Hello to all you fans out there.

Hmmm were should i start, first off i want to thank God for he has blessed me in so many ways and i am very humble and grateful for that. My first Pro show W-O-W, what an experience. I came to Miami mentally and physically prepared to do battle, my main goal was to present a complete and classic physic for all to see.

I must say that i am honored to be the Superbody Pro Champion. I'll do my best to be a great ambassador and represent our sport to the highest level. I want to thank everyone who expressed their happiness for me. Personally i had a great time in Miami, there were so many beautiful people. I met lots of competitors and fans and everyone seems to be having a good time. I was hanging out with my boys Jamel and Denis we had a blast. I got a chance to check out some of the other events and i must say that Musclemania did a good job organizing the whole event.

I would like to comment on one issue regarding the show. I heard about a few guys complaining about the judging criteria. I personally think a few guys like Denis and Grant should have placed higher but hey that's my opinion. We should understand that we never get to see ourselves on stage. The judges get the best view of everyone and they did there best judging everybody. My take on the whole issue is that some guys should work on dieting more and learn how to dry out for a show instead of trying to find excuses for there poor outings. These guys always have excuses for there lack of hard work, you hear it all the time, it's politics, it's the judges, it's the stage, etc. It's never them not dieting enough or getting rid of their water retention, come on guys it's time to look within yourself for answers. I think Musclemania did a good job putting together a great event and to hear a few guys whining and complaining just takes away from a beautiful event. I would like to thank all competitors for competing and congratulate all winners.

Right now I'm working on several shoots for three different magazines. I also started my own personal celebrity training company, which focuses on training celebrities. I just signed a major celebrity to my company and I'm talking to a few others. I will be on tour with my client for three months so if i don't answer to your emails right away please understand that I'm outta town. I also don't know when I'll be competing next but I'll keep everyone posted on that . . . but Cali is already sounding awfully cools with me. I'm in the process of building my company and branching into the whole entertainment field. For me bodybuilding is fun and i will always be a bodybuilder but my goals are way bigger than bodybuilding, i just want to promote and educate the public about the benefits of training and nutrition.

It's time to send out some shout outs, first off i want to thank my wonderful girlfriend Rita for her love and support, without her i couldn't have done the show. Thanks for putting up with me and all my posing around the house. Big shout out to my boy Jamel Keels for being so positive. You're getting better everyday, keep up the good work. Shout out my homegirls Alicia Denson and Rebecca Lee for helping me with my routine and Alicia keep doing your thing girl. To Denis Coprie you're the coolest guy ever. To Grant Johnson i love your routine and keep your head up bro. To big Erine Richards you're a true gentleman. To Hugh Ross thanks for all the tips, it really paid off. Big shout out to my boy Kenny Santiago hope all is going well in Cali. To Anthony Villacci thanks for coming out to support the show. Shout out to Carey Adison for coming out too. To Dion Benjamin hope to see you on stage again. To Matt Sterling you have a great future ahead of you. To Janelle thanks for all the support, see you in November. Big shout out to Lou Zwick and the whole Musclemania crew for giving me a platform to showcase my talent. Last but not least to all my fans and everybody who's supported and believed in me from day one. This victory is not for me but for you all. To anyone i forgot don't be mad at me, I'll get you on the next column.

Peace and love all,

Ulisses
