Musclemania® America Champion Aristide Pessinguia is training for his MM Pro debut at the Universe in June. “I am just training for size because getting lean is easy for me,” he claims. The 5’10”, 225 lbs., Aristide is not to be overlooked as he always seems to come into shows as a sleeper and underdog and cleans up. He won both MM New Mexico and MM America both as an unknown.
He’s been competing since he was 17 years old, but Jesus Villanueva plans to come into his own next season. The 5’11″, 190 lbs., 20 year old student has consistently added size and conditioned his muscle. “I’ve been eating a lot more disciplined and it shows,” Jesus says. “Supplements are expensive here in Mexico, so I focus more on eating right and it works.” Jesus will be in stage at Musclemania® Mexico in May
Former Musclemania® Mexico Teenage Champion Jose Luis Montes says he’s training for next season. The 5’11″, 210 lbs., 21 year old has grown nearly 20 lbs. over the past couple of years and says he’s taken to lean bulk dieting. “I’ve been trying and its working great,” Jose Luis professes. “Here in Mexico, this kind of routine is new and most of the natural bodybuilders are beginning to try it, too.” Jose Luis has great thickness, especially for his age, so the new diet will help to transform the physique and get ready to win on the Junior stage.
Emmanuel Plata was a Top 3 Finalist at Musclemania® Mexico Junior Championships in May. The 5’8″, 182 lbs., 22 year old is studying nutrition at the University Autonoma in Mexico City and says he applies the studies to his training. Emmanuel has been lifting for 3 years and is taking off the rest of the season to return to MM Mexico next year.
Ivan Estrada and his wife had their concept of a lounge chair at the beach this weekend! The 5’10″, 195 lbs., Jalisco, Mexico gym owner is an avid natural bodybuilder who has his whole family training and living the fitness lifestyle. “I’ve been lifting since I was a kid,” Ivan says. “So, its only right that my wife kids should be at it, too.” Ivan will soon compete at Musclemania® Latino.
Musclemania® Mexico Junior Champion Patricio Diaz was seen as the underdog when he showed up for the show last weekend. The 5’2″, 135 lbs., 18 year old student was competing for the first time. But Patricio’s fervor and tenacity conquered the bigger and older guys. “I was so surprised when they announced my name!, he says. “I trained so hard for this show because it is the only natural one. I don’t want to use drugs and MM let’s me shine. I got started training two years ago and am so happy today.” Patricio says he’s training now for MM Latino in October in Mexico City.
