Training Innovations would like to congratulate Jojo Ntiforo for his 2nd place finish at the IFBB Wings of Strength competition held July 4th & 5th in Chicago, IL.  IFBB Pro veteran Roelly Winklaar was given 1st place, but it was the opinion of many in attendance that Jojo should have won the show.  The great news is that with his 2nd place finish, Jojo is now qualified for Joe Weider’s Mr. Olympia competition to be held in Las Vegas on September 19th and 20th.  This will be the 50th anniversary of the Mr. Olympia competition and will be televised on NBC sports.  Congratulations to Jojo on a spectacular 2014 competitive year!  We will all be out in Vegas to support you and hopefully watch you take a top 10 placing in the Super Bowl of bodybuilding!

Body Fortress recently flew me out to the 2014 Bodybuilding.com Fit Expo held in Boise, Idaho the weekend of June 5th – June 8th. The first day of the expo was only open to Bodybuilding.com employees and their families, but the second day was open to the general public. There were so many people in attendance that there was a line of people wrapped around the building, waiting to get in. I had an awesome time and got to meet lots of new fans and friends.

Training Innovations would like to congratulate Jojo Ntiforo for his stellar performance at the 2014 Europa Pro Super Show held May 9th and 10th in Dallas Texas. Jojo placed 4th in a very tough lineup of competitors and arguably should have placed higher. Last year Jojo placed 9th in this same show. This was the best condition Jojo has been in to date and he was rewarded for it. Way to start the competition season off right Jojo. All the hard work is finally paying off.

As many of you may already know, I can now proudly call myself a Body Fortress sponsored athlete. Body Fortress flew me out to the 2014 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic and Fit Expo held in Columbus, Ohio the weekend of February 28th – March 2nd. The Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic is a professional bodybuilding, fitness, figure, bikini, and physique competition that Arnold Schwarzenegger himself sanctions every year. It also features many other events including strong man, arm wrestling, boxing, fencing, etc. The Fit Expo is held in conjunction with the show in order for supplement companies and other vendors to display their different fitness products to the general public. I worked the Fit Expo all three days and had an amazing time and I even got the opportunity to flex my biceps for Arnold Schwarzenegger himself. Click here for more photos!

Training Innovations would like to congratulate both Franco Ntiforo (my nephew) and Andrea Medina for their stellar performances at the Mid USA/Mr. New Mexico competition held July 6th, 2013 at the Hispanic Cultural Center. My nephew Franco, who is only 16 years old, won 1st place in the teen divisions, the novice middleweight division, and the open middleweight division. And Andrea won 1st place in the masters figure divisions, and 2nd place in the open figure divisions. We needed a wheelbarrow to carry all of their trophies! Great job to you both. All the hard work is definitely paying off! Click here for more photos!
