Pro GP shows after the 2007 Mr. O. - Any information?

[Steve Namat]

Does anybody know actual informations about the GP shows after the Mr. O? Becuse I want to compete at some of them...

A few weeks ago I heard that maybe there will be 4 shows: Russian, Michigan, Germany, Dutch...

And the German was cancelled...?

Any info about the other shows?

[timfogarty]

Russia is the only one currently on the schedule at http://www.ifbbprofessionalleague.com


perhaps you should do the PDI's British NOC October 14, or France October 27 or Denmark October 28.

But why in hell would anyone steer him into the PDI?

But why in hell would anyone steer him into the PDI?

because the IFBB Pro League has no real presence in Europe ?

Thanks tim! 
Yes I saw the IFBB Pro contest calendar before...and there was the Michigan Pro (October 13)...but 2 weeks ago it disappeared...

The only show will be the Russian GP?! No contest in the States? I really wanted to do an american contest because I'll be in California from September to working out and get as much publicity as I can.

About the PDI... I don't care about the PDI. The IFBB Pro League is my dream since I was a child...

one fact of life is that nothing ever stays the same.  the IFBB has not always been the predominate org in bodybuilding, and there is no guarantee that it will remain so now that Ben and Joe have retired.

the first IFBB contest was in 1948, but they didn't consistantly have contests until 1959, and their contests didn't gain respectibility until 1964 or so.

the Keystone Pro and Colorado Pro athletes performed to empty auditoriums.   if it wasn't for the supplement companies, these contests would quickly disappear.   But if the supplement companies are going to bankroll these contests, there is no need for a central organization.   What service does Manion and the IFBB provide?   Manion is now 62.  what happens when he retires?

It's true Tim...

Why I choose the IFBB? The reasons are:

-I want to compete against the best bodybuilders of the world
-My main goal to compete at the Mr. Olympia one day...

-I want to compete against the best bodybuilders of the world

then you should enter the IFBB Worlds

-My main goal to compete at the Mr. Olympia one day...

not to worry.  with around 25 qualifying this year, and with fewer and fewer contests throughout the year, pretty soon it will be an open competition.

[Steve Namat]

then you should enter the IFBB Worlds

The Worlds...'shredded to the bones' condition this is what Wolds all about. Very few really good physique. Just shredded and unbalanced (out of proportions) athletes. I never wanted to look like that.

Sometimes a few really good physiques like Dennis Wolf in 2005.
