Live From the FAME Lone Star Championships!

Hey Everyone,
I'm here in Houston reporting live from the FAME Lone Star Championships!

It's been an exciting day at the Omni Hotel in Houston as the amazing athletes competing at the FAME Lonestar championships arrived for athlete registration.

Athlete registration started early this morning as the competitors came down to the Texas Ballroom to complete the finals steps before taking the stage.

Next came the Physique Screening panel as part of the drug screening process to ensure that the athletes who take the FAME stage display natural physiques.

Up next came the NSpiration camp with FAME Pros Jason Powell and Kai where they helped the competitors fine tune their presentation skills before taking the stage tomorrow.

Here are some pictures from activities earlier today!

Hey everyone, I'm back from Pre Judging at the FAME Lone Star Championships and what a competition!

Both the Novice and Open Bodybuilding Divisions are packed full of great competitors! The judges will really have their hands full selecting the best of the best from the great group of physiques posing down on the FAME stage!

The Female Figure, Swimsuit Model and Fitness Model Cagtegories are also really deep with great competitors and too close to call! The Men in the Fitness and Muscle Model catagories are dialed in and looking great as well! Top to bottom, the level of competition is great in every division.

The excitement continues with the VIP Party and athlete meet and greet at 5:00 PM this evening, with the Finals starting at 6:00 PM

Here are some pics from the Pre-Judging!

You all looked amazing! For the longest show I've ever been in, meeting you all was worth it. I really wanted to see the cheerleaders and the stomp people. :( Maybe next time!
