I recently had the Honor and Opportunity to Compete at the 2011 NPC USA’s in Men’s Physique! This truly was a special time for many reasons; it was the LARGEST National NPC Competition to date with nearly 700 Competitors (roughly 100 of them Men’s Physique), it was the First NPC USA to include Men’s and Women’s Physique, and lastly it was my very first National Level NPC Competition! All of these things combined with the AMAZING Competitors, Fans, Family, and Friends made for one amazing experience!
There are so many times when we have a 
great model shoot planned but maybe not a great location.Short notice, no notice, but make them look great. Well, there are a few things we can do as models and photographers that can give us great results even when the location is less than perfect.
When my old trainer needed some promotional photos for his website, I was happy to get things moving, however, we had no time and a very small space to give a “hardcore gym”, look. We actually found a piece of corrugated plastic roofing lying behind the house and just propped it up for a makeshift studio. Now the dimensions of my background material were 8 feet by only 4 feet, so I had very little area to shoot at so we had to get creative...
muscle tissue is the lack of a full eccentric and concentric contractions of the muscle.

Having proper nutrition in place is takes planning and preparation. If we tried to eat healthy without having meals planned out and food prepared in advance we would fail. Cooking in bulk is the secret. Cooking in bulk is the best way to prepare food. Again if you tried to cook a chicken breast every time you needed to eat you would spend a lot of time cooking. So here are some great ways to prepare food to succeed...

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..
that you build a house from the ground up. To many times I've seen top heavy guys in the gym wearing tank tops and long pants. Guess what, they are not making a fashion statement they are covering up those chicken legs. Their work out routine usually consists of chest, arms, back, shoulders and repeat.
