Coming up soon is the 2008 Emerald Cup Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness championships. As usual, this event will be held at the Maydenbaur Center in Bellvue, Washington, this should be another great show. I have attended this show for many years now and I have to say, both as a coach and a competitor…this is one of the best run shows in the country. Brad Craig, the promoter of this show, really knows how to take care of the athletes who come to his show to compete. This year the show will be held April 18-19th with all of the figure and fitness judging and finals on Friday morning and evening, and all of the bodybuilding prejudging and finals on Saturday. This year there will be Victor Martinez, Melvin Anthony, and Dennis Wolf guest posing. It should stack up to be a wonderful show with lots of excitement. Also, the Emerald Cup hosts an Expo with vendors and free stuff. While it isn’t as big as the Arnold (what is?), it is a nice added touch to come away with a few freebies. Also, Bernadette Marturano, INBF figure Pro and myself will be giving a short figure posing seminar this weekend also. If you are in the Seattle Area this time of the year go to this show, it will be worth it.
