Bodybuilding, Supplements and Competition News
Three IFBB Pro contests were held here in Sacramento at the Crest Theater, including the first ever IFBB Pro Mens Physique contest, where the standards for the new division was set for the pros. Here are the contest results from the sold out event.
The IFBB is heading to Sacramento this Saturday. In a new contest called the California Governor’s Cup, three IFBB contests are going to be held, including the first IFBB Pro Men’s Physique contest, as well as a Pro Figure and Pro Women’s Physique contest. Along with a huge NPC contest, here is the info on the contest and competitor lists.
Congratulations to Sara Hurrle, Oksana Grishina and Jennifer Andrews for their respective wins at the 2012 IFBB St. Louis Pro contests. In a surprise move, Sara switched from Figure to Womens Physique at the beginning of the week, and amazed the judges, as the Womens Physique division is defined more and more as to what the judges are looking for. Here are the results.
There was never any question if Branch Warren would win this contest. The question was if Branch Warren would take it easy from his impressive win at the 2012 Arnold Classic, or stay in shape and impress. Well, he stayed in shape, coming to Melbourne in incredible shape and impressive many down under.
Erin Stern vs. Nicole Wilkins. Nicole beat Erin at the 2012 Arnold Classic, and two weeks later, Erin came back strong, defeating and defending her Australian pro title. Congratulations to Erin, and setting up an other epic battle for the 2012 Olympia. Here are the results.
Something had to happen. Last year, during and before the Olympia, it was realized that way too many competitors were being qualified to the best and most elite contest of the year, resulting in 28 competitors just in bikini alone on stage. And crowding what should have been just the top 15-18 competitors only.
Sonia Gonzales, after winning the 2012 Bikini International a week ago in Columbus, Ohio, came back into her hometown state by storm, and continued her winning ways. Justine Munro, who injured herself a week ago in Columbus, and was unable to compete, looked great and placed second, while Narmin Assria continued to improve her physique, and placed third here in Torrance, California.
Dan Solomon, creator of the popular radio internet show, Pro Bodybuilding Radio, has been appointed to the IFBB Press Commission. Congratulations Dan! Dan’s role will be to help bring out information and news to help out Dr. Rafael Santonja worldwide bodybuilding initiatives.
