STEVE KUCLO

What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced running your own gym?

A:

DANY

GARCIA

It’s still months away,

but any hints about

what’s planned for the

2017 Olympia

Weekend?

A: That would ruin the

surprise! Beyond

promising that it will

be an amazing event,

all I can say is that my

Seven Bucks Produc-

tion co-founder,

Dwayne “The Rock”

Johnson, and I are truly

excited about this

opportunity to shine a

global spotlight on our

world of health, fitness,

and bodybuilding.

JUAN MOREL

Do you like the idea of competing onstage with icons like

Kevin Levrone and Flex Wheeler?

A: It would be an honour to be on a stage competing with either of

those guys. It would be sort of unbelievable. It’s hard to say how

many of the current group of competitors were originally inspired

to compete because they saw either of those guys competing

years ago. We all look at their videos to learn about how to do it

onstage, how to pose, how to make an impression. They’re the

best of the best. It would be amazing to have a chance to be next

to either of them onstage.

WILLIAM

BONAC

Do you change your posing

routine or your music for

each contest on a tour?

A: Yes, I do—it’s a small

effort to do so, plus it’s

boring constantly doing

the same routine with the

same song. I don’t practise

my routine. I just go out

there and freestyle it—just

improvise with my posing

in the moment. So don’t

ever ask me to repeat my

routine, because I can’t!
