Aside from being Black Friday, why was the day after Thanksgiving so memorable? Because it signaled the 12-week out mark of the first-ever FLEX Pro on February 19, which kicks off the 2011 IFBB Pro League season.

Presented by Body Fortress, the FLEX Pro marks the return of professional bodybuilding to Los Angeles after a one-year hiatus. The contest, which promises to feature some of the world's best bodybuilders, will be held at the Santa Monica Civic Center, just a stone's throw away from Venice, CA, the Mecca of Bodybuilding.

Ben Pakulski, Fouad Abiad and Ben White are just some of the big names already slated to compete. But there's more ... lots more! Dexter Jackson and Kai Greene are just two of the huge names rumored to be considering making the FLEX Pro their 2011 debut.

As if that's not enough, the FLEX Pro will feature a Los Angeles edition of the insanely popular FLEX Bikini Model Search! Stay tuned for more on the FLEX Pro, coming later this week.
