This past weekend I was privileged to attend the PBW Tampa Bay Pro Championships. Tim Gardner did a excellent job putting on a fantastic show. He also provided me with the perfect hunting ground for top shelf gossip! A brocheh (a blessing) to you Tim!
I want to give a shout out to Shawn Ray, who told me he was a fan of the Yuckmouth Yenta column. He did, however, follow up the compliment with, "Just don't write anything about me in there." Well Shawn, I gotta at least clear up the speculation about your Martin Luther King-inspired"I had a dream. . ." post on MD. For those who aren't familiar with Shawn's recent fantasy sequence, it detailed a desire to return to the competitive stage, and what might happen if did so. During the intermission of the PBW Tampa Pro, I asked Shawn what the deal was... Is he really contemplating a comeback?
UPDATE ON THE MILOS SARCEV ARREST: (as originally reported on Rx Muscle): (http://www.rxmuscle.com/articles/latest-news/1670-milos-sarcev-arrested-for-felony-robery.html)
Milos explained to me that the police arrived at his Koloseum Gym and asked him to voluntarily leave since the gym was in foreclosure for failure to pay rent. Milos refused so the police arrested him for robbery and trespassing (since, technically, he no longer owned the gym). According to Sarcev, he was released without bail.
I just got off the phone with Lee Priest and his lovely wife Rhaine, and he gave me the scoop on all the drama going on with his supplement company, LPN (Lee Priest Nutrition). Apparently, because of some shady business practices, Lee decided to part ways with his business partner and form a new company--: Assassin Nutrition. The crazy thing is that his old business partner is still selling Lee Priest Nutrition products sans Lee Priest! Lee and Rhaine are currently working to have Lee's image and name stripped from the old line. Incidentally, Jerry Beck of Iron Asylum did all the artwork for the new Assassin Nutrition labels which feature Lee's back tattoo! Lee tells me all systems are still GO for his return to the stage November 6th at the IFBB Sacramento Pro! His diet starts in less than 2 weeks and he's sitting at a lean 225lbs. After the Sacramento Pro he plans to do both the Australian Pro and the new British Grand Prix!
This past weekend at Jr. Nationals in Chicago, I sat in the press pit next to George Farah and Shawn Ray. Between critiquing the competitors and helping Shawn with the play-by-play, Farrah said to me, "That Romano; he hiding behind his keyboard telling lies about me". I can only infer from this statement that he felt like John's recent article, More Carbs + Less Cardio = Fat Ass! (http://www.rxmuscle.com/articles/romanos-rage/1345-more-carbs-less-cardio-fat-ass-unless-.html). . . was referring to him and his alleged DNP protocols. George seemed none-too-happy with Mr. Romano! George is getting ready to step back onstage himself, for the IFBB Europa- Hartford show, and he was recently showcased in an MD training video
Many bodybuilding aficionados have be
en bemoaning the fact that classical posing has become a thing of the past in most modern-day bodybuilding competitions. The posing round is no longer judged in professional events and, as a result, many competitors don’t put as much time or effort into constructing a posing routine as their predecessors did in the past.
