MONTH ONE VOTING BEGINS!

It’s back . . . and voting begins on June 1. Thousands of gorgeous ladies will submit their photos during the two-week voting period at the beginning of each month from June through August. Viewers will cast their votes and our expert panel of judges will choose two monthly winners.

COMPLETE CONTEST COVERAGE

Only three months to go until the Olympia and the IFBB season is heating up. The FLEX team will be live at the Toronto Pro Supershow on June 17–18 and the Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships on June 25 with full contest galleries, play-by-play, interviews with the winners and backstage pictures. Don’t miss it!

HUNT FOR A PRO CARD

Four guys, one goal: an IFBB pro card at the 2011 NPC USA on July 29–30 in Las Vegas. We’ll follow top NPC bodybuilders from the start of their diets right up to the moment they step onstage. In the gym, at home, and everywhere in between — this is an inside look at what it takes to become a USA (and, it is hoped, pro card) winner.

ATHLETE BLOGS

IFBB pros Fouad Abiad, Flex Lewis and Amanda Latona (plus surprise guests) check in each week with training and diet tips, funny stories and even a few life lessons. Plus, catch Abiad each Monday in his video blog.
