Once again, No Joke Lifestyle is in the building at SNBF's first show
of 2010. Bruce and Carol always put on a reputable show with a
great turnout of competitors and fans alike. The competitors looked
great and No Joke Lifestyle was behind the scenes getting
interviews and photos with top competitors. Jay Johnson took on
other top male bodybuilders and won securing him his pro card.
Sylvia Grant accomplished the same feat in the women's division.

live action.
JAY JOHNSON PART ONE
Nitro: Backstage, fresh off the stage with Jay Johnson, who just killed them and came in
first place. How you feeling?
Jay: I’m feeling good man! I’m pumped, I’m shaking but I’m good!
Nitro: You look really, really good man. I heard you say you dieted down and chopped a
lot of weight. How much weight were you talking about?
Jay: I cut about 40 lbs man. I started out about 190 and some change. Through diet
about 6 month worth of training, dieting and cardio everyday, I got down to about 154.
Nitro: How many shows have you done?
Jay: This is my 3rd on right now, all natural.
Nitro: You look good. Now you are about to go toe to toe with guys over here in each
class; are you ready for these cats?
Jay: Man, I’m ready. I’m going to rip it! It’s done!
Nitro: Tell me a little bit about your training background. Where are you working out at?
Jay: I’m working out up in Asheville, NC. It’s a place called Rush Fitness Center. I have
been training since I was about 13, that’s all I know!
Nitro: How old are you?
Jay: I am 27.
Nitro: What’s next on the agenda for you? Besides taking down these giants out here
that you’re about to go toe to toe with. Do you have another show on the horizon?
Jay: I was planning on hitting one more this year, hopefully a pro! They are going to
determine that in a second. If not then I will probably hit one in the end of June.
Nitro: I’m going to let you go ahead and you prepare to do your thing. Thanks for the
opportunity to talk to you. I want the fans to look at you and know your name and know
your look. You definitely have a lot of potential to go far. I appreciate your time.
Jay: I appreciate it man, take care.
JAY JOHNSON PART TWO
Nitro: This dude just won the whole thing!
Jay: I didn’t expect it, to be honest with you. I just gave it my all and put in everything I
got. The tall dudes were trying to stand in front of me, but like I said earlier, it wasn’t
going to happen!
Nitro: I saw you going up there and fighting in front of the judges. That’s the way you do
it. That’s good stuff man. What is next for you?
Jay: well, now, I guess I go to the pro circuit. I know they have one coming up in
November. I want to eat a little food so I’m going to wait until then. I’m going to get with
that one. That’s the one I’m going to do next.
Nitro: You are the champ, after all of this, what do you want to eat?
Jay: I don’t even have to think about it…RIBS! I’m going to get some ribs, sweet
potatoes, and chicken bacon fried with ranch.
Nitro: Tell me what you believe was the hardest part about getting ready for this event.
Jay: By far, the diet between the diet and the time constraints on training. I have a full
time job, so it’s tough but the diet was the hardest thing.
Nitro: That’s pretty much across the board. Obviously not eating what you’re supposed
to and eating what you’re supposed to pays off. That’s the whole thing about the lifestyle
that we’re highlighting. I really appreciate that. I’m looking forward to seeing you on the
pro circuit. We’re going to see your face we’re going to get to know you. Thank you so
much for your time.
Jay: Thank you man, I appreciate it and I will see you out there in the pros!

SYLVIA GRANT
Nitro: Backstage again with Sylvia Grant! You have two trophies in your hand, tell me
about them.
Sylvia: A lot of hard work and dedication. I am just so thankful to God first for this hard
work and dedication to get me out of the bed. My trainer, Tamekia, doesn’t give up on
me. My husband, of course, is my biggest fan and my daughters for their support.
Nitro: Tell everybody which classes you just dominated. Tell them about both classes.
Sylvia: I did both classes. I did Open Figure Tall and I came in 1st. Then I got Overall,
winning over Short class, I had to beat Short and got Overall. I won everything Overall!
Nitro: You are amazing! I have the other interview on the site already so when they see
you again they will be like…”Oh yeah, we recognize this one from the last time!” Keep
doing what you’re doing. You take care and have a good night.
Sylvia: I am going to get something to eat. I’m going to get my Zaxby’s grilled chicken
salad!
Nitro: I already know where you’re going because we discussed this on the last
interview!
Sylvia: I truly believe in that. When I start this regiment and I started winning this year, I
am going to finish winning!
Nitro: If it’s working for you, don’t change it. You make sure you do that! Thank you!
Sylvia: Thank you sweetheart!
