Musclemania Fever touches down
with Style in Surfers Paradise
I
t has been a long time coming but finally
Musclemania Australia touched down in Surfers
Paradise with the weekend kicking off with the
Natural Bodz Media /Event Registration day on the
18th at the Mantra Legends Hotel.
Editor Steve Jones was on hand with a professional
studio setup to capture images for future Covers
and Star Profiles in Natural Bodz Magazine. Steve
said “I was impressed by the amazing talent that
stood in front of my lens, it was set to make for a
tough battle on competition day”.
Over 110 athletes registered for the event with a
good number of them taking part in the media day
shoot. The standard was “World Class” in respect
that a good number of the athletes could have
easily stood on a World or Universe stage and been
very competitive.
As the event is a “Drug Free” competition ALL
Bodybuilders, Physique and Figure competitors had to
provide a drug test. Steve said “We are serious about
keeping this clean as we want to ensure competitors have an
even playing field”.
The sound and lighting team did an amazing job bringing a
Vegas like stage to the Surf City Centre venue. There is no
doubt a lot of time and planning and behind the scenes
work that goes on to pull off an event like this.
Steve Jones said “We have spent a good part of 2013
planning for this event to ensure we provided a well
structured and professional show for all involved. I can
foresee 2014 being much stronger and we are already
looking forward to lifting the bar even further next year.
