t’s confirmed! 2015 NPC USA champion Cody Montgomery has signed an exclusive contract with AMI/Weider Publishing. Only 20-years old at the time of his win on July 25, Montgomery is the youngest amateur to earn his pro card with an overall win at a pro qualifier, which was also his first at-bat in an open class contest. With an impressive resume that also includes three Teen Nationals (2012-14, also a record) and the 2014 Collegiate Nationals, Montgomery said this about his AMI/Weider deal: “Signing with Weider seems surreal. To think that pictures of me would be regularly found in a magazine in which many of the greatest bodybuilders in history have been featured…wow! I am beyond thrilled.” -

Saw this interesting, I feel like Paper is dead and social media/supplement wrapped into one is king now. But still good for him between that prime, guest posings he'll be getting booked for and if he trains people he should do pretty well for himself

Good for him, incredible future ahead.

Weider/AMI apparently also signed Juan Morel this week.

Makes me wonder if AMi wised up and is going to go full force into the digital world.

cody has a great future in bodybuilding, and now hes with weider they will put his face out there, has he got a supplement contract if not you would think one of the pros supplements lines would sign him someone like cutler athletics for example as hes 20-21 years old and he should have him begging to sign with them

AMI doesn't use their athletes for shit. Flex magazine is bi monthly now and its the same recycled articles. But good for Cody, make that money kid bc it wont last forever

Bingo.

Magazines are dead. So is waiting to get contest info.

Personalities will be more important in the future.
