“THE ART OF WAR” – PHYSIQUE PERFORMANCE ART & PRESENTATION BY ANDREW OYE

The Bloody Battle of Beautifully Built Bodies in the Posedown Showdown of Competitive Bodybuilding

After individuals develop their bodies through resistance training, what are they to do with these well-formed physiques and figures?

Some use the strength they’ve gained from their muscle-building regime to excel in sports. Others simply enjoy the health and self-esteem benefits of a fit, athletic build.

The rest go to war. The latter group dares to step on stage and do battle with other well-built individuals to determine the best of the best. They declare, “I possess a warrior’s passion for the art of building my body. Let me show you.”

They show this dedication by entering bodybuilding competitions and going toe-to-toe, bicep-to-bicep and quad-to-quad with fellow physique artists in a war of poses to present what they believe is the body of a champion.

But, what is this posedown showdown in which these muscular architects engage?  Is it a bodybuilding “contest” or a bodybuilding “show”…it is war or is it art? I say, both!

In “THE ART OF WAR” A Physique Performance Art and Presentation Series, I examine the craft of displaying living art in the sport of competitive bodybuilding.

Explore my views, insights, interviews and tips regarding the subject of posing and presentation in a multi-part series premiering in the June 2008 issue of Jeff Everson’s Planet Muscle Magazine and on bodybuilding.com.

The next time you enter the battleground that is the Muscle Stage, you’ll have the warrior’s weapons and the artist’s tools necessary to showcase a masterpiece and slaughter challengers who dare to flex in your path to the crown.

“THE OYE BODY SURVEY” SHOWCASES THE FITTEST & BEST-BUILT BODYBUILDERS, FITNESS MODELS & GYM RATS

Inspired by the “The Pivot Questionnaire” used on the television program “Inside the Actor’s Studio,” I decided to go “Inside the Body Studio” and create “The Oye Body Survey” – a fun survey of 10 big questions for the fitness-minded and body-conscious.

Participants in “The Oye Body Survey” join an online catalog of some of the hottest, fittest and best-built bodies in the bodybuilding, fitness and sports industries featured on the fastest-growing, social-networking site for fitness enthusiasts: www.myfittribe.com Survey participants will also have the opportunity to appear in fitness training or interview videos featured on MyFitTribe-TV.

Are you a bodybuilder, figure competitor, fitness model, athlete, fitness enthusiast or just a gym rat with an inspirational physique? Prove it. Take “The Oye Body Survey” and show the world what you’ve got!

I need all types: beautiful beach-babes, gorgeous hardbodies, clean-cut-and-chiseled cover model types, tatted-up bad-boys and diesel bodybuilders. I want to showcase “the best of the best” of our diverse Fit Nation.

My only requirement: Abs are a must! Again, this will be an ongoing series; so, if you’re not physically ready at the moment, I’ll profile you when you are.

Interested? Send your myspace and/or website link to thefitwriter@gmail.com with the subject: Physique Profile.

If selected to participate, the rest is simple:

1.) Answer 10 Fun Questions
2.) Submit 3 Hot Photos
3.) Showcase 1 Smokin’ Body

Then you can check out www.myfittribe.com to see how your responses to “The Oye Body Survey” compare to those of your fellow “hot bodies.”
