A word from Muscle Mania Pittsburgh Body Building Coordinator:
Hello all, I am Jody D. Ramos. A professional bodybuilder with musclemania. I have been a pro for about 9 years. Guess you can say I am one of the old timers in the pro division. I usually work a 12 hour day, so anyone telling you that you can't do it when you work to many hours is plain lazy. All in all, I find bodybuilding fun. Competing with a good group of guys is great. Musclemania encompasses the best and people are always great. None of that super competitive nature backstage where no one talks to each other. Backstage is like a standup comic show, all of us playing and busting on each. Also helping each other out. Hope to see as many people as possible at the show!
Love & Respect Jody D. Ramos
