emceed the IFBB Toronto Pro Bodybuilding Championships (won by IFBB Pro Juan Morel and IFBB Pro Guy Cisternino).
IFBB Pro Cedric McMillan

crowd participation and photo ops throughout his set. IFBB Pro Tricky
Jackson guest-posed at the NPC Iron Viking of the North Bodybuilding
Championships in Duluth, Minnesota. IFBB Pro Mamdouh Elssbiay, a.k.a.
"Big Ramy" (2-time New York Pro Champion) and IFBB Pro Dennis Wolf
(winner of the Arnold Sports Festival's 2014 IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic Bodybuilding
Championships) were the featured guest-posers at the NPC Dennis James
Classic in Phoenix, Arizona, where IFBB Pro Flex Wheeler was spotted
with host IFBB Pro Dennis James.
Andrew Oye's Verdict: The event in Toronto offered a lot both on and off the stage. The
contest awarded IFBB Pro Olympia Qualification Series points to
competitors aiming for Joe Weider's Olympia Weekend, and the expo
offered insight from top bodybuilders from both ends of the spectrum.
Repping the 212 Division perspective, IFBB Pro Jose Raymond hosted a
training, nutrition and contest-prep Q&A. For the Open Division,
reigning 3-tme Mr. Olympia IFBB Pro Phil Heath conducted a seminar with a
motivational message, saying to attendees, "It all started because I
chose to try. I decided to start. You can, too. I challenge you to go
after those goals because they are worth going after."
