Phano Som This is a new training journal which I have started to give the readers an insight of mine and Dave's progress as we prepare for the Mr. GA 2002. Some of it may be crude because I'm telling it like it is, so read at your own risk. Perhaps you can garner something from this to see how we really train. Click Here To Enter!

David Knowles My next contest is in the beginning of July. Hopefully, you'll be able to see the kind of intensity that Phano and I work at, and will be able to apply what you learn to your own workout. Please note, that the recap of our workout can be a little "rough" as far as language is concerned, so read at your own risk. Sorry, but I can't just give you the Disney version of our style.

Todd Blue I have been planning this for some time and now is the time. I am making plans on competing in 2003 in one of the Muscle Mania events. My goal is to completely rock the natural bodybuilding world with size in 2003. So for all of 2002 and half of 2003 all I will be doing is muscle building. No cardio, no dieting only building.

Alton Hare This is going to be my complete personal training journal in the time leading up to my first bodybuilding contest. I hope that posting my workouts and my diet will motivate me to try harder, and everyone who reads my articles. My training doesn't follow any particular style, it's my style, not Max-OT or HIT or I.C.E. My training is going to be a bodybuilding/powerlifting hybrid though. Click Here To Enter!

Derek Charlebois After I showed my pictures to some friends, who are into bodybuilding and powerlifting, they told me I was ready to compete. They also greatly boosted my confidence with their comments. Because of their support, I decided to enter the Northern Bodybuilding Classic and Xtreme Fit competition. This is a natural contest, sanctioned by the N.A.N.B.F. Each week I will update you on my progress, tell you what I am doing to prepare, and show you my latest pics. It will end with my competition experience article and my contest pics. Wish me luck! Click Here To Enter!

Curtis Dennis Jr. Since 1997, I've competed in eight powerlifting competitions and placed first in five of them. I still compete today even though I've dropped body fat just to have the look of a bodybuilder, I'm stronger now at 220 than I ever was at 246. My bench is currently 350 for a double, 545 squat (not deep), and 540 deadlift. I'm hoping to compete in the nationals this year and really compete with the best! Click Here To Enter!

My Training Log 2/25-3/03!
Hey everyone, I'm starting a training log so that you can get an idea of what Phano and I actually do in the gym. At this point, I'm a little over 5 months out from my next contest which is in the beginning of July.
