We've been excited all year long to have a pro men's bodybuilding show in the sunny state of Florida! But we have even more reason to celebrate now that the 2008 IFBB Tampa Pro Show lineup is close to being finalized. It looks like we'll finally have a very strong and interesting field of competitors on stage. This is something we haven't had since the Arnold Classic early this year. It will clearly make up for the weak lineups we've seen in New York and Houston.

The contest brings major excitement for us with the debut of two IFBB pro newcomers. James "Flex" Lewis from England and Clarence DeVis won their pro cards within hours of each other last October. We've been impressed with Flex Lewis in his amateur competitions and we were able to celebrate Clarence DeVis' victory with him at the 2007 Belgium Nationals where he earned his pro card.
