Bob Cicherillo, 2000 NPC USA Champion and the “Voice of Bodybuilding” is the guest on this episode of the Bodybuilding Legends Podcast to talk about his long career. Bob began competing at only 13 years old in his hometown of Rochester, New York. He won the 1987 NPC Junior Nationals and battled his way to the top of the competitive ranks of the NPC until he finally got his pro card by winning the 2000 NPC USA Championships. Bob talks about what bodybuilding was like in the 1980’s and ’90’s, the current judging standards of the IFBB and if the posing round should be judged. At the end of the interview, host John Hansen reads the article “The Junior Nationals Champ Doesn’t Train for Second Place” written by J.M. Manion from the April, 1988 issue of Flex Magazine.
