Pro/Am Contests Blog

On Friday and Saturday April 18 & 19 in Panama City Beach, FL was the NPC Southern USA Classic bodybuilding & Shannon Dey Fitness and Figure Championships.  It was a joy to see all the NPC Steel World Athletes on hand competing in the show- Stephanie Larkin, Victoria Hamm, Rusty Disher, Michael Bailey, Ron Maseth, and Jamie Montgomery .  

Mike Horn, IFBB pro, was the main Guest Poser, we had a booth set up.  He was asked for more autographed photos than other people I have seen at other shows.  He had friends come from all over just to see him.  Stoney came all the way from Nashville, TN down to Panama City Beach, FL. He brought gifts too, thanks.  Jason came in from N. Alabama. I would like to thank everyone who stopped by the booth. I was asked for some autographs too .   Thank you for your support.  Thank you Robert Calin, who is training for Masters Nationals,  for all your help.  It was good to see Jimmy Babb too.  Thank you Cole, Teja, & Reno Schmitt and family and crew (Suzy).  When it came time to for Mike Horn, IFBB pro,  to Guest Pose at the end.  Mike had the audience on their feet jumping up and down screaming. Mike was in great shape.  He came in ripped and took this guest posing serious.  We made sure to leave a clean room at the host hotel.  Anyone else interested in hiring him for making guest appearances at other NPC shows may contact him at mikejanhorn.com.

Mike did an interview with the TV news at check-ins and invited everyone out with their families to watch.

Judges- Mike was on a great judging panel. Pete Fancher was the head judge at the show. We always enjoy seeing him. Thank you other judges, Mike & Christy Mckinnley and Vic of Gold’s for letting me work out at your place since it was just around the corner from the host hotel/resort at Sterling Reef.  

Booths-Mr. and Mrs. Stacy Seals had a booth for Stone Wear clothing. I really like their shirts.  I look forward to seeing them set up at the NPC Steel World on May 31 in Mobile.  Shannon Dey had a booth with her super cute clothing and accessories.  I had to get some of her great fitting pants and unique tanks.  She is a kind person, always smiling, always has good things to say to people.  

Trainers- Team Bomb shell and Mike Davies had girls in the show that were in good shape.  Greg had some top level girls in the show too like Stephanie Larkin.  Linda Campbell of Columbus, GA had quality athletes like Michael Bailey, Jamie Montgomery and beginner figure,  Brooke Teaster.  

Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Key of Health Works Gym in Panama City did the best job ever of running the show backstage.  Things ran really smoothly.  You can tell they really care.  

I was a little sad to  not be the reigning NPC Shannon Dey Figure Overall Champion anymore.

Muscle Papa was there to video to whole production from start at check-ins, then backstage, and to the finish.  

Pat & Donna Sporer and Shannon Dey had a quality show once again.

We look forward to seeing everyone on May 31 in Mobile for the NPC Steel World Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships www.npcsteelworld.com 251-634-8885 for Personal Training & Nutrition Competition Workshops
