IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Denis Sergovskiy is one of the most exciting muscle sensations to hit the bodybuilding competition scene in a long time. We met him at an event in 2005, just before he burst onto the American bodybuilding scene. Originally from Moscow, Denis has lived in the U.S.for only three years—and already, he speaks fluent English (or should we say …. American?). Currently living in Las Vegas, Denis decided to compete at the NPC 2007 Mr. LA. where he took the Super Heavyweight Class. Standing tall at t 6 feet, 1 inches; blessed with perfect symmetry, astonishing muscle detail and separations; and highly disciplined conditioning, Denis has as much personal charisma and appeal as anyone we’ve ever at MuscleGallery. Congratulations to Denis for receiving his Pro Card in 2008.

Tarek Elsetouhi is one of the newest stars on the IFBB Pro bodybuilding competition circuit. We became aware of Tarek in 2004 when he won the international German Championship twice. Tarek has been shoots in Hungary, Italy, Egypt, and Florida. We were so impressed with Tarek’s physique and can-do attitude that we agreed to sponsor him in the all-important 2008 Arnold Classic Amateur Championships, where he took both the Super Heavyweight Class and the Overall titles, and received his IFBB Pro Card. Within a short time, Tarek has since competed in four Pro Shows; in each one, he received one of the top spots and beat many of the biggest names in IFBB Pro Bodybuilding.

Probably the youngest IFBB professional on the pro circuit, this Mainz, Germany, native might be only 21 years old, but at 6 feet tall, he packs in 195 pounds of packed muscle at contest weight. At age 6, Daniel was already training for swimming, then took up handball. At 14, he began seriously weight training. Coached by Francisco Guerrero, Daniel took the German Junior Champion for three years running. Daniel went on to win the Heavyweight and Overall IFBB World Junior Championships in Budapest. Just two weeks later we shot him in so that you could see him at the beginning of an outstanding bodybuilding career. And congratulations to Daniel for receiving his IFBB Pro Card in 2008.

In the bodybuilding world, there are few acts as tough to follow as Arnold Schwarzenegger. As the current Mr. Austria, however, Tony Breznik is poised to follow In the footsteps of his countryman. We met Tony in Germany in 2006, when he was only 21 years old. We immediately invited Tony to New York for a shot. Two years later, Tony packed on 40 pounds of pure muscle, which won him the Mr. Austria title—and immediately afterward traveled to Miami for another shoot with MuscleGallery.
