As one of the most marketable natural bodybuilders on the competitive scene, Rico Elbaz brings to the stage an aesthetic and powerful physique. The 5'10" heavyweight has an incredible following and will once again take on the best MM Pros. Rico explains, "Well, the day is almost here. On Monday, I will start my prep for the Musclemania® Universe in Miami. It took me almost 4 years trying a different organization to realize why MM is the best in the world! And, its the best for me! I'm so exited to go back and be a part of the MM Pro Family and feeling more confident then ever to win the MM Pro Division this year!" "My conditioning, I believe, is the best i have ever been getting ready for a show. I have 10 weeks to go and my off season weight is 215 lbs. and 7.5% body fat. So the good thing is I don't need to torture myself dieting. My goal is to look my best and make improvements since my last contest in the MM Pro Division four years ago. I am feeling very good right now, probably the best to date." "I'm looking forward to go back to the MM stage in Miami where my True Fans are! I'm coming back more hungry then ever and I promise you all . . . I will not disappoint you!"

Lifetime natural Benjamin Pace is in the US Air Force and stationed at Ramstein AB in Germany. The 5'10", 24 year old military man trains with a team of other natural bodybuilders at the base gym. Ben has been intense about his training for MM Universe in Miami since the first of the year. He explains, "I was born in Germany and move and lived the rest of my life in Texas, mostly from Dallas / Forth Worth area. Right now I'm sitting at 181 lbs. but my competition weight will be about 165 lbs. Next week, I plan on starting my diet while deployed in Kandahar as an Air Evacuation Tech bringing our wounded warriors home. I am stoked about my first appearance on the Musclemania® stage in Miami. Before I come to compete, I will have finished completing my Associates Degree and some personal training certifications. My main focus during the up coming weeks is working on symmetry, my posing and not coming home empty handed." Good luck to Ben and thank you for your military service to the country! Also, the MM Armed Forces Championships will be held September 22 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA.

MM Pro Dewayne Malone just sent an update this 
afternoon. "Stopped at Golds Gym outside Dallas to stay on track for MM Universe. A long week being a full time Dad to 4 kids, a faithful husband, personal trainer to over 17 people a day for Against All Odds Fitness, promoting the MM Lone Star, starting up Unstoppable Wear Sports Apparel and running Texas Titan Supplement Shop. It takes a lot of balance and yet still being an elite MM Pro gets challenging. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I will keep you updated as I strive to win the MM Universe and be a successful father and entrepreneur."

 MM Pro Matt Liller continues his quest to the MM Universe Pro stage. The 5'10", 220 lbs. law student has been planning his MM Pro debut assault for two years. Here's Matt's latest update. He calls it, "My Biggest Competition".

"This title has several meanings, and as we approach 11 weeks out from the Universe they all begin to become more prominent in my mind.

Meaning #1: The Universe, as a show, is undoubtedly the most important competition I've ever participated in. Pretty much every childhood dream I ever had involved competing as a professional athlete, and once I found competitive bodybuilding my goal was to become a pro. That goal was achieved in 2010, and every workout and every meal since then has been with one weekend in mind: June 15-16, 2012 in Miami.

Meaning #2: The other competitors I will be onstage with. The pro lineup is shaping up to be one of the best in years, with many former champions slated to compete. As of press time Morris Mendez is in, Ulisses Jr. is in, Antwuan Smith is in, Dickens Lambert is on the fence, Jeff Beckham is in, and Griffin Datcher III is in. ALL of these guys are top-tier bodybuilders that are VERY capable of winning the show. There are also some x-factors that might be there, including Korea's Chul Soon, who can shock the world.

Meaning #3: The REAL meaning - my biggest competition is myself. It truly doesn't matter what level you're on or how many titles you have, the real measure of "winning" a bodybuilding show is making your physique better than the last time. I can say with 100% certainty that I will be MUCH better than my last contest, and that is perhaps a larger "victory" than any trophy can reflect.

But don't get it twisted, this improved physique will be making several of the guys mentioned in #2 quite angry when I take "their" spot . . ."

Natural womens star ernes Ernestine Shepard shocked the audience at '11 MM Capital in Washington D.C. The 75 year old fitness fanatic is trained by promoter Yohnnie Shambourger who has known Ernestine for years.

She explains her nutrition and training regimen is as serious as ladies half her age. "My daily diet includes 1,700 calories a day, mostly comprised of boiled egg whites, chicken, vegetables and a liquid egg white drink. I run about 80 miles per week and bench presses 150 pounds. Bicep curls are done with 15 and 20 pound dumbbells."

Married for 53 years, Ernestine says, "I am exactly where I want to be."

Slovenia lifter Ben Radic is legendary in his country's fitness community. At 5'10", 220 lbs., the 26 year old personal trainer has developed a big, thick, symmetry and athletic physique . . . but this guy has never competed! That's about to change as he begins preparing for MM Europe in Paris in October. Ben explains, "I am already watching my diet and really want to be in shape months ahead of the show. It will be my first time, so I don't want to chance anything. I want to know my body best for the contest."

