July 24th, 2010 was yet another stellar showing for the sport.  NPC District Chairman and promoter, Jon Lindsay, hosted another all-star turn out with the Los Angeles Championships this past weekend.  (July 24th, 2010).  On hand were over 170 competitors, vying for the top spots in this national qualifyiing event, just 1 week away from the “big show” of the amateur competition calendar, the USA’s in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As per tradition, Jon foregoes pro-level guest posers at this event, promoting instead the local bodybuilders that are prepping for stage at the USA’s the following weekend.  Tonight was no different.  Perennial USA contenders from the greater LA area included several athletes, all in top condition – PD Devers, Pete Ciccone, Jesse Sabateer, Al Shahnazarian, and Kelly Bautista were among the MAN Sports friends and family to grace the stage, guest-posing with the “USA preview Posedown” tradition tonight.
