2013 WPFG Bodybuilding Competition



By Volunteer Megan Joyce

It was muscles galore at the WPFG bodybuilding competition at the Waterfront Hall yesterday evening.

Over 30 athletes from across the world tensed and posed to wow an excitable crowd in the Waterfront studio. Dame Mary Peters attended the showcase as judges from across the bodybuilding association NABBA awarded some of the finest physiques with gold medals. 

Both ladies and men competed in categories for all ages and heights with the majority of participants originating from the USA and Canada. Representatives from India and China performed well and proved the rise of the sport in both countries.

The evening took an unexpected yet memorable turn with one of the winning athletes proposing to his long-term girlfriend of four years. The answer being a resounding yes!

Just as the audience thought the romance was over, a competitor’s girlfriend was called to the stage to propose to her victorious champ. Again, the answer was never doubt.

The standard of entrants in the competition was extremely high with many athletes invited to compete in the Mr. Universe dual schedule in October.

  1. Hey good morning my friends how are you hope you Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to control and develop one's musculature. An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. In competitive amateur and professional bodybuilding, bodybuilders appear in lineups doing specified poses, and later perform individual posing routines, for a panel of judges who rank competitors based on criteria such as symmetry, muscularity, and conditioning. Bodybuilders prepare for competition through a combination of dehydration, fat loss, oils, and tanning (or tanning lotions) which make their muscular definition more distinct. Some well-known bodybuilders include Charles Atlas, Steve Reeves, Reg Park, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Lou Ferrigno. Currently, IFBB professional bodybuilder Phil Heath of the United States holds the title of Mr. Olympia. The winner of the annual Mr. Olympia contest is generally recognized as the world's top professional male bodybuilder.

  2. Bodybuilding supplements are the products that include an unadulterated form of creatine and are generally taken either on the pre or post workout and/or including other supplements like the whey protein.

  3. So is there a certain supplement that I should focus on for muscle growth and recovery from workouts? Should I choose one supplement based on the most important nutrient or should I choose a supplement that contains creatine and glutamine, for instance? I know that protein is important, but is that enough? Or should I choose something that has all the other amino acids?
