NPC SOUTHERN STATES CHAMPIONSHIPS – GUEST POSERS

Since the NPC Southern States’ beginnings, Guest Posers have been an integral part of our show. We bring some of the newest and brightest stars of the IFBB Pro League to our stage to showcase the top talents of our sport. The routines are entertaining and the spectacle is eye-opening to the patrons and competitors who may not have seen a “Pro” up close and in person.

We also have a tradition where we bring our prior year’s overall champions back to the stage to showcase their progress. Once you win our show, you forever live in our Hall of Fame so it is nice to see the passing of the torch to the current year’s champion.

Check out our list below to see who you can see, meet and be entertained by this year at the NPC Southern States Championships!

2022 GUEST POSERS

Hometown: Cuba

Years Competing: Six

How did you get into competing?

I got into bodybuilding and competing because a friend of mine told me I should compete, at the moment I was training like a bodybuilder and eating like a bodybuilder but never thought about competing until I actually stared dieting and did my first show.

You competed in the Southern States! How would you describe your experience:

My Southern States experience was amazing. My first time doing Southern States I won the light heavyweight class and went back the year after and won the class again. So overall it was a great experience.

Where did you turn pro?

I turn pro at Miami Nationals in 2018.

What competitions have you competed in as a pro? Results?

My first pro show was the Tampa Pro were I place 12. Then I did the NY Pro and I place 6. My 3rd Pro show was this year INDY Pro we’re I place 3, then NY pro 5th place, then PR Pro were I place 3rd.

What is up next for you?

My next show will be the Tampa Pro again.

Is there anyone you would like to thank?

I would like to thank my fiancé for sticking with me in this Journey for being by my side in the ups and down of my bodybuilding career. Also my family for believing in me and helping me to achieve my goals. I would like to thank God as well for keeping me healthy so I can enjoy every step forward of this sport and also my buddy Tony from Iron Temple and my training partner Mathias.
