T-Nation’s Kiyoshi Moody won the light heavyweight class!
T-Nation’s Jelena Abbou is a knockout!
Tim Martin won the overall bodybuilding show.
In all, it was an entertaining show, albeit a long one - 7 hours - with the bodybuilding, figure, and fitness contests.
Honorable mention:
Desmond Miller was in the audience. Believe me when I tell you folks, you simply do not know how big some of these pros are during the offseason until you are standing right next to them!
Very cool. Physique aside, Kiyoshi seems a gentleman, and I’m genuinely glad when good people have good fortune (not to say he doesn’t work his ass off for it!)
I knew the overall would go to either Tim or Kiyoshi before they announced. However, Tim did look more physically omposing, if that makes any sense. All looked great.
And yes, Jeff Rodriguez was shredded.
I don’t know how these judges do it. When everyone is up there and looking great, who the heck do you pick?
I’m not trying to be picky but even though Tim had some crazy glutes, his calves don’t look up to par with the rest of his body. Size tends to overshadow symmetry/aesthetics though.

You don’t need calves in the NPC/IFBB for some reason.
Yeah, but the rest of Haney’s physique (especially his back) was just so damn dominant at the time that there was no way to justify anyone else winning.
