Like Kai Greene at the 2011 Olympia, the Rx Member of the Month is back and dialed in! This month Rx would like to recognize NPC women’s bodybuilder and future Women’s Physique athlete Jodie Bruce! A classy addition to the board, Jodie owns a set of glutes that would make J-Lo weep, but striated glute’s are not the only attribute this sensual Texan is blessed with.
Life Rebuilt: From Disaster to Dedication
"You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." ~Walt Disney
Adversity is defined as "a state or instance of continued difficulty". Given this truth, there's no doubt in my mind that Byron Hicks has overcome more than his fair share of adversity on his road to the bodybuilding dias. Many will say he's "rebuilt" his life since the horrible accident he endured in May of 2002 on a 15 minute trip. Many of his friends, family and clients call him an inspiration and describe him as a fantastic friend and a great guy with supreme core values and a strong heart and soul. Byron Hicks rebuilt his life from not knowing if he would ever walk again to a national-level bodybuilder.
The Road of Life Holds Infinite Possibilities
Growing up is never easy. You hold onto the past; you wonder about the future. In fact, some of us never mature; or we try to rebel against it. Sometimes it's comforting to know that the universe is ever-expanding and so are our dreams. In the case of Cody Lewis, he's living his focused dreams every day of his life. At 20 years old, he just won his first Mens Open Overall title at the NPC Contra Costa Bodybuilding Championships on May 7th.
German IFBB Pro Dan Hill is one of the youngest pros competing today. He's also one of the most active athletes on the self-promotion bandwagon. Very few people work harder than Big Dan Hill. Continue reading to find out how Dan got into bodybuilding, why he moved to the United States, and what his future goals are.
As the competition season creeps out from the shadows of its winter hibernation it seems like an appropriate time to look at some of the athletes who are about to make a major impact on the 2011 contest circuit. Kicking off this series, we’ll be featuring up-and-comer Juan “Diesel” Morel. Juan has been working under the guidance of our very own Dave Palumbo for many years and his physique has evolved from well-formed and ripped to downright freaky. Last year saw him finishing in the runner-up spot at both the IFBB North America (behind Lee Banks) and NPC Nationals (behind Fred Smalls). Many people in attendance thought he should have gotten the winning nod, but let’s not get all solemn here. That was last year; 2011 is a whole new ballgame. Juan is hungrier than ever and he insists that this year his physique will be exactly what the judges are asking for.
That being said…let’s take a closer look at Juan the Man, his discipline, his diet, and how he gets those chiseled pecs!
