Lifetime natural bodybuilder David Higuera has only competed once, at the ’06 Musclemania® World in Hollywood. Now, the 5’8″, 187 lbs., 27 year old culinary student says he’s once again training for MM World. “I have been boxing for the past 6-7 years,” David explains. “But, I am back in the gym and hitting it harder than ever. I have been at it for a year now and want to be about 200 lbs. on stage in Las Vegas. I am eating clean, taking a bunch of supplements and and training everyday. All that boxing has really helped me with my conditioning, so its been more of a lifestyle for me this time than a just disciplined competition training. I am really enjoying it.” David will compete at MM Latino in October and then on to Las Vegas.

David Higuera has been on stage only once in his life, when he was just 18 years old at the ’06 Musclemania® World in Hollywood. Now the Mexican culinary student is back into heavy training and setting his sights on competing this fall. “After the show, I got into boxing and was doing a lot of fighting,” David says. “But, the bug is back and am training twice a day, eating clean and cardio.” At 5’7″, 185 lbs., he has incredible thickness and symmetry and will be a threat on any natural stage.

Like Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man sketch, ’10 Model Britain Champion Mehmet Edip displays a static structure but dynamic in its presentation of a moving, living man. The photo by famed fitness cameraman Robert Reiff was shot in his Venice, California, studio and published in Box Magazine this month. The London based Mehmet is currently working the Hollywood media scene and will soon appear in some new advertisements, marketing campaigns and a couple of commercials.
