I hope this update finds each of you doing well and training hard for the upcoming Texas State Championships. This years competition will feature the best-of-the-best in the state of Texas, guaranteed. 2X Mr. Olympia, Big Jay Cutler is coming to H-Town along with 3X Ms. Fitness Olympia Adela Garcia. Not to be missed is "super model" Jamie Eason and John "The Tank"
Sherman (I'm sure 3X Ms. Olympia Iris Kyle will be there with John signing autographs as well). Hosting this years competition are my good friends Bob Chicerillo and Shawn Ray. Branch Warren and many other names in the industry will be walking around for all to see. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that bodybuilding legend Lee Labrada is back as my
co-promoter of this show. You will all have the opportunity to visit with Lee at his booth during the contest.

May 23 Update

Greetings All,

I hope this update finds each of you training hard for an upcoming contest. I have had many calls from novice and open competitors alike questioning whether or not they should compete in more than one contest or back-to-back contest? The answer is yes, stage time only benefits you from a pose and presentation perspective and also allows you see where you stand in comparison with other competitors. Look at some of the pros in our state. For instance, 2007 New York Champion Branch Warren is competing in three contest over a four week time period. Why? He is in shape and will ride the conditioning wave as long as he can. As an amateur you too should ride the “conditioning” wave.

We have many opportunities to take advantage of back-to-back contest. In July for instance we have the South Texas Classic (San Antonio), the Branch Warren Classic (Conroe) and the John Sherman Classic (Stafford – suburb of Houston). These contest are a great opportunity to test your conditioning over a period of time. Then you can evaluate the balance of the year as to which contest you should do. We still have the Central Texas Round-Up. Promoter Cecil Ballard has gone all out on this one. He has many guest posers and has gone the extra mile to make sure you the competitor are treated to a great contest. Also coming up is the Europa Super Show in Dallas. This show will be bigger and better than past shows and will be highly competitive. Afterward, we have many good contest for you to prepare for the grand Texas State Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness Championships. This is a must enter for any Texas athlete with the opportunity of being named Mr. or Ms. Texas. Coupled with the fact that we will have Lee Labrada (co-promoter), Jay Cutler, Bob Chicerillo, Shawn Ray, Adela Garcia, Jamie Eason and a UFC fighter still to be named.

As you can see we have a lot of great contest coming soon. We look forward to seeing you on stage soon!

Until then, train hard and demonstrate sportsmanship always.

May 4 Update

Greetings All,

I apologize for the delay in getting this update out. Things have been extremely busy lately in the bodybuilding world.

We just wrapped up the Ronnie Coleman Classic. Wow, what a contest! Promoter, Brian Dobson reported that this years show broke both contestant and attendance records. Brian and his staff did a great job in making this show so big and well organized. Competitors and fans a like enjoyed a great day of bodybuilding. I tip my hat to all competitors. You all looked great and there were several tough classes to judge. Our overall winners were incredible. The figure overall winner went on to the Jr. USA's to win her class, which had more that 43 competitors. Up next for Brian and his team is the Branch Warren Classic.

On the horizon for NPC Texas is Prince Harrison's, Lone Star Classic contest on June 2 in Plano, TX. Followed by new promoter and national level competitor Prince Fontenot and his wife Debbie's South Texas Classic on June 30th. Then we move into the Branch Warren Classic in Conroe, TX on July 7 followed by the big one, the John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness Championships and Houston Pro Figure Contest to be held at the Stafford Convention Center. Even if you are not competing in these contest, please get out and support our members, promoters and sponsors.

This years Texas State Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness Championships presented by Lee Labrada will be held October 27 at the Stafford Convention Center. Mr. O, Jay Cutler, Ms. O, Iris Kyle (and hopefully by the Sherman...this is a hint John), Ms. Fitness O, Adela Garcia, Shawn Ray, Bob Chicerillo, Special Guest Jamie Eason and a to-be-named UFC fighter will all
be in attendance at this years contest. I look forward to seeing you there.

I want to congratulate those Texas competitors who recently competed in the the Jr. USA in Charleston, SC. It was an honor to judge you. You each did very well and represented you state well!
