The Scoop: Recently Reported: IFBB Pro League athletes had career updates or made recent guest
appearances at various sports, bodybuilding, physique and fitness
events. The latest "Andrew Oye's Pro-Muscle Report" Pro Athletes Roundup
includes a nod to the quickly approaching Joe Weider's Olympia Weekend
(September 18-21), tracking the moves of a few Olympia-division
titleholders and contenders.
The "So What?": Over the weekend, 3-time Mr. Olympia IFBB Pro Phil Heath and 4-time Mr.
Olympia IFBB Pro Jay Cutler were specially invited guests for a Q&A
Session at the inaugural IFBB Golden State Grand Prix Pro Bodybuilding
Championships in Sacramento, California, where IFBB Pro Bob Cicherillo
emceed the event and IFBB Pro William Bonac won the contest. Another
Olympia Sandow-trophy holder and the 4-time winner of the Arnold Sports
Festival's IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic Bodybuilding
Championships, IFBB Pro Dexter Jackson hosted his annual NPC Dexter
Jackson Classic in Jacksonville, Florida. The IFBB Pro World Masters
Championships winner, nicknamed "The Blade," also guest-posed at his own
event.
Keeping with this report's Olympia-contestant theme,
2-time Ms. Figure Olympia IFBB Pro Erin Stern held a meet-and-greet at
the NPC Knox Classic Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee, which
included a fitness-dance routine performed by 5-time Ms. Fitness Olympia
contender and former NFL Atlanta Falcons cheerleader IFBB Pro Nicole
Duncan, as well as a guest-poser performance by rookie IFBB Pro Dallas
McCarver. On the international front, IFBB Pro Cedric McMillan, a
first-time Olympia contender last year, made an appearance in Budapest,
Hungary, conducting an outdoor Muscle Beach training demo.
Andrew Oye's Verdict: The final Open-Division, pre-game IFBB Pro Olympia Qualification Series
contest is the IFBB Tampa Pro Bodybuilding Championships in Florida
(August 9). Among those on the competitors list: IFBB Pro Baitollah
Abbaspour (2012 and 2013 Olympia contender), Powerlifter and IFBB Pro
Ben White (2011 Olympia contender), and 2011 Arnold Classic Europe Champ
