Many thanks Messiah and MO. Cant wait :)
Big thanks to MO and Tony for organizing all this for us SM members. They really are top blokes :)
Shows getting close now. Can't wait!
Train how you plan to race.
Great news, I just got off the phone with Ivan Sadek, he is 100% in the show. He is rapt the way that he has come in the last 4 weeks and is ready to rock. Ivan only just missed out on qualifying for Mr Olympia last year in his first ever pro show. So lets get behind Aussie Ivan. I am so happy to have him in the show and cant thank him enough for supporting my show and Australian Pro Bodybuilding.
Absolutely fkn awesome!
We needed a true Aussie to cheer and go nuts for as he walks out!
Top 5 for Ivan and a qualification to the Olympia with some of the possible top 3's already with a qualification!!

Thats awesome news. really looking forward to seeing him up on stage again. Well done Tony.
I would like to announce that we have added a best posing award. This award is sponsored by Contest Color to celebrate their 25th anniversary in business. Phil Kabakoff and a few Aussie mates have put up $2500 plus a nice trophy. We have Kai, Melvin and Dexter and Rusty in the show, plus there might be some surprises with $ at stake. Lets get it on.
Getting better and better by the second.
Shame we can't wear our SM shirts for advertisment...
nobody's stopping you...
Bad news from my mate Dave at Max's Muscle.
"Yes, I am sorry to report that Lionel will NOT be competing at the Australian Pro. He was all set to go, had signed his contract, bought his plane ticket and was excited to go and compete as a Pro for the second time.
Unfortunately, yesterday, Tuesday, March 2nd, Lionel's stomach was bothering him quite a bit so not taking any chances, he went to the hospital to get checked and it was a good thing he did because he was asked to stay for a few days for observation.
I did speak to Lionel today as he called me from the hospital and he is doing fine now but he will stay a couple more days under observation just to be sure. Unfortunately, he will have to pass on the Australian Pro and wait until New York to compete again.
For now he will go back to France to spend some time with his loved ones but
he will be back soon, better and improved.
Stay tuned as more news on Lionel will come right here, on MD."