OK, so he doesn't look anywhere near in contest shape, but MM Pro Dewayne Malone is just now starting his competition diet. The 5'7", 190 lbs. personal trainer won last year's MM Universe Pro LW Class and say's he's ready for all comers . . . including the HW Class. As he puts it, "There ain't nobody who's going to touch me!" More photos and news about Dewayne as he starts shaping up.

Professional dancer Erington Moore started weight lifting last year and competed at MM New England. Now, the 5'10", 185 lbs., 26 year old trainer has gained significant muscle and is preparing once again for the show. Today Erington said, "I just stopped creatine this past week. So I am starting to shred up." The Philadelphia native is trained by MM Pro George Patton.

Big Musclemania® Pro Griffin Datcher III just sent a training and nutriton update. At 6'3", he will surely bring one of the dominate physiques to MM Pro Universe Tall Class:

"I am at 268 lbs. and still GAINING!! Deep into my contest preparation for my first MM Pro show and the greatest thing is that I have gained weight after modifying my diet. Currently I am taking in about 5,000 calories per day so my days consists of eating, working and working out which pretty much puts a damper on the amount of sleep I get but it's all good because it's only temporary. Increasing my rep and set training volume has also helped to pack on at least 5 lbs. of muscle. I can't believe the difference a few changes have made in my physique. I am preparing to carry those 5 lbs. of muscle on stage with a sharp, balanced physique come June. My motto is "push it to the limit" and that's exactly what I plan on doing!

Midwest natural bodybuilder Cole Holmberg is preparing for Musclemania® Great North at the Mall of America in Minneapolis on April 21.

For his first show, Cole lost 75 lbs. which he says dramatically changing his life.

Jay narrowly lost the '11 MM Boston show but says the New England show will have a whole different outcome. "I have been so committed to this show like never before," he says. "Since last year, I gained some muscle but haven't lost any of it during the diet. I got a month before the show and may have to increase my calories because I am almost in contest shape." Jay and over 200 other amazing competitors will be broadcast LIVE at Musclemania.tv on Saturday, April 28 - Prejudging 1 PM ET, Finals 6 PM ET.

US Marine Corps Corporal Thomas Ho is training for MM New England. He says, "I am currently weighing 161 lbs. and looking to step on stage around 155, just at the top of the LW class. I am still lifting like in the off season - heavy with a rep range of around 6-10. My routine is a 5-day split with 6 days of cardio. My diet probally looks like most other bodybuilders - eggs, egg whites, oatmeal, brown rice, chicken, and fish. Its very bland but will all be worth it at the end. I am already hearing that extra large pie of pizza calling my name! But first thing is first."

Florida lifetime natural bodybuilder Reggie Miles just sent this new shot as he continues training for MM Universe in June. At 5'10", 200 lbs., he's staying in virtual competition shape never exceeding 3-4% bodyfat. It will be Reggie's very first show.

Musclemania® Pro Dickens Lambert just sent an update about his training progress:

It’s now the end of the month of March. My training is going extremely well! At this point in my training, I am contemplating whether I should compete at MM Universe in Miami or concentrate my efforts on MM Worlds in Las Vegas. Presently, my fitness training business is taking much of my time. It’s a positive problem I have to deal with. Furthermore, preparing many of my Bio3fitness athletes like MM American 5th Place HW Samuel Dixon, Short Class 1st Place Figure Macha Douard, 6th Place Medium Class Karine Pilon and 4th Place MM Isabelle Marois just to name a few, completely fills up my schedule. Their great success at the '11 Musclemania show in Las Vegas has led me to coach many more athletes for the 2012 contest season. That being said, I am now torn between wanting to compete with my fellow Musclemania® Pros and focusing on my athletes and developing my Bio3fitness company. Oddly, I have realized that my passion for excellence in the fitness and natural bodybuilding industry has created a great demand for my services which in return reduces my own time for my personal contest preparation. Regardless of this dilemma, I will attempt to do the impossible to be on stage with my MM iron brothers and continue be the example of personal excellence that has lured many natural fitness athletes from around the world to work with me. If I can’t be on the same stage as my fellow Musclemania® warriors, rest assured that my athletes will represent me and deliver an honourable fight worthy of the same excellence I always strive for and which also symbolizes the philosophy of the BIO3FITNESS health and fitness company.

Due to my 'bulking status' what I want to do is a diet that leads me to gain extra weight after dieting. In that process, I will 'play' with my foods and see what works better for me before my real preparation starts in mid-September. Here's a leg shot which are my biggest target. I think they are responding in a good way to the hardcore training, definitively a big difference from last year. It will be a whole new body I will bring this year to the stage!"

"Still training hard. Every time I look in the mirror or take a snap I seem to find that my arms are out sizing everything else. I've actually stop training arms about 4 weeks ago and allow it to be trained through the secondary exercise. Otherwise it will look grotesque. Trained shoulders today and noticed as its a pushing movement my triceps responded actively. Weight is still hovering the 220/224 lbs. region.
