us today is Emmanuel Omoniyi. Congrats on some great showings on the stage! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I have been doing a lot of weight training for years now, however due to my lean body type (ectomorph). I could not see myself competing in the NPC until Men's Physique was introduced.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
My last show was Eastern's 2012 in Queen's College in New York City. I managed to place 11th out of 34 outstanding competitors.
How did you feel after pre-judging?
I felt the judges made the right call outs, men's physique is getting bigger and we are seeing more incredible physiques on a daily basis.
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
I felt the results were fair, I felt Judges seem to lean towards competitors with more mass as oppose to leaner competitors.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
I think the men's physique division is a great addition to the bodybuilding world and gives more people the opportunity to compete.
