IRONMAN PRO set for January with No Figure
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the IRONMAN Pro. The IRONMAN always kicks off the competitive season and will do so a bit earlier this year. The Los Angles Fit Expo and IRONMAN Pro will be held on January 24 & 25, 2009. The fit expo continues to add more booths and events to the weekend. It’s always an enjoyable show to attend and has a laid back atmosphere to it. The stage lighting is known to be the best of any bodybuilding/fitness/figure competition.
Last year the NPC Figure shared the same stage as the IFBB Pro Men. The numbers were down and the overall quality of the figure competition was lacking. There will be no figure competition this year at this event. I found it alarming last year that the promoting magazine’s female expert didn’t give mention to the figure contest before or after the event on her blog. Yes, Ruth Silverman I am giving you a jab. It’s too bad to see this portion of the weekend go away as the winner received a layout in IRONMAN magazine and walked away with spectacular photos from Michael Nevuex.
Stay tuned for more details but be sure to mark this event on your calendar to start the 2009 year.
