The Bodybuilding world lost a legend on November 13th, 2012. Sergio Oliva, also known as “The Myth”, passed away at Saint Frances Hospital in Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The official cause of death was a heart attack although Sergio had been in ill health over the last several years and had been on dialysis for kidney failure in the months leading up to his death.
Before the figure class was introduced into the IFBB Amanda Doherty was competing in the fitness division in the IFBB Pro ranks. Many will know Amanda's well known husband, contest promoter and gym owner Tony Doherty who I'm sure will be backing his wife 100% as she preps for her first show in 8 years!
IFBB Pro Victor Martinez has been out of lock up for a little more than 3 months and has already gained back a tremendous amount of size. I saw him this past weekend at the IFBB PBW Tampa Pro show and, by the looks of him, you’d never know he recently spent the better part of 2012 behind bars. However, with the 2012 Mr. Olympia only 7 weeks away, it still doesn't look as if Victor should be putting his physique on the line by competing in the O.
It seems with the growing popularity of the women's physique division in the IFBB pro ranks, the NPFC/IFBB amateur ranks in Australia have decided to follow suit with the addition of the new class.
In 2007, IFBB Pro Kris Dim, 39, came face to face with death when he suffered a tear in the inner wall of his aorta. This potentially fatal incident caused massive blood flow between the layers of the wall of the aorta. The aorta is the highest pressure spot in the body, so when there is a rupture, there is bound to be serious ramafications. Basically, when this rare occurrence happens, the person generally dies very quickly. Aortic dissection has a 80% mortality rate and more than half of the people die before they even get to the hospital. Kris Dim miraculously survived this medical emergency and even competed again after his recovery! Sadly, Kris’ medical troubles only began in 2007. Recently, Kris went back under the knife to repair a stent. When Kris came out of surgery, his doctors told him, “Sorry, you have a spinal cord injury, and there is a chance that you will never walk again.”
This week at Rx Muscle Australia we had the chance to catch-up with one of Australia's top amatauer bodybuilders, IFBB Mr Australia Champion and Bioflex Nutrition sponsored superstar Rohan Reid to get the low down on his up coming Muscle Camp...here's what he had to say;
Today, Shawn “Flexatron” Rhoden announced that he will competing in the 2012 IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championship in Tampa, Florida. For this prep he’s been working with Chris “The technician” Aceto, and Chris says that the only people that will be disappointed with how Shaun looks in Tampa are his fellow competitors. With the exception of the Arnold Classic, the IFBB PBW Championships will be the most competitive and deepest line-up of the year.
Australian Bodybuilding fans knew we had a strong team heading to the NABBA Worlds this year with former Mr World Charlie Duca, the much improved Phil Primmer & young up and coming star Jake Nikolopoulos.
Here at Rx Muscle Australia, we are very excited to announce we have a new sponsor on board! Mass Nutrition has stepped up the plate in their support for Australian Bodybuilding as it goes into a new era in the form of Rx Muscle Australia.
Evan Centopani, after declining Tony Doherty's pleas to come out to Australian earlier this year for the 2012 Australian Pro Grand Prix, has made an agreement to come out for an Australian tour later this year.
