Hey Jen, good luck with the prep - I'm sure you'll do great this year - can't wait!

That's Olga Guryev, she's definitely got a nice X frame!

Jen had a great routine - pretty hilarious take on Britney Spears who did VMAs in Vegas - here's one shot:

We've posted all our shots from the contest now (http://tour.ftvideo.com/showgal.php?g=content/genex/contests/2007/northamericans/4805/7_1&s=6).

Here's a shot with A Class winner Brandi Binkley:

Good preview Isaac - see ya in Big D!

I like Brian's stuff more for his style that's very consistent.  I also have a preference for more industrial backgrounds that contrast with the physiques in some ways and also complement them (and I do shoot more bodybuilders so it sometimes fits a bit better with them).

Julie's looking good as always - see you all at the Europa?!

Great shots Isaac, Desha you look fantastic!

Yeah it was definitely a lot of calls in the show that had people in the crowd fired up.  The heavyweights was a tough class as was the LHWs.  Hans wrote up the bodybuilding part of the contest report and noted a lot of the crowd reactions:

This is a great thread, I'll have to post a few pix to add to it later!

Yeah you all both have that small --> BIG thing going in a very good way

I'm really interested to see how Oksana looks and is judged at this show.  Mindi made her pro debut here and won so perhaps she'll get a fair look!

Marlene Wolverton at Masters Nationals:

Wow thanks for the kind words folks.  Here's a few recent pix I liked:

Galina Serdtsev at USAs:

Desha congrats on turning pro.  Sorry I was a little zonked on Sunday morning when I saw ya - lack of sleep!

We just posted our report, photos, scoresheets etc on Monday too:

Thanks for those tips - I was looking at that too and saw that the hotel was in another city entirely so was wondering how close/far it was from the venue...

It will be great to see Oksana compete.  For those of you who haven't seen her she was the 2006 World Fitness Champion and she's got really artistic routines.   Her physique is tight too.  Hopefully the judges will give her a solid look.

Good luck Jodi, I think you've got a great shot at the LW class!

Zhanna was a bit too lean I think from the way the judges placed her.

Yeah another great Arnold in the books.  The Expo was a bit ridiculously crowded though - they gotta expand that place!

I am totally looking forward to the Sac.  A great opportunity for some women to qualify for the O early and take time to prep for it later in the year.

I think Cathy should do well and Heather's pro debut is something to look forward to for sure.

See you all there!
