HISTORY Mr. Hazelwood was the brainchild of Phu N.and Drew B. First created as "A testosterone fueled competition to encourage healthy eating and muscle building", Mr. Hazelwood, much like it's participants, quickly became a Goliath.

2010 The first Mr. Hazelwood competition happened in 2010 and consisted of a field of 3 participants. The results this years were as follows: Phu N: MR HAZELWOOD, Best Chest, Mr. Congeniality Drew B: Best Legs & Best Shoulders Larry M: Best Arms & Best Back The competition was a raging success; but will go down in history as the Mr. Hazelwood year of controversy. The primary cause of controversy came from the judges. There was some concern that the judges "spread the wealth" to avoid hurt feelings. In the end, the competitors agreed to accept the outcome, while secretly counting the minutes until the next year where they could redeem themselves. The other point of contention was the trading of shirts between Phu and Larry, a move that could have been taken as a real slap in the face to the judges.

2011 Mr. Hazelwood is scheduled for June 11th, 2011. Within 1 year of it's inception, Mr. Hazelwood grew by 66%. Originally the field of competitors almost doubles until John W, withdrew from the competition. While some people thought John simply couldn't make the trip to Venice, others took his absence as a sign of protest since his request for a new category of "most vascular left leg" was denied. NEWCOMERS The newcomers this year were Eric S and Adam P. The two newcomers could not be more different and added great diversity to the competition. While Eric is thinner than the other contenders, he lacks muscle mass and often has been called "skinny fat" due to his body composition that is reminiscent of a Biggest Loser contestant. Adam, on the other hand, demonstrates a lot of mass, but is hampered by an equal amount of body fat. Additionally, since John did not join the competition Adam is the tallest competitor, which is an obvious disadvantage when body building. The addition of newcomers led to the inception of a new category "top newcomer". The big question for this title is can Eric gain more mass than Adam can lose weight. VETERANS As reigning Mr Hazelwood, Phu is obviously the man to beat. Larry has been putting in more mirror time than any of the competitors, and it is obvious that in his eye, he is comparing himself to Phu. Drew has emerged as the Dark Horse of the 2011 competition. Drew has been working out outside the scrutiny of the other competitors. In the spirit of true sportsmanship, Drew did share the secret of his "vacuum" with the other competitor. Was this an act of intimidation of goodwill? Time will tell.

FUTURE A Mrs. Hazelwood competition has already emerged challenging the contestants to log the most time exercising within the given time frame.
