I just wanted to say the article in Ironman was nice. It is good to see solid exposure like that. Congrats my friend. Anyone else see this?

Thanks man, haven't seen it myself yet. Been wondering when it was coming out. Hope it came across well...I always cringe because you never know what pics they will use or how exactly your responses will be worded.

How are things going PP? You going to the Junior USA? I have a buddy competing, might try to make it down.

I know what you are talking about. Ever heard of Muscle Maniak? I have an interview in the current issue. I am very happy with it. They didn't edit a thing I said. It's weird to read back over things you said as if you are an outsider looking in. I think you'll be pleased with your article. I am happy for ya'!

I should be at the Junior Nationals. I will be more worried about the travel as I will be getting closer to the USA's.

BTW... I am seeing your wife's ad everywhere.

Peter where did you find the magazine at?

Funny isn't it.... Cosmo, Star, Oxygen, Fitness, she never expected nor aspired really to get that much. Her commercial should be airing soon. Pretty cool!

Muscle Maniak huh? I will have to check the local Barnes and Noble. I would like to see it. Keep us posted on your prep. What are you like 14 weeks out or so?

This ain't about me... it's about Zona. It is a UK based magazine that has started being published stateside. I believe there goal is to slowly introduce it into new markets here. It is like a Planet Muscle. You can't find it at Barnes and Nobles or Books A Million yet as far as I know. The only place I know that has it is Hastings Book Store, www.gohastings.com. Search for a store in your state and find the city. That is your best bet. Thanks for your interest. This thread is about the best amatuer on this board... Zona!

 

[SZona]

well...

This thread is about the best amatuer on this board... Zona!

"Most unsuccessful attempts at a pro card" might be a more accurate description. I think I might be approaching some sort of record Seriously though, there are some much more gifted guys than I on this board, yourself being one of them.

Saw the article and while I am happy with the interview I am a bit dissapointed that some things were cut out. In particular some words I had to say about my late mother and brother and also a segment where I thanked and acknowledged specific people who have influenced and helped me in not only my bodybuilding journey, but also life. These things were very important to me... but for some reason edited out.

Also the contest stage pics were terrible. I gave them specific contest shots taken by Bill Comstock of Ironman from this years Nationals, but they didn't use them in favor of those "Ethiopian looking not even in a pose yet selections". Weird and dissappointing!

But anyway, Dave Young (the writer) was great and I doubt he is responsible for these unforgivable errors

Damn you don't have your Pro's card yet? SZona you will get it is just a matter of time.

It's the June 2006 Issue of Ironman. It's called "In the Zona".

I noticed nothing was mentioned about what happen with your mother prior to the USA's. I was surprised about that. BTW... the pics looked great! Don't be so hard on yourself.

Thanks Bro! What are your competitive plans for 2006? You will definitely be a front runner no matter what show you do. All my best!

Hey I'll be at Jr.s this weekend working at the ISS booth. If you go stop by and say hi.

No Plans solidifed at this point. I will be making the trip to the Jr. USA so I will be sure to say hello. Am driving though so will likely be dead on my feet.

I checked the Ironman that was at my grocery store for your article SZona, who is on the cover, I am sure they don't have it yet, that is what I get living in the middle of nowhere in the midwest...
I'll keep checking and congrats to you, your time is coming buddy!!

Didn't realize who you were until the trophy presentation. You are a House bro! Hard to believe you were a Light Heavy just a few months back. Look out Heavyweights!

[JasonWojo]

LOL thanks man. Pete said you were around but I couldn't find you.

I'm not sure if I'll be a HW this year but if I am, make sure you let me know what show(s) you're doing so I can avoid getting my ass kicked!

 

[pumpputnam]

I thought I pointed Jason out to you Zona. I said he was the guy who won the light-heavies at the Junior USA's last year. Jason is a nice guy! He better be packing for the Heavies! He'll do it!
