Silvio Samuel wins the first pro show of the year 2009

Silvio Samuel was the hot favorite and he won the show with his very hard conditioning and ripped looks. Though the judges critiqued his blocking physique, they had no other option but to award Silvio the victory.

Moe El Moussawi looked much bigger than in Mr.Olympia 2008, but he was holding a little bit of water which gave an edge to Silvio.

Ronnie Rockel as always came in with a smile and posed his way to the top 3. He was the person with more fullness and muscle maturity than anyone else on stage.

Hidetada Yamagishi came back to the pro stage with a bang. His conditioning was spot on. The amazing thing about this competitor is that he keeps on gaining muscle even while on dieting. He is sure to do some damage to the top spots of Mr.O this year.

Officially the 2009 Pro season has begun and Silvio takes up the first Victory. A lot more of muscle mayhem to come.

Hidetada Yamagishi on the way to Iron Man Pro 2009

Yesterday (6^th January 2009) I got an opportunity to communicate with one of the best upcoming bodybuilders in the Olympia arena “Hidetada Yamagishi”(The communication took place in Milos Sarcev Discussion Forum). Hide made his Olympia debute in 2007 and shocked the world with his muscle density and fullness. He stands 5feet 8inches tall and competes at around 200lbs. He is Japans pride in bodybuilding.

As with any Milos’s men Hide scores the stage with complete aesthetic posing routine and stunning conditioning. Hide has a blog on Koloseum and he updates it on a regular basis. For those of you who think that Americans rule the bodybuilding ring, Hide will prove it wrong very soon.

For the 2007 Olympia Hide was trained by ”The Mind” Milos Sarcev and for this year he is being trained by the champion trainer Charles Glass. As Milos is very busy with his business dealings he has asked Hide to train with Charles. But sill Hide is a Koloseum athlete and enjoys his daily dose of amino products manufactured by Koloseum. When asked about Charles being trainer of Hide, Milos says, “For everyone to understand - Hide is my dear friend, true brother and "my athlete"...My present job doesn't allow me enough time to train him - so I certainly recommended that he should train with Charles while he is in Venice…I respect Charles as a person and a trainer...and have only the very best things to say about him...(I know that many people want to believe that I have something against every trainer or a 'guru"...which could not be further from the truth...)”

While many people debated that Hide will place on the top 5, Milos said that he might win the show as well.

I sincerely feel that Hide will step on stage on his life time best and give all the competitors a run for their life and may as well take the Iron Man Pro 2009 title.
