467 competitors competed in Las Vegas at the 2009 NPC USA’s, and 17 of them turned pro.  But for men’s bodybuilding, only the top three overall become pros out of 7 classes, which makes it tough to see someone as deserving as Tamer El-Guindy win his class, but lose out one of the overall cards to another. 

In the Heavyweight class, Mark Alvisi was the favorite, and did not disappoint, beating out an incredible Lee Banks who some people said that he should of won the class. Fred Smalls, Vladamir Sizov and Zinjun Croon took the other placings, and Mark Alvisi went on to get the overall too.

In the Middleweight class, there was no stopping Daryl Gee. From when I saw him at the NPC Los Angeles contest a week prior, the man’s physique was incredible. Just incredible. This guy, who didnt compete for 3 1/2 years, just came out of nowhere to dominate, and with that, received the second pro card. No one in this class came near to one of the most incredible Middleweights we have seen in a long time.

In the Super Heavyweights, Grigori Atoyan won his class, and also took the third overall pro card. Grigori has been waiting for this day for a very long time, and beat Keith Williams and Robert Burneika for the class win. But in one of the biggest upsets, at least in my mind, Grigori took the third overall pro card, while Tamer El-Guindy watched in amazement.

In the Light Heavyweight Class, Tamer El-Guindy looked spectacular, in the best shape of his career. The battle was between Branden Ray and Tamer, but Matthew Lowden, and Shaun Crump also looked great. Tamer won the class, and many of us thought he would be getting that third overall pro card. But he didn’t. Huge disappointment for many out there.

Ok, I was wrong in my prediction saying that Moe Elmoussawi was going to beat Silvio here at the 2009 Ironman Pro.  But it was close.  Silvio looked great in the prejudging, but Moe did battle for redemption in the finals, with the 4th and final round decided by one point only going to Silvio. Still, Silvio let it be known to me that how could I not have chosen him going into the contest. After all, in the last two contests before the Ironman, Silvio did beat Moe. My lecture backstage and me begging forgiveness for my ‘wrong’ prediction was just.

So will these two battle again? Yes, they will, for in six weeks, both of these competitors will meet again at the 2009 Arnold Classic. Moe insists that he can only get better, and can  beat Silvio. Of course, at that contest, there are many other top competitors who will vie for the top positions (Victor Martinez, Kai Greene), but for the rumble between these two in the war of words, it will another rematch.

Congratulations to Silvio for being the 2009 Ironman winner, and receiving a very nice check, which Mr. John Balik wrote right on the spot backstage! For complete scorecard results, please go to:

Dexter Jackson took the long trip across the ocean to visit Romania, where he promptly logged another win with his new title as the 2008 Mr. Olympia! Ronnie Rockel, who placed 14th at the Olympia, took second place here, while Martin Kjellstrom took third.

While fans of Martin Kjellstrom were happy with his third place finish, is it fair for Martin to be able to compete in the 2009 Olympia over others that are more qualified, but couldnt make the trip to Romania. That is the question that has been asked in terms of qualification to the big O. 

Here are the complete results for the 2008 Romanian Grand Prix.

Ok, well maybe we aren’t the ‘experts’ out there, but Lonnie Teper, Isaac Hinds, and Ron Avidan do manage to have lots of fun, and enjoy the Olympia weekend to it’s fullest. Right after the results of the 2008 Mr. Olympia, we made a video discussing on what we thought, who won, and if our predictions that we made actually came true.

Here is the video of ‘The Experts’ that evening.

Many thought it could not happen, but it did. Dexter Jackson beat Jay Cutler to win his first Mr. Olympia title. Jay, again, was not at his very best at Friday night’s prejudging, but managed to lose 12 pounds by Saturday night to fare much better, and even win the night. However, the point spread was too much from Friday, and Dexter was crowned the champion. It was an unreal moment, and Dexter received a huge standing ovation that last for quite a long time.

Phil Heath, in his first Mr. Olympia, reached the upper stardom with 3rd place, proving that he isn’t just all talk and no action. Prove he did, prompting some people to say that Phil might even win next year.

Here are the complete results, along with the scores.

Adela Garcia was injured this year, so she didn’t compete, which guaranteed us a new Fitness Olympia winner.  And Jen Hendershott dominated this year, exploding to another win in the year in which we heard retirement rumors from her.  Tracey Greenwood placed second in her best Olympia showing yet, and Kim Scheideler (formally Klein) placed third.

Here is the complete scorecard results of the contest.

Over a favored Gina Aliotti in the hype before the contest, Jenn Gates became the third Figure Olympia champion as she looked absolutely perfect. Jenny Lynn, last year’s winner, came in 4th place, while Zivile Raudoniene looked spectacular in her third place finish.

Here are the complete scorecard results from the Figure Olympia.

There is no stopping Iris Kyle. Once again, she has won the Ms. Olympia contest, and four times out of the last five. It truly was no contest this year. Iris again looked great, and defeated Betty Viana-Adkins, Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia, Lisa Aukland and Dayana Cadeau, in that order. Between second to fifth, the scorecard was extremely close, and the final round did matter, when many say it doesn’t.

Here are the complete scorecard results.
