Maybe not the best picture of Brian about but it does allow me to mention that some time ago I saw one of those TV shows where in one day a yard was re-landscaped and it was Brian's yard. I wish I had seen it from the beginning because it not only offered a small look into the normal life of a bodybuilder but Brian looked great.
The 202 competitors weights at the weigh in (and Eduardo had a little difficulty making weight):
Ahmad Ahmad — 196 Jason Arntz — 201.2 Eduardo Correa — 202 Kevin English — 202 Daryl Gee — 184.6 David Henry — 198.6 Jaroslav Horvath — 194 Ricky Jackson — 195.4 Stan McQuay — 194.8 Luc Molines — 196.8 Steve Namat — 196.8 Bola Ojex — 198.8 Jose Raymond — 201.6 Roc Shabazz — 199.6 Mike Valentino — 202
After looking good at 270lbs at weigh-in for the North Americans, Todd sadly only placed 3rd in the super heavies. He is now be working with Chris Aceto to perfect his carbs, water, sodium, general nutrition, etc, so that when he steps on stage for the Nationals in Atlanta he'll be really vying for his pro card.
It's been a good year for Steve Namat, who in 2010 will the first Hungarian to step on the Olympia stage, just a few days after his 27th birthday (which is today)! Steve was runner up to Jose Raymond at the Tampa Pro and then finished 4th in Jacksonville, and is now looking to do some damage this weekend in the 202 showdown!
39 year old Slovakian Jaroslav Horvath who place second twice this year in the 202 class, at the Jacksonville Pro (behind David Henry) and then the Europa Super Show in Dallas (behind Seth Feroce) back to back weekends in August. In the video above he is just 5 days out from the Olympia 202, in the photos he is 2 weeks out. Horvath is not expected to crack the top 5 (since he's competing against the likes of Henry, Jose Raymond, Eduardo Correa and Kevin English), but if he comes in full and conditioned I think he just might!
