I went along to this show to help support my brother with his first ever bodybuilding show held in Dunstable.
My brother Chris is a natural bodybuilder who is using this show to gain some experience on stage and has come at a perfect time, only a few weeks from his show in St Albans.
The show has been designed to give all first time bodybuilders a chance to diet down and step on stage and see if they have what it takes to compete in bodybuilding. Chris's category was under 5"8 with an open weight class, so we expected there to be some big lumps. overall I was very impressed with the show which was held at The Grove Theatre, all staff were very helpful making sure everybody knew what they were doing, helping with tans and general keeping things together.
The day didn't start to brightly though, he forgot his trunks and we had to wait until 15 minutes before he went on stage to get them thanks to a good friend who was coming to watch. Also is was raining so some of the tan had streaked around his legs, not what you want on your first time competing.
Anyway we sorted his tan sprayed on some oil and pumped himself up ready to step on stage. There were four in his class and all were bigger than Chris but I knew he would kill them all with his legs. Even Eddie Abbew has said he reminds him of an early Flex Lewis and nobody can believe he is a natural.
He looked great on stage and looked calm and ended up finishing second to a guy who also looked great but had a good 6kg on Chris. The only other downfall is that his music didn't work but it didn't matter, now hopefully he will come back with a 1st place in a few weeks.
Here is the video but it is sideways sorry....
