Obi Obadike Lands Cover of Maximum Fitness

Fitness model and WBFF Pro Obi Obadike has landed on the cover of Maximum Fitness ...

Obi Obadike: "You will never know how bad I wanted this cover and how hard I worked after my cover tries to help make this happen. Was it worth the wait and all the work I put in? Absolutely it was! I believe that success is never attained alone. There is no fitness model out there that has gotten a cover by themselves without help from somebody."

After three cover tries over the last twelve months ... Obi finally made his dream come true ...

Obi Obadike: "To every aspiring fitness model out there who has emailed me over the past year trying to get into a fitness magazine and who has not gotten their opportunity please "never give up". Even someone as fit as I still has to work his butt off to get on fitness covers and land ad campaigns. If you believe in yourself and you work hard at this I guarantee you it will happen for you. Remember the blog I wrote the abs and face will get only you at the door. It is more than just great abs and a great face."

The magazine hits newsstands on June 24 ...
