To truly appreciate the sheer magnitude of the 5th Annual South Jersey Physique Championships, held in Mt. Laurel N.J. one need only pay a brief visit to its official web site www.BodybuildingShows.com, but check out the highlights below. BodyBuilding.com really helped us promote this event this year and thanks for the shirts guys they are awesome. We had over 8,000 people attend the show and expo and over 110 exhibitors this year.

We are really creating an Arnold Like Atmosphere here in New Jersey with our Martial Arts Competition, Speakers and vendors.

This is the 5th straight year we have held the Championships in South Jersey. One of the Great things was that 20 athletes were veterans of our shows including 3 that are now Pro and we had 10 First Time Competitors as well. As the promoter for all 5 years I would have to say that this year we had the best group of athletes so far.

Karate Division.

When you have an athlete that is almost totally complete and cannot win, Like Frank Ulrich you must have great competition. The list could go on all day but just check out our results and photos on our web site. Rising National Stars like Lidia Amaro and Anthony DeAngelis as well as Figure Athlete Desire Tambascia earned their pro cards so next year they can earn money in the NPAF.

We are forming our own organization called the NPAF Natural Physique and Figure. We will have our web site up and running in the next few days at www.NPAF.us we look forward to having you at our next show.

Special Thanks:

Much of the credit for the tremendous success of these shows goes to James and Grace Jefferson of Your Personal Trainer LLC. James and Grace have dedicated themselves for over 20 years, to build a huge following of natural bodybuilding and figure in South Jersey. Along with the many volunteers that helped out this show was a huge success.

The athletes showed up lean and mean and hit the stage ready for action and we crowned three brand new Pro South Jersey Athletes with their overall wins. It is certain that this awesome show would not have come to pass had it not been for the tireless efforts of many dedicated and committed officials, most notably Joshua Katz, Nick Marola, Susan Jacabucci and Side Show Bob, and of Course TEAM VIC TRINGALI whom saved the day when our Head Judge had two flat tires and could not make it.

We also want to thank all of our fantastic volunteers, the great vendors like Vitamin Shoppe, Achieve Fitness and many others as well as our friends and family who all chipped in to make this the best show in South Jersey History. It only gets better from here for South Jersey.

The NPAF salutes the participants - officials, athletes and supporters - and commends the tireless efforts of all involved ensuring a highly successful Show. Congratulations!

Promoter and Expo Director
