In a surprising announcement, Cedric McMillan has decided that his spring season is not over. He will be competing at the FIBO Power Championships on April 14 in Cologne, Germany, and may possibly do at least one more show before spring turns to summer.

Until now, the favorites for top spots consisted of Johnnie Jackson (last year's winner), Ronny Rockel, Toney Freeman, Ed Nunn, and Robert Piotrkowicz. Many have speculated that the most likely outcomes are either Johnnie repeating, or Toney edging him out. Cedric McMillan changes the entire dynamic. He's tighter now than he was at the Arnold, and a Big Mac in the type of condition we all want to see from him would be deadly. But what led him to this decision?

"First off, after I got my ass beat at the Arnold, I said I'm doing the Arnold Brazil. I can't go out like that," Cedric told me. "Second, I still need to qualify for the Mr. Olympia. And third, I gotta do this for my family. I gotta make some money for them, they put up with a lot with all this bodybuilding stuff and they deserve it."

Cedric's contest prep has never stopped. "I've stuck to my diet, going real low on carbs; and I've been killing the cardio." His condition kept improving, especially in terms of quad separation and striations in the glutes and hams. "All the shit people wanted me to take off, it's been coming off," he said. Then last week, after returning from an appearance in Paris for Sci Tec at a fitness expo, he sent some progress pics to his coach Chris Aceto. In spite of holding some water from the flight back from France, Aceto saw significant changes. They spoke recently about the possibility of entering the FIBO Power show. Finally, today Cedric pressed Chris for an answer, as the entry deadline is tomorrow.

"Let's do it, you can win," Aceto told McMillan. "Plus, he said, going into the Arnold Brazil with a win puts you in really good position."

I asked if Cedric was also contemplating a return to the New York Pro to possibly repeat for a win, even though Victor Martinez seems to be the favorite in many people's minds. "Honestly, I can't even think about New York right now," he stated. "That's way too far away for me to worry about. One thing at a time. Win the FIBO show, win the Arnold. That's it."
