With the IFBB Men’s Pro season now complete, the 2009 season starts a litle earlier than normal.  For the IFBB Ironman Pro contest has been moved up next year. Instead of being two weeks before the 2009 Arnold, it is now 6 weeks before, on Saturday, January 24th, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.  That means that in order to compete in this contest, you need to start dieting now.

It also means that with the top FIVE at this contest qualifying for the 2009 Olympia, we are going to have a pretty diverse and interesting contest as to who will compete. For many of the seasoned veterans have to decide whether to peak here and also at the Arnold, or just forgo the Ironman, and assume they have an invitation for the Arnold.

Never is a better time for someone who thinks they deserve to compete at the 2009 Olympia to do his best, and snag a top five placing here.  The Ironman is one of my favorite contests of the year, as we never know who is going to be in shape and who will surprise us for the new season. This year is the 20th anniversary of the contest, and Lonnie Teper will once again be hosting the show.

Also, the Fit Expo, the largest expo in California devoted to the sports nutrition industry will be there on the same weekend. So make sure you know the date, and we will see you there.
