After an impressive showing at the Olympia, Melvyn Anthony has been rewarded for
his efforts with a 1-year endorsement deal with supplement giant Twin Lab.
Melvyn has been working with none other than Charles Glass in his quest to
improve upon his 2nd place finish at last years Ironman. He was scheduled to
compete at this years Ironman on February 17 & at the Arnold Classic a week
later, but a torn triceps tendon in his right arm on the 8th of February has put
those plans on hold. As one can imagine the Marvelous one would be a little down
from an injury such as this, but when I spoke to him he was his usual happy
self. I will keep you updated on Melvyns recovery & future competitive plans.
Another man to have injured him self in the line of duty is Milos Sarcev. On the
11th of January while on the hack squat Milos tore his right Quadriceps. This is
a major set back for Milos as he was planning on doing some damage at this years
shows, the word is that Milos has come through with flying colors after going
under the knife on the 18th & he has sent word that he plans on doing the NOC
later this year, if he can walk on stage in mid June it will be an incredible
effort.
One man who is looking for redemption is Chris Cormier; the Real Deal took stock
of himself after his disappointing 5th place finish at the Olympia. Chris has
decided that it is time to become more disciplined if he hopes to reach his
eventual goal of claiming the Mr. Olympia crown. Chris's words regarding the
comments of Dennis James & Nasser El Sombaty were simple & to the point. All
they have done is awaken the sleeping giant & that he says, is bad news for
everyone else. Look for Chris to repeat at the Ironman.
Craig Titus & Kelly Ryan have settled nicely into their 5-bedroom home in Las
Vegas. Craig has come to terms with Weider for an additional 2 years & was happy
to report that he got the salary increase he was looking for. He has been
training the house down & is weighing a huge 275lbs; he is looking to walk on
stage at the May 4th Dallas pro show at 250lbs of rock hard muscle. I can
guarantee one thing. You will be seeing a bigger & better Craig Titus in 2002.
Kelly is continuing to improve her physique which has come along in leaps &
bounds the last 2 years, the only people that don't seem to acknowledge Kelly's
improvements are the judges as they continue to place her low in the physique
round. Some of Kelly's placing in this round are ridiculous to say the least,
but this just drives Kelly harder towards her eventual goal of claiming the Ms
Fitness Olympia title. Kelly has signed on for a further year with Bio-Chem &
will be writing for Oxygen Magazine in her own column called " Old School
training with Kelly Ryan".
Trainer to the stars Frankie Cassavette, has made quite a name for himself not
only as a trainer to professional athletes including Flex Wheeler & Chris
Cormier along with movie stars including such people as Denzel Washington & Ray
Liotta. For some people this would be enough, but not Frankie, he is now also
starring in Hollywood, look to see Frankie in the new motion picture John Q with
Denzel Washington.
Frankie is featured in the trailer for the movie not once but twice so you can
bet that his part isn't a small one.
Another bodybuilder to hit the big Screen is top Canadian bodybuilder & power
lifter Eddie Salem who made his acting debut in Roller Ball & from accounts his
fight scene is an eye catcher.
