I've spent a lot of time learning about Canadian competitors, promoters, competitions and our history in bodybuilding.

If you can tell me who all 3 of the men in the picture above are, I tip my hat off to you. If you've been following my profile work, you should be able to easily tell 2 of the 3 in the pic. If not, at least 1 in the pic you should know just by being a member here for a few months.

But there is one I haven't spoken about on that pic that has been a huge part of the Canadian bodybuilding past and present. Do you all know who he is and what he has done for the sport in Canada?

Greg Doucette (obviously) and Gary Bartlett on the left. Gary's been doing photography, etc, for many years in the Canadian scene. Have to admit, I cheated on the last. It's Jean 'Ti-Jean' LeBlanc. He was runner-up at the World Championship in Belgium in 1982. He won Mr. Canada four times throughout his bodybuilding career at the National Canadian Championships.

Well known bodybuilder Jean LeBlanc, or otherwise known as “Ti-Jean” mostly due to his height of 5 feet 3 inches tall was born on Canada Day, July 1st, 1954 in Moncton, NB.

Garry also wrote for MD and MuscleMag International. Did show coverage and photography. He's been doing this longer than I have been bodybuilding.

I have been in contact with Ti-Jean and Heather (his wife) Leblanc. Great people. Promoter's for the upcoming Atlantic Classic. I will be doing a profile on Heather when I get to the fitness and figure stuff.

Here is Ti-Jean's profile in case you missed it. He's one of our IFBB Pro's. http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14199

And lastly, Greg Doucette which needs no introduction as he's part of the CBB family now :)

I know Garry and Ti Jean quite well....I actually used to train with Ti Jean in Moncton when I was living there - We trained at Body and Soul till it closed then we both were at Gymnasia in Dieppe....He is a HUGE source of information on bodybuilding, and how to perfect your craft. I owe a lot to that man

those 3 people are fixtures in this sport. great people. too bad everyone in this sport arent like those 3 men above.

wont drop names, but there are too many in this sport that are only in it for themselves, contrary to what they might tell people.

hey MP, have you thought about a section that posts each provinces bylaws? so competitors now their rights, if any actually care.

Not a bad idea physique. Small issue, but I know I'm still sketchy on the taking-pics-during-competition thing.
