thanksomuch

AUSTRALIAN IFBB PRO GRAND PRIX VII
MARCH 10TH 2007
MELBOURNE
DALLAS BROOKS CENTRE

Includes:
NPFC-IFBB All States
King of the Bench Pro
IFBB Pro Grand Prix VII US$20,000
Trade show
VIP all star seminar

The format will be more exciting than ever with the best bodybuilding entertainment in Australia.

Tony is excited to have the show back in Melbourne and ecstatic to bring the IFBB Pro League to the historic Dallas Brooks Centre for the first time.

Dallas Brooks has the most incredible atmosphere of any venue that I have ever worked in.

To Tony it is the true home of bodybuilding in Melbourne. The historic hall has been earmarked for demolition to make way for apartments, this will be one of the last opportunities ever, to experience this unique atmosphere.

That's great news Luke.. Do you know if Milos is to compete too? (heard some info several months ago that he was going to compete in memory of Sonny Schmidt)

Hey BB, Tony posted this info on another board...

Confirmed athletes:
Vince Taylor
Toney Freeman
Ronnie Rockel
Mustafa Mohammed
Marcus Hayley
John Hodgson (three EFBB British titles)
Luke Wood
Neil Gardener.

Then add Sergey Shelestov, Martin Kjellstrom, Hide Yamagishi, Wong Hong, Joel Stubbs, Roc Shabbaz and maybe 3-4 others and we have a great show on our hands. I am also speaking to 2 more top guys from the Arnold. Also talking to the great Milos Sarcev, who although he hasn't said yes, he hasn't said no either. I believe he is training the house down and could be a real contender. Milos wanted to dedicate this to the memory of Sonny Schmidt, as well as spar with Vince Taylor again. On top of all this, would love to line up with his protege, Luke Wood.

Mustafa put up a bunch of pics on his site in prep for this show (they are "offseason", of course): http://www.teammustafa.com/MustafaPictures/ThumbnailView.php?iGalleryUnq=15

and a video: http://www.teammustafa.com/Images/MUSTI-Posing_Dec3_2006.wmv

Mustafa the "dark horse", he'll want to get amongst the O qualification spots, I'm sure.

Hey Porky, it was nice having dinner with ya and the rest of the team (bodybuilding buddies) the other night. I had to bring my diet food along but i had a great time eventhough i am on a strict diet. Yup, my prep is going great so far. Its only 5 more weeks and i will come in bigger, conditioned and even more symmerical than ever in Merlbourne. It would be so nice if you and a few more guys could come and cheer me , Luke and Neil in Melbourne. I am surewe all are going to have a blast after the show. Eat and party dude!!

Hiya guys!! it will be good to catch up with you Porky after so many years, was it really 2000 that we last were on stage at the worlds??
Wong, i look forward to eating the house down on the sunday after!! i hear Tony has booked out a real nice place for a big meet and eat on the day after the show. Hopefully Luke will be feeling better by then and ready to chow down with us all!!
See Y'all then!!
Oh yeah we'll even let Milos join us, I hear he isn't a big eater so he wont get in the way.
