Welcome to our site.  We cover issues of interest to bodybuilders and fans of bodybuilding.  We emphasize competitive issues, reviewing documentary films of contests, posing exhibitions, and training.  Some contests are also covered, with emphasis on Masters-level competition.  Printed material about bodybuilding, including books, is covered.  Gerry Triano's posing tips are featured.  Don't forget our links -- we keep them current.  All material is by Mike Emery except as noted.
