2009 NPC USA - three men will turn pro this year
Getbig.com
For the last few years, only the top two men out of all the classes turned pro with the IFBB. This year, the NPC has added one additional slot for a person to turn pro. So instead of two, three competitors that has won their class will turn pro.
Also, the Bikini division has been added to this years show, with each of the class winners turning pro (six total). Add 2 pro cards for Women’s Bodybuilding, and 6 pro cards from Figure, and that makes a total of 17 new IFBB Pros come the end of the July.
For those of you that wish to compete or attend, the event will be held on July 24-29 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

When the toilet seats are wearing self tanner, you know your at a show!
I am curious to know what everyone thought about the results from the USA’s?? I attended to entire weekend and had a blast (thanks to bb.com)! It is such an amazing feeling to be surrounded by some of the fittest people in the world. Talk about a little kick in the @ss!
If you didn’t have a chance to go, check out the replays!
Overall, I was content with the results. Brandon Curry was my favorite to win the overall. But, Michael Liberatore was such a close second. I wasn’t sure who was going to take it and would have been happy either way.
From the entertainment standpoint, I have to give huge applause to PD Devers. What an AMAZING and entertaining routine. I wish more of the competitors would put some personality into their routine. Take some notes from him!
Women’s BB, Isabelle definitely deserved it. I thought she looked great. No complaints there.
I think the biggest upset for me was the overall figure award. Amy Lee Martin did look good, but I think she was closer to third. I thought for sure Rachel Cammon was going to take the overall. She looked like she was right in line with those at the Figure Olympia. I am glad she won her division but I still think she should have taken the whole thing. I just don’t understand where the judges were coming from putting Amy Lee first. I am not expert so does any one have any opinion on this one? I would love to hear it!
Oh AND I was so excited to see Jamie Costa take her class..cute as a button!
Almost time for the O!!!

Every year, usually during the last weekend of July, I set my calendar to go to Las Vegas, Nevada. Not for the casino action, not to see the latest musical or show, and definitely not for the 110 degree heat, but because I am there to check out one of the best amateur bodybuilding and figure competitions in the United States, the NPC USAs.
Last year, close to 400 competitors came to compete, and a few of them won and received an invitation to turn pro with the IFBB. Yes, I go to Las Vegas to see the best of the best.
2008 NPC USAs Promo 1 - Mona Liza Reyes
This year, the event will be held on Friday and Saturday, July 25-26, 2008, at the Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall on the campus of UNLV (that is the University of Nevada Las Vegas). This is the same venue that it was been at for 8 years, in 1999, I think it was held in Santa Monica, California. The address says it is at 4505 Maryland Parkway, but it is a bit tricky to find for you first timers who haven’t been to this hall, as it is down a side street. But you really can’t miss it, as it is a beautiful venue, and there is a big parking garage to the side of it, where you park your car. Most taxi cabs know of it, although I have had one or two that just didn’t get it. Oh well.
The schedule of the weekend is as follows. On Friday, at 4:30pm, the Men’s and Figure Prejudging starts. On Saturday morning at 9am, the Women’s and Figure Prejudging starts and continues. And on Saturday evening, at 6:30pm, the finals begins. The doors usually open an hour before so you can say hello to some of the vendors who will be lining up around the lobby in their booths.
2008 NPC USAs Promo 2 - Pete Ciccone
If you are competing in the event, you better know your schedule, including the times of your competitor meetings, and when to be in the contest hall. If you have not bought tickets for the contest, don’t despair, there is a box office right there next to the venue that you can get tickets.
This year, for the first time, Bodybuilding.com is going to webcast the NPC USAs finals, including interviews with many of the top competitors. Not live, but delayed, so starting a few days after the show, you will be able to see the complete physiques and more. Of course, Bodybuilding.com is also going to cover every aspect of the show, from competitor photos, to backstage photos to lobby photos. Hey, last year, we even went to the Pink Taco at the Hard Rock Hotel and took some pics, as well as some cool pictures around the pool at the host hotel, the Embassy Suites.
2008 NPC USAs Promo 3 - Pete Ciccone Full Interview
The official lists on who will be competing is coming out on Thursday, July 10th, so check back to see our official previews on who we think will place at the top. Of course, right now, the favorites to win the men’s IFBB pro card are Brandon Curry, Sean Allan, and Grigori Atoyan, but only two can win.
Last year was a blast. I had a lot of fun the entire weekend, taking pictures, talking to people, including lots of IFBB pros who come to support the show, and watching the excitement builds as you find out who come in shape to the show with a great physique, and who didn’t complete the final touches of his or her conditioning.

Watch out for Sean Allan next week as he attempts to make it three in a row at the 2008 NPC USAs. Can he hold his conditioning? From the looks of the photo he sent me, taken yesterday ,I’d say yes. I’d like to see Sean in the pro ranks as he has no problem speaking his mind and would definitely liven things up a bit. We’ll see how he fares in a couple weeks…
