Inspiration @ Canadian Classic

I had the pleasure of attending the 2005 Canadian Classic in Toronto (Canada) yesterday and I must say I was very impressed by the physiques I saw. I can see why Natural Bodybuilding is making some inroads into the traditional bodybuilding community. It was my first time attending such an event and I must say its far better in person then on TV.

I talked to one of the competitors after the show and he told me it was his first show, he laughed when I asked him his pre-contest weight (weight bodybuilders are during regular training before dieting for a show). You see, 3 years earlier - he was 270lbs, overweight and out of shape- he showed up on stage at a very muscular 200lbs. This goes to show you, you are never too “out of shape” to get “into shape”- I left the evening quite happy I had attended and will definitely be attending more of these events. I encourage everybody to attend these shows, natural or not, its quite nice to see the human body at its peak.
