Tampa Pro

[Ott Kiivikas 817]

6 nädala pärast toimub Tampa Pro, seal teeb oma proffidebüüdi ka mees, kellega koos olen korduvalt amatöörides võistlenud ja samuti oma esimesel juuniortie tiitlivõistlusel Euroopa Mv 1998a. Aleksei Shabunya.

Aleksei on mulle nende aastatega rohkem kui võistluskaaslane olnud, meist on ajapikku saanud sõbrad ja viimati kohtusime eelmise aasta Arnold amateur Classicul. Oleme ikka olnud telefoniühenduses ja ehk õnnestub mees saada ka ühsitreeningule Tallinnasse sel sügisel, elame - näeme. Edu Alekseile pro leeris.

6 weeks out Shabunya

A mere 8 weeks out from the Tampa Pro show and attempting to qualify for the 2013 Mr. Olympia competition, Animal athlete and IFBB Pro Evan "Ox" Centopani takes a cerebral approach to making improvements. Examining his genetics and structure, diagnosing his perceived weaknesses, he applies new training techniques in order to grow. In this video, Ox also discusses what he looks for in an ideal training partner and he employs a new method in analyzing his physique and gauging his progress.

And Santana Anderson 5 weeks out;

FBB Pro Lionel Beyeke is on the hunt for a win this 2013 bodybuilding season. The aesthetics of this bodybuilder from France should make him unbeatable in just about any contest he enters. However, the contestant is judged on how he looks that day on stage, not on his potential. Can Lionel live up to his true potential and win the Tampa show in 3 weeks?

Here's a recent photo he posted on his Facebook page.

Evan Centopani will step on the stage in Tampa at the end of this week for the first time since placing eighth at the 2012 Mr. Olympia. He's proven to be the kind of athlete who makes very calculated moves. Throughout his career he's skipped many shows others thought he should do. But Evan doesn't just want an easy win. He wants to step on the stage when he's made improvements. There is no doubt we'll see a bigger, better Evan step on stage this weekend in Tampa. If not, he wouldn't be doing it. Team MD checked in with Evan along the way to bring you a glimpse of what Evan's life is like away from the spotlight
