As a NCAA Division II Basketball All-American, Dwayne Michael knows about athletic training and the discipline that goes along with it. Now the 6'3". 205 lbs., 28 year old is making forays into sports modeling and getting a lot of attention. And, now Dewayne is training with super intensity preparing for his competition debut at Musclemania® Physique & Model Lone Star next month in Texas. "I am doing everything in my power to make it in the business and mixing training, sports modeling, media and competitions is all part of it," he explains.
Musclemania® Pro @Griffin Griffith Datcher reminded us today that, “I’m still in the scene and hitting hit harder than ever.” The 6’4″, 260 lbs., Texas star continues, “I haven’t stopped my pursuit of winning an overall championship and won’t until I get it. I’m maintaining a much lower body fat percentage than ever before. I want to allow my body to get used to a lower level and then make minor changes before a show. The old days of getting heavy to get some size and then trimming it down is all a myth. You can and will gain size while staying lean all year round. At my next show I will prove it. I’ll let the fans know which show I’ll hit.”
Musclemania® Pro Dewayne J Malone (Center) is a regular sports fitness host on some of Houston’s major television stations. The husband and father of 4 brings to the viewers a sense of normalcy and relevance about bodybuilding and a healthy lifestyle including training, nutrition, rest and recreation. “Its all about a lifestyle approach,” Dewayne explains. “If fitness is part of your daily regimen, then its fun and something you look forward to.” Dewayne will be exhibiting and promoting his Against All Odds training programs at MM Universe, Space City, Paris, Texas and America this season.
Congrats to all of the winners at the Fitness Texas Champs last weekend in Ft. Worth. Over 100 of the state's best natural competitors were on stage participating at the sold-out show! Many of the finalists will now move on to compete at the Fitness America Weekend in Las Vegas next month. Complete show results and photo gallery will be posted this week.
Texas star Amin Shahry hasn't competed for two years, but the 5'6", 195 lbs. fitness instructor and powerlifter hasn't slack in his training. The lifetime natural lifter started competing at the '05 MM America when it was in Hollywood, California, and has kept getting thicker and more conditioned. He says, "I will probably compete again next year. Just got to get some things square and then I will be ready." Amin competes in powerlifting and strongman events but says he really likes the discipline it takes to be a great bodybuilder. "There's just a level of respect for these guys."
