NLABBA Competitor Information Seminar - this Sunday, October 4th
Attention: Registered 2009 NLABBA Provincial Competitors, Potential Competitors, and NLABBA Members
The NLABBA is hosting a FREE "Competitor Information Seminar" this coming Sunday, October 4. The seminar will begin at 11:00 a.m. sharp to 1:00 p.m. at Memorial University St. John's Campus, Phys Ed Building in Room 2022 (PE-2022). The room holds a maximum of 30 seats, please RSVP at your earliest convenience to confirm your attendance and reserve a seat.
The purpose of this seminar is to provide both new and experienced competitors with the "must know" information and knowledge that will help you to confidently step on stage prepared, and will help you to present your best stage physique on competition day.
You already have your base - you've been training hard putting endless hours in the gym, eating clean and tweaking your routine and diet as necessary, but do you really know what the judges are looking for when you step on stage?? You'll get the low-down from some of the most experienced, knowledgeable and respected people in the Newfoundland & Labrador Bodybuilding & Figure community. As an experienced competitor, maybe this is opportunity to learn something new, ask questions and refine your contest preparation.
Speakers include:
Lee Hayward: Men's Bodybuilding http://www.nlabba.com/cp_lee_hayward.html
Patricia (Trish) Crocker: Women's Bodybuilding http://www.nlabba.com/cp_patricia_crocker.html
Courtney Rowsell: Ladies Figure http://www.thefitchic.ca
Dave Scott: NLABBA Provincial Judge Dave will speak about what the judges are looking for in competitors on stage.
Some of the key topics that will be presented include:
- What the Contest Judges are looking for
- How a bodybuilding competition is judged
- A high level overview of the mandatory poses
- What to do 6 Weeks out, 1 Week out, and the day before the competition
- The best methods to rid of body hair
- The importance of your posting routine
- Choosing your posing trunks/suits, tanning, posing oil, shoes/jewelry/make-up (Ladies Figure)
- The weigh-in before the competition how to make your weight class
- ...and more!
With just over 7 weeks remaining before the Provincial competition, you do not want to miss out on this free seminar.
Sunday, October 4
11:00 am sharp to 1:00 pm
Memorial University St. John's Campus, Phys Ed Building Room 2022 (PE-2022)
Bring a note pad and pen!
The room holds a maximum of 30 seats, please RSVP to nlabba.exec@gmail.com at your earliest convenience to confirm your attendance and reserve a seat.

Damien Smith
It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of a stand up member of our community, Damien Smith. Damien passed away suddenly on his beloved motorcycle on Monday, September 7, 2009 at the age of 29. Damien competed as a novice in the 2005 Heavyweights Classic placing 4th in the Men's Middleweight Bodybuilding Division. Damien loved the sport and was a huge supporter of the events over the years. Damien's love for life, larger than life personality and presence will certainly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his fiancée, Amy, their dog Izzy, their parents, family and friends. Donations in Damien's memory may be made to the SPCA.
The NLABBA will commemorate the memory of Damien at the upcoming Provincial Competition on Saturday, November 21, and will present an award in Damien's honor.
