Dear Pro Bodybuilder,
The 2009 IFBB Men?s Pro Bodybuilding season starts with the Iron Man
Pro on January 24th and I strongly encourage you to enter this storied
competition. Here are some reasons why:
Be A Part of History:
This year marks our 20th anniversary, making it the 3rd longest
running contest in the U.S., behind only the Olympia and the Arnold
Classic. And, it is your only chance to compete in Southern
California, the mecca of bodybuilding. In fact, there are no other
IFBB pro shows scheduled west of Texas in 2009.
The list of previous winners reads like a who?s who of professional
bodybuilding: Shawn Ray, JJ Marsh, Vince Taylor, Flex Wheeler, Chris
Cormier, Dexter Jackson, Jay Cutler, Gustavo Badell, Lee Priest, Toney
Freeman, and Phil Heath. Will your name be forever immortalized with
this elite group of champions?
Qualify for the Mr. Olympia:
With 5 Olympia qualifying positions up for grabs, the Iron Man Pro has
proven to be the direct route to the Mr. Olympia for many athletes
over the last 19 years. In fact, 4 of the top 5 in the recent 2008
Olympia have won the Iron Man Pro. No other IFBB Pro contest can make
that statement. The Iron Man Pro offers you the opportunity to get
qualified early.
Receive an Invitation to the Arnold Classic:
In recent years, athletes like Silvio Samuel and Moe Elmoussawi, who
didn?t win the Iron Man but were in great shape, received invitations
from Jim Lorimer and Arnold Schwarzennegger to participate in the
Arnold Classic, a true honor and an opportunity for further exposure
and a potentially lucrative payday.
Compete Under the Best Possible Conditions:
Our contest is known for having the best lighting in the sport, a
critical element that literally defines and showcases the competitors?
physiques in the most favorable way. The photographs of the contest
last forever and will be seen by future generations of bodybuilding
fans.
Receive Unparalleled Exposure:
Because of the quality of the production, all major bodybuilding
magazines and websites provide extensive pre and post contest
coverage. Bodybuilding.com webcasts the contest live to tens of
thousands of fans around the world. And of course, Iron Man always
publishes a major photo spread on the winner.
But the success of the event starts with you. The competitors are the
ones the fans come to see. So please e-mail me your decision ASAP. The
earlier I hear from you, the sooner I can include you in our pre-event
publicity.
I look forward to welcoming you to the 2009 IFBB Iron Man Pro!
