking for in this all new division. Aron is very experienced in competition prep, training, diet,..

What are your thoughts on Men's Physique?
I think it's a great addition to the sport..it will bring a whole new dimension and audience and hopefully be just as popular as the bodybuilding aspect .. I'm looking forward to being a part of that and growing with this division..
IFBB Men’s Physique Competitors Dean Fazzolari. Congrats on a great showing and earning your IFBB Card! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division? Thank you Ian, it was a 24/7 commitment but worth every minute of it. I started off just bouncing in a club, and I was approached by a fellow bouncer who told me about the Physique Class that is being introduced to the NPC. Now, he had my attention. He explained what it would entail and then I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Dan Hawtin from G-Force. Dan saw my potential for being a Pro in this division. He took me under his wing, welcomed me to the team and put me to work every day while monitoring my diet and figure while he and the rest of the team gave their full support. I trained for my first show 10 days out....

What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division?
I appreciate the opportunity that this new division provides. Without the creation of men's physique, I most likely would have never experienced the thrill of being on stage in competition.

Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
My Most recent competition was this past Saturday, the Junior Nationals in Chicago. It had many competitors and a great big venue. It was definitely a learning experience.
Thank you Ian! I have trained hard many years for sports and recently I have been training with no purpose just training to train. I had two friends compete in men’s physique and I saw how much fun they had and thought it was time to train for a reason and join the fun. Men’s physique gave me a new reason to train hard and to set new goals.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
I competed in the southern California men’s physique in San Diego B-Class. There were a lot more guys then I expected and some great physiques. I didn't know what to really expect but everyone was so friendly and helpful it made everything easy and enjoyable. For my first show I had a great experience and I am hooked and looking forward to competing in many more shows.

We are here with Ron Gallagher, NPC Competitor.
Thanks for joining us today. Let's get right to it. We want to hear what you have to say and where you are headed in the NPC.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division? I’m really for it! Finally there is a division for the male athletes out there. I am hoping for the NPC to implement some posing into our division as well. The Women’s physique division are posing and also showing off a lot more body. I really hope the will go away from the board shorts and have us wear some type of tight briefs. That way we can see the lower portion and therefore make the decisions for the judges more clear.
