With so many athletes competing in the novice and open classes in the men's physique section, we've decided to allocate a page all to them so you don't have to scroll through screeds of other classes to get to the hunks.
In the past year this class has taken off with lots of interest from many athletes as can seen by the interest in this show. We saw 9 athletes in the Novice Men Short, 23 in Novice Men Tall, 4 Open Men Short and 8 Open Men Tall. Hopefully we have captured you all so excuse us one of you maybe missing from the pics below.
With so many great bodies on show, we are not sure how the judges made their decisions as there must've been some very close calls. Generally we see they are looking for athletes with full round and lean muscle which is capped off with a great personality and that X factor...and a great hair style doesn't hurt either.
The Open Men's classes were a great watch and they are showing the novices how they are meant to be looking. Nate, winner of the Open Short and last year's Overall Winner returned with his great physique and that winning smile to take out that class while the Open Tall was a much closer call.
Seasoned hunks Tyrone Bell, Jeremy Tevaga, Jake Campus and Kurt Dell battled it out to see who is the hunkiest of them all. And in that order, the winner and placegetters were named. Tyrone had great condition and leanness to take out the class but it was a great watch for everyone.
We will post up results once we have them from the NZIFBB. Thanks to Moe Moussawi and NZIFBB for involving Go Figure and supporting us so we can bring you the pics of your hardwork!
