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.

I have been emailing and calling Markus for months, he has not committed as yet. I agree that 04 was special with king kamali, craig titus, ruhl, cormier and dexter. What a posedown.

Last years show was up there as well, with Priest, Rockel, Taylor, Bendatto, Branch and Mustafa and more.

If everyone shows up this year, it will be our biggest and best yet.

Thanks for your comments...

Is Like Wood still in (wasn't he out sick for the Ironman)?

As far as we are aware, yes still in.. his big goal is the Arnold and its safe to say if he does the Arnold he'll do the Aussie show.
