I will be leaving shortly for Germany for my 10TH  year of shooting FIBO. It is also a very special year for the FIBO event, being its 25th anniversary. It will be held in Essen from April 22nd through 25th.

If any of you will be attending please come and meet me at the SVH video booth where you can pick up copies of our DVDs and videos along with many others as well such as the new Mr Olympia DVD etc.

This year the main stage in Hall 7 will be completely different with many new innovations. Huge video screens will provide a perfect view of the action to the huge crowd that will no doubt pack this area. It is usually standing room only when the Weider show hits the stage!

The entertainment will not only be some of the best bodybuilders in the world performing, both professional and amateurs, but also fitness athletes and models, martial arts and power lifting.

As we go to press the Weider team will include Günter Schlierkamp, Ernie Taylor, Richard Jones and Chris Cook.  Others stars such as Shawn Ray, Vince Taylor, Heiko Kallbach, Paco Bautista, Mario Rieger etc are also sure to appear. Plus many more such as all the AllStars athletes too numerous to mention.

We will produce our usual separate DVDs of both men and women and you can be sure there will be lots of workout segments in close-up to rest your eyes from all the bulging muscle action on stage!

After FIBO it is on to Heidelberg to shoot the WFF Universe event. This looks like being one of the biggest and best ever WFF shows with at least 5 athletes from Australia competing and defending their titles. I expect there will be at least 300+ athletes from Europe competing, making this one hell of an event.

On my return we will be working on a set of 3 DVDs called The Best Men of FIBO based on the best men we have seen over the last 25 years of FIBO, as we have the complete archive.

Now to work on my report from the recent trip to USA.

Keep pumping,

Wayne
