April 23, 2010, Essen, Germany - Despite all efforts of the Volcano in Iceland, most of the IFBB superstars made it to Essen Germany in time to welcome fans from all over the world to the biggest Bodybuilding and Fitness expo in the world. The BB A-list names include: Dexter Jackson, Victor Martinez, Kai Greene, Phil Heath, Ronny Rockel, Melvin Anthony and Chris Cormier! (Chris is massive - will he step onstage soon?) Side note: Dennis Wolf could not make it to Germany in time - he is in contest prep! Also not in Essen - and an utter mystery to us - Mr. O. Jay Cutler. Stay tuned...!

August 7, 2010, Dallas, TX - Massive Quincy Taylor trained arms for our cameras in Dallas, Texas (his hometown in 2007). Quincy was a few days out of the Europa show (where he eventually placed 4th). Unfortunately the big man always trained after midnight!!!, because he did not like the humid heat that much.... so we had to meet rather late in the day for the shoots .... but: we "hardly" complained as we got amazing footage for you guys!

February 22, 2010, Phoenix, AZ - Vegas based muscle photographer Richard Rossan sent us some more pics of the 2010 season opener weekend in Phoenix AZ. Sunday after the show Tarek El Setouhi (9th) and newcomer Dan Hill (who did not place in the contest) - both from Germany - posed for Dick`s camera at the hotel pool and in the gym. Check out the pics. (He got some awesome shots....)
