Editorial by Juan Carlos Lopez

Welcome fitness friends, I hope to find you well! November is over, and NPC Nationals took place on the weekend of the 20th. It is crazy to travel in the pandemic, flights are way cheaper than before. Masks are still required in airports and planes, but for domestic flights, no vaccine is checked.

It was interesting being in Orlando for Nationals instead of Miami, I got used to it being there for the past 10 years! The models I did shoots with told me about stories of family or friends with covid, but none of them seemed too concerned. They did report less competitors in each class, and I think this is due to many not having their gyms available to get all their workouts in, and having comp dates up in the air with all that's going on.

The Olympia is going to take place in Orlando as well in a couple weeks! Still not doing a booth, but going to do photo shoots anyways. They told me that there would be a "Pavilion" at the Orange County Convention Center with booths, but it didn't sound worth it for HardFitness to have a booth with so many less spectators to buy the calendar.

Keep checking in for the next issue and the Editorial of Olympia 2020 updates!

Thanks, JC
