2007 IFBB Shawn Ray Colorado Pro Bodybuilding/Figure Contest Results

This past weekend I was able to see the 2007 IFBB Shawn Ray Colorado Pro Bodybuilding Contest through the webcast provided by Bodybuilding.com. It was a pleasent surprise to see that the athletes who were rewarded were the ones who consistently come in top shape and are symmetrical but typically do not make top placings as they lack the size that seems to be rewarded at professional shows these days. Hopefully this is a trend that will be mirrored by other pro shows as, in my opinion, bodybuilding should not only be about sheer size. Symmetry, classic proportions, muscularity and definition are also very important traits that do not seem to be valued as much as they should in some pro shows.

Another aspect that I enjoyed from the show was the fact that most athletes had very entertaining routines. For example, Kai Green, Darrem Charles and Tricky Jackson dazzled everyone with their amazing skill and grace on stage as they posed to various tunes.
