Reason: Because BK stays in shape but continues to progress. He is completely humble and takes the entire spectrum of bodybuilding serious. He has all the good to go wherever he so chooses in the sport.

Reason: A midwest bodybuilder that I look up to as we are both fathers and masters competitors who I hopefully will be competing with in 2010. A physiqe to look up to and strive towards.

Reason: She is the most loving, considerate, caring & giving woman that I've ever met. She is totally supportive of what I do in & outside of the gym. She helps me in more ways than I can mention briefly but bodybuilding related... she keeps me where I need to be especially with the nutrition!

Reason: One of the most consistant, knowledgable, down to earth, real people in the entire genre of bodybuilding and fitness. In addition to the insane training, strength, discipline that makes he and his clients champions. Team Norton 2010!

Reason: We share the blessing of being single fathers of daughter(s). I've watched this guy improve steadily over the past few years and the sky is the limit. He trains no nonsense, offers encouragement & inspiration to others and is a wealth of pure knowledge trial by fire style. Wishing him the best at the 2009 NPC USA!

Reason: One of the best "natural" pros ever who has made steady, consistent progress over a long time period to develop his physique. Very mature physique wise and how he handles the negative criticism. Examine the body of work over time people and then it all becomes clear. Slow-steady progress over a long time period with good health and muscle maturity equals NATURAL!
