Ronnie Coleman On Stage

I came across this photo in Flex magazine and thought it was terrific. I believe that's Joe Weider presenting Ronnie with his medal. I have no idea when this was taken. Photo by Ian Spanier.

{Sorry, according to readers' comments that's Ben Weider and the year is 2006. Thanks everyone.}

Some Highlights from the 2008 NPC USA

A couple of readers have asked for more pics of Brandon Curry and some time ago someone requested more group pics so here are my picks of pics from the contest.

The top heavyweights. From left to right: Lee Banks (3rd place), Mark Alvisi (4th), Michael Liberatore (2nd), Brandon Curry (1st).

The Athletic Look

No hulking roid monsters, just good looking guys. Variety, and all that.

Mixed Muscle

Today's mix consists of Brandon Curry, who just won the overall title at the 2008 NPC USA Championships, Evan Centopani, and Craig Richardson. Craig is new to me but not to bodybuilding. You can find him at http://www.craigrichardson.net/. And he's won second place in the 2008 IFBB Houston Pro.
