But Warlick is no stranger to competitive bodybuilding. He has been competing about four years and boasts a list of titles as proof of his hard work. Warlick said he won the Junior Mr. Georgia contest in 1985, got second-place in the Golds Classic and placed fourth in the Mr. Georgia contest in 1986. He can now add a win in Mr. USC contest to his credit. Second-place Hcrlinger said he was satisfied with his performance. He said he was bigger and better than he was last year in the same contest. But he said he was relieved to have it behind him. "I'm iust clad it's . . . over." Berlingcr said. The crowd gave Berlingcr heavy applause for his routine, in which he posed to a rhythm and blues song followed by Salt 'N' Pepa's popular song "Push It." Third-place Ron Riser, a junior, won the short class easily. He was the only person in it. I here was another guy in it this morning (at the prejudging), but he dropped out," Kiser said.
