Mr. & Mrs. Gimpo Bodybuilding Competition 22nd April 2012

This weekend I attended, for the first time, a bodybuilding competition.
It was... impossible to get any information about this event in English so unfortunately I couldn't tell you about it in advance... but not to worry if you are interested in attending a bodybuilding event in the future in Seoul I can give you some more dates from naturalbodybuildingevents.com so look out for the info and links down below.

Mr. and Mrs. Gimpo Bodybulding Competition was pretty interesting. I was impressed by the quality of the competitors and the size of some of the guys was pretty big too. Not quite the size of a Ronnie Coleman or a Jay Cutler but around 90kg+ so not small.

Korea still has a certain level of conservatism especially when it comes to women bodybuilders and fitness models as was evident with only 2 fitness models competing and 6 female bodybuilders with 1 pro... so come on Korean women get out there and pump up! :)

There were a lot of male competitors ranging from beginner, amateur to pro looking with some good preparation displayed by the competitors. You could pick the finalists just by looking at them and some competitors far outclassed their rivals with some good cutting and water reduction before the competition allowing them to display good muscle striations.

So a couple of upcoming events for bodybuilding in Seoul:
