Winston Tsai - Lansing's Top Physique Star
by Christian Duque
*Winston did not compete in the NPC Lansing Grand Prix, but his 2nd place at a regional
qualifier makes him the most decorated champion in the Lansing/East Lansing area
I wouldn't invest much stock in the Mr. Lansing title - sorry.
Bulking is as bodybuilding as apple is American, but very few folks know how to put on good
weight - without ballooning out of control (I'm a casualty of this often failed approach to what
some call 'the off season'). But one athlete that seems keen on how to safely and responsibly
gain weight - is top level NPC Physique Star Winston Tsai. A student at Michigan State
University and a regular Powerhouse Gym - East Lansing, Tsai has put on some quality weight
since his last competition.

Gena DiMaggio on Competitive Life & Her Role with IronMagLabs
Fullt Interview Coming Soon / FigureBikini.com & StrengthAddicts
"I have competed, 2000 BB, figure in 2004 & 2005. I do not plan on competing again. I have a
very block y waist and I feel it hinders my success. I do have 3 1st place trophies, but it is
because I stood out. I was told, based on my muscle, i should stick with BB, but I have stage
fright and the routine freaks me out. Also, I was never a part of a team, so back stage I felt
alone. I had Rob, but the internet wasn't what it is today, so we lacked female competition
knowledge. Funny, my 1st and only BB show, I cut the strings on my top and tied it into a bow. I
couldn't figure out how the other girls got theirs in an X across their backs. I now know.
Gosh, do you really want to know all I do for IML? Where to start? I do all the accounting, order
packing, inventory and adjustments, taxes, hauling heavy inventory boxes up and down the
stairs. I did do a ton of customer service, via phone, but we have removed the business line
from the sites because it consumed a ton of time. I do all the office purchasing, schedule
business appointment, help rob approve labels and banners ads. I run all bank deposits,
collect funds when necessary, send things to collections when necessary. I handle X`mas gift
for all our retailers, mods and reps. That can range from a card to a gift card to a gift basket
depending on PO's. If my day allows, I will prepare Robs lunch, we have been super busy, so
lately he is on his own. Sorry baby I keep on top of our sponsored athletes and make sure they
get what is promised each month. On top of that, I have OCD, so I am consistently cleaning our
work environment. I really don't have a title aside from owner, but I'd say my title is doing all the
shit Rob doesn't want or have time to do."

It's Dangerous & It's Legal
by Christian Duque
It'll get you bigger than steroids, it's injectible (only), and it's legal. More and more
bodybuilders are using it. But unlike anabolic steroids, it's legal, it's cheap, it's readily
accessible, and it can be deadly! What are we talking about, and why is it legal? The
substance is Insulin, and it's legal because millions of diabetics need it to live.
For the next issue of StrengthAddicts, I'll be going to industry insiders, seaonsed
contest veterans, and medically-trained experts, who will clue us in to the prevalence of
use and the health risks involved with use and abuse of this powerful hormone. I
personally wouldn't touch the stuff with a ten foot pole, but let's see how the article
shapes up. You don't ever want to miss an issue of StrengthAddicts!

Billy Georgiou: Should He Have Won?
by Christian Duque (NPC Jr. USA's)
by Christian Duque (NPC Jr. USA's)
In order to understand placings, you really need to be at the show, but given the
advances of technology and the absolutely wonderful coverage provided by RxMuscle.com,
us fans are able to see a great amount of detail - moreso than sitting at the venue
anywhere from 10 to 30 rows back [or more! There's nosebleed seats in bodybuilding too!]).
Billy Georgioiu won the the Heavyweight Class at this past weekend's NPC Junior USA's.
The overall win went to Super Heavyweight Champion Dan Newmire, who seems to have
brought a massive physique; however, it looks to me that Georgiou had a denser back,
better legs, and came in drier. I especially liked Billy's side chest pose.
Other notables that I'd like to give honorable mention to from the photos I've seen, include
Adam Lane, who won the Light Heavyweight Class. I wasn't very impressed with the Super
Heavies and I was pretty surprised to see the Bantamweight Class only had one
competitor - which for a show like the Junior USA's is a bit odd.

FigureBikini.com Cracks 800+ "Likes"

I started this page because I wanted to cover all
women's divisions on one site. I have always been
impressed by the Blogger layout, and I figured I could
put together a nice page that would feature interviews,
reviews, features, and articles. The site has
developed a loyal international following that's
comprised of several age-groups and enjoys
repeat-visits daily!
Currently, the Facebook Fanpage has over 800
"likes," but eventually we hope it will match
StrengthAddicts which has just over 10x it's reach. Our
current cover is Candace Perfect (at left); also
featured here is Taralin Gold also of Team Edge!
