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....

For example, the following is the training split I use most often during the off-season. This training schedule helps me add size, works best for me, and I trust it will be helpful for you as well...
anyone involved in living a very health oriented lifestyle one thing is predominant in our daily diet…and that is protein. However, until recently, I didn’t know just how detrimental to muscle building one of the sources I was taking in could be. By: Emily Zaler Author of The EZ Whey Cookbook

the cover of the April 2004 domestic issue of Men’s Fitness magazine. I guess I didn’t realize it at the time, but that was kind of unique & remarkable, especially now that Men’s Fitness typically only puts celebrities on their covers. More commonly, fitness models tend to work their way up to landing a national fitness-magazine cover by appearing on several e-magazine or catalog covers first before they’re even considered for a national magazine cover-try. Yet there I was, inexperienced and naïve somehow landing Men’s Fitness as my first cover! Was it because I was a genetic Adonis? Was I simply lucky? Was it because I was persistent & a proactive self-promoter? The answer to all these questions was NO! Obviously I had the ‘look’ necessary to appear on a fit-mag cover, but so did several thousand other guys. So what set me apart from all of them?Subscribe to RxMuscle on Youtube
