Christopher Oketch - Kenya's/Qatar's Strongest Man & PNBA World Natural BB Champ

[MCWAY]

I saw this guy, one of the competitors at the 2019 INBA Natural Mr. Olympia coverage, from the movie Generation Iron: Natty 4 Life

Unfortunately, he placed 9th which was ridiculous.

0:12

But, he won the 2019 PNBA World Championship.

He's also a Mr. Kenya winner.

And he's Kenya's and Qatar's Strongest Man.

He called himself Mr. 3-in-1: A fitness athlete, a strongman, and a bodybuilder (Matt ought to dig this guy  ).

I'm surprised there is enough food in Kenya to support a bodybuilder.

Oh, there is....at least in Nairobi (as of 2006 when I was there). 

Here is Oketch in 3rd to Rob Terry and some other guy at the 2018 Natural Mr. Olympia:

From 1:33:50 and onward (Oketch is in the yellow, number 416)

You could feed a family of 6 with what Oketch eats in one day.

He's about to get robbed.

Robbed is what Oketch got at the Natural Olympia, featured in Generation Iron: Natty 4 Life.

In my view, the reason why natural bodybuilding doesn't really get over is because the bigger guys keep getting beat by much smaller guys who are super-ripped. Rob Terry's loss to Phillip Ricardo basically confirmed that for me.

Oketch should have been in the top 5, at least.

[MCWAY]

After further review, I'd put him top 3.

This guy seems to have enough.

If he eats that much, can you imagine how much Oketch devours?

[Humble Narcissist]

No more chickens in Kenya.

No more chickens in Kenya.

They may be out in Qatar, too  .

That was William Bonac? I thought he looked familiar. Oketch is listed at 6'4"; so that would make sense.

PNBA World Natural Bodybuilding Champion 2019



2021 Qatar's Strongest Man

The last one is for our resident disgruntled Canuck, in case he's lacking motivation.

Does he get drug tested?

Doesn't look natural at all.

Doesn't look natural at all.

He competes in the PNBA. As mentioned earlier, he won the PNBA World championship in 2019. He placed 9th at the INBA Natural Mr. Olympia. While binging on the Generation Iron movies, that's where I first saw him, particularly Generation Iron: Natty 4 Life.

That movie covered the 2019 INBA Mr. Olympia, where 2-time defending champion, Rob Terry, was going for the 3-peat.

Oketch calls himself, "Chris 3-in-1", because he's a bodybuilder, strongman, and fitness athlete. One of the videos I posted has him billed at 6'4" and 120 kg (265 lbs). I'm not sure if that's his bodybuilding competition weight or his strongman weight. Obviously, he looks a lot bigger, in strongman mode.

He looks great and is strong as hell.

I was just curious if these are tested events.

I don't know anything about PNBA on INBA.

They are. This is the organization with the "Wall of Shame". Anyone who gets popped on a drug test gets DQed and barred for life.

The record for this organization's Natural Mr. Olympia wins is six, held by Kiyoshi Moody.
