The 2011 NPC JR Nationals kicked off last night when hundreds of competitors checked in at the Hyatt Regency OHare airport in Rosemont, Illinois. Its always fun to watch the business professionals giving strange looks at the tanned hard bodies at the hotel.

Tonight, the women will take the stage in Fabulous Female Friday. The Figure and Bikini will dominate the show once again but Womens Physique is on the rise. The numbers continue to be strong in the new division while the female bodybuilding numbers are shrinking. Fitness numbers are also low but there should be at least five women in each of the three classes. Follow our coverage here on Hardbody.com or on twitter.com/hardbodynews.

You never know what could happen.Yesterday, Bikini competitor Lisa Lutz and her mom were trapped in an elevator during a photo shoot. The fire department came out and rescued the ladies and youve never seen a happier group of firemen in your life.
