Trey Brewer has a date with 4th place.
Trey will makae an impact and bring some of the best wheels.
I am anxious to see if he can pull his massive physique into a winning package however.
If he does he will have a lot of us locals pulling for him.

Ron and I disagree on which is a better show, the NPC nationals or Olympia.
I prefer seeing all the male/female wt classes going at it side by side while Ron seems to like the pro format more.To me that is more like real bodybuilding, but I digress.
I love seeing the comparisons of the figure as well.

I really relate to the NPC format a lot more, but we both agree that a good show is cool.
See ya there, Howard

Post by: Howard on October 27, 2008, 02:34:00 PM: Obviously you line in the metro ATL area? I am a few miles NW of the downtown.
Pm me if you want. Should be a great show! The last time the nationals was here local female bodybuilder Mimi Jabalee won the overall. That was cool to see her get her pro card that night. Howard

I will probably go since its in Atlanta. Is this right in the middle of downtown?
Yup, the Hyatt regency is right smack dab in the middle of ATL.
Easy to get to on the MARTA tram. Anyone who comes from out of town should head over and see the Ga Aquarium which is close. They have whale sharks!
