This past weekend at Jr. Nationals in Chicago, I sat in the press pit next to George Farah and Shawn Ray. Between critiquing the competitors and helping Shawn with the play-by-play, Farrah said to me, "That Romano; he hiding behind his keyboard telling lies about me". I can only infer from this statement that he felt like John's recent article, More Carbs + Less Cardio = Fat Ass! (http://www.rxmuscle.com/articles/romanos-rage/1345-more-carbs-less-cardio-fat-ass-unless-.html). . . was referring to him and his alleged DNP protocols. George seemed none-too-happy with Mr. Romano! George is getting ready to step back onstage himself, for the IFBB Europa- Hartford show, and he was recently showcased in an MD training video
Many bodybuilding aficionados have be
en bemoaning the fact that classical posing has become a thing of the past in most modern-day bodybuilding competitions. The posing round is no longer judged in professional events and, as a result, many competitors don’t put as much time or effort into constructing a posing routine as their predecessors did in the past.
In 1985, following that 
year’s NPC Nationals competition, NPC President Jim Manion declared the winner of that show “the best Nationals winner” ever. Taking into account the caliber of the previous winners of the NPC Nationals (Lee Haney, Bob Paris and Mike Christian), this was high praise indeed.
Mention the name Phil Williams today and most bodybuilding fans will not remember this very talented and gifted bodybuilder who seemed to fade from the scene shortly after making an impact. He is truly a case of “what might have been” in the world of bodybuilding.
It happened 
way back in 1980 in the most unlikely of locations. A short, skinny kid with seemingly little potential for bodybuilding stardom emerged from his shell and proceeded to shock the physique world to its core. He made such an impact that he even caught the attention of the most powerful man in the sport, prompting a personal phone call to invite him to the Mecca of Bodybuilding and future stardom.
In stark contrast to the eagerly anti
cipated excitement that accompanied the 2013 Mr. Olympia, this year’s event has snuck up on us with little fanfare or media “buzz”. The ads for this year’s biggest event in bodybuilding have more to do with the 50th Mr. Olympia contest than the actual specific competition.
Last year, the bodybuilding world was extremely excited over the return of four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler to the Olympia line-up. After Jay’s remarkable comeback victory in 2009, many of his huge fan base were waiting to see the biggest upset in bodybuilding history as Teacher Jay would put his Student Phil back in his place. Unfortunately, the hype did not live up to reality and Cutler failed to show the mass or dominance that he displayed in 2009 as he limped into the sixth place position.
