Pro/Am Contests Blog

The most successful show yet. We sold out the night show.

The national anthem was sung by CMA award winner Tonya Cowart.

Special awards were given to the trainers Brad Mumphrey, Dennis Cejas, Kayley Bundine, and Jennifer Chaltain of Personal training & Nutrition in Mobile for training bodybuilding and figure athletes and weight loss transformation winners.  IFBB pro, Mike Horn’s clients won he most awards.

We paid Honor to Pat Moore former NPC judge by having a moment of silence and prayer.

Toney Freeman stunned everyone in the audience with his size and condition he came in 310lbs. and hard!  Toney had just flown in 17 hours from Kuwait and lost his luggage and then drove 7 hours to be at the show.  We really appreciate him going all out to come to our show.  We would recommend him to any promoter.

There was a guest routine done by last year’s fitness winner CiCi Kyle.  Teen Fitness champ Bailey Kimes did a fitness routine with her mom IFBB Pro Fitnesss Lorie Kimes. There was also a mind blowing sword routine by Arkar Mon’s marital arts team Shotomon Ryu. There is no way to describe it.  You truly had to see it. I have seen many marital arts demos before, this one was truly entertaining.  It left the audience on the edge of their seats. IFBB pro Rowland Huff was also on hand. So with Mike Horn being there also we had 5 IFBB pros for the audience to get to spend time with.  The Hot Spot was on hand to cater to tanning all the athletes. Our MC, Jay Hammett, of bodtvonline.com he kept the audience cheering, and laughing. There was not a dull moment. The atmosphere was energetic. A good time was had by all.  All photos are available to view at www.collages.net. User name SteelWorld08 password 7980. Mobile Press Register was on site to cover the contest.

The athletes were of great quality and many of the classes were very close. Last weekend at the NPC Vulcan Classic Angie Eagle won the overall and Amy Brown had won her class in figure. This weekend both women were back. This time Angie Eagle won her class and Amy Brown won the overall. It was very exciting. In ladies bodybuilding Suzie Carter-Hardin had very entertaining routine and had the crowd cheering.  

It was great to see some of my friends there from my son’s former playgroup to cheer on Jennifer Chaltain who has lost 65 pounds and overcome obstacles including being a type 1 diabetic to do her first figure show.  

Trophy Presenters included, Selma Reneman, former national figure athlete, Danielle Kifer, former NPC Steel World Figure athlete who went onto get 2nd at the USA last year, and Mandy Tinsley, 07 NPC Steel World overall figure winner.  

Every Competitor got a real samurai sword on a stand.  

The after party at TGI Friday’s was packed out.  Athletes were able to go to the judges tables and get feedback and hang out with Toney Freeman.
