Personal trainer and natural bodybuilder Jermaine Bernard, from Phoenix, Arizona, recently competed in Paul Love's NPC San Jose Bodybuilding Championships. From the shots displayed here, you can see he's got both the muscle and the charisma to be a notable presence in the bodybuilding world.

We'll be photographing him around mid-September for one of our ongoing series of portfolios. In the meantime, here are a few of his contest pictures from San Jose.

And, if you're in the Phoenix-Chandler, Arizona, area and need personal training, you can find him at L. A. Fitness, which is located at the corner of Dobson and Warner in Chandler, Arizona.
