Fernando Maradona: Brazil Muscle

Brazilian Fernando Noronha Maradona preparing for the 2008 World Championships in Bahrain where he was 10th in the heavies:

At the 2009 Worlds Fernando fell to only 13th in his class:

Fernando is the 2007, 2008 and 2009 South American Amateur Championships heavyweight champ, and was the overall champ in 2007. The next two year he lost the overall title to the super heavy winners: at the 2008 show it was Julio Balestrim and in 2009 Pablo Zayas (who he beat in the heavies in 2008).

Fernando was at the 2010 Arnold Amateur, but didn't place, and I don't know his current competitive plan but in the meantime you can see more of him at Muscle Gallery.

Alexis Ellis is a New Yorker-turned-Californian born of Dominican decent. Due to her heritage, she enjoys love, life, among everything else. Before her fitness/figure days, she was a heartbeat away from making her own history by becoming "Honor Recruit" in the Los Angeles Sheriff Dept, something no other female at that time was able to get. However, during the 10th week of training, she would tear her calf muscle and her shin would shatter her Tibia.

Dre' Dillard is a no nonsense woman when it comes to competition and training clients in the Dallas area. For her, bodybuilding is a way of life. Like most that compete in this sport, she feels that bodybuilding is something that you have to be absolutely in love with in order to do well. There's no "maybe I like it, maybe I don't" attitude about the sport; either you love it or you don't. While she is a trainer, she also holds a Masters Degree in Management, which says a lot about her. She felt like the corporate America scene wasn't in her best interests, so she decided to do competitions and personal training, which has been very good to her so far.
