We all knew that there was an issue with Jay Cutler’s bicep from the 2011 Olympia on stage, and perhaps, that issue a few weeks before the contest caused him to not fully train correct, especially in the crucial last two weeks. This week, Jay Cutler had bicep surgery, and his recovering quite nicely. We all wish you the very best Jay!
Is there no stopping this champion? Wherever Adela enters a contest, she continues to dominate and win! With two weeks left for the 2012 Arnold, Adela had no competition here as the judges rewarded first places in both the swimsuit and the routine portions of the contest. It also means that under the new rules placed with the IFBB that no one from the contest is eligible for the 2012 Fitness Olympia, except Adela (who already qualified). Here are the results.
The weather was beautiful here in Santa Monica, and Lionel Beyeke, who was on the cover of the February issue of Flex Magazine, was the favorite coming into the contest. He did not disappoint, dominating with his muscularity, and although not 100% conditioned, managed to win first place, and rightfully so. Ben Pakulski and Fouad Abiad were battling for second, and while Found was ahead of Ben after prejudging, finals do matter! Ed Correa was the most conditioned in the contest, but placed 5th, to the dismay of quite a few people. Here are the results.
Live from the Flex Pro – various tweets as the show unfolds… since we are actually at the contest working hard, taking pics and getting stories, here is our live tweets from the press pit.
With one week to go, the 2012 IFBB Desert Muscle Classic in Phoenix, featuring three IFBB contests, will be held. IFBB Men’s Bodybuilding 212 and Under, IFBB Bikini and the first ever IFBB Women’s Physique contest (a brand new division). Who will be competing? We have the competitor lists.
At the 2012 NPC Gold Contest contest in San Diego, Lionel Brown guest posed, one week out from the Flex Pro Bodybuilding Contest (which is next Saturday). Here are some pics of Lionel on stage, much heavier and more muscular than he has been.
Many competitors and fans are heading to the Scottish Rite Auditorium this Saturday, February 11th, for the 2012 NPC Gold Coast Muscle Classic, featuring Bodybuilding, Figure, Bikini and Physique competitions.
