Signings
• Big Nasty signs with BSN. I don't have the details and many at the show were denying it to be true - Ron reported it first here on getbig. Mr. O himself could be seen sporting the BSN goods at the Expo. Congrats to BSN for bringing the big dawg on board.


• Ali Metkovich a national level figure competitor, from Nevada, has officially signed with Ultimate Nutrition. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed however I do know Ali is being paid and it's not a contract where it is merely trade for product. It is great to see an amateur level competitor sign with a company. Props to Ultimate for stepping up and paying some dough to bring Ali on board.


• Amateur Figure figure competitor Heather Craven (on the right) signed with GNC. Look for Heather to be in the top ranks of the National Figure shows this year. She is working with Chris Eaddy of Florida, on her contest prep.

CONTEST PREP
One of the newest IFBB Figure Pros, Marcy Porter is making her pro debut this weekend at the San Fran Pro. Marcy reports...

I am very excited about making my pro debut at the San Francisco. I had a very healthy, productive off season and look forward to stepping on stage again. I have worked very hard to make improvements and present my most polished physique ever!

Good luck Marcy!
