The 2013 Perth Natural Classic which was promoted by Australian top figure competitor Sam Attrill. In just the second year of running the show Sam boasted 135 competitors which up a huge increase from the 58 she had the year prior.
Aussie/Greek Mr Olympia competitor Michael Kefalianos started the year off a little rocky not coming in at his very best. He came in with condition that was good, but with Mike we've come to expect a crazy level of conditioning.
Mike came back in the last few shows and his best was his last show at the IFBB Mr Europe Pro which was held over the weekend where he placed 4th, beating out some great competitors including Ronny Rockel & Daniel Toth.
Check out below for pictures & scorecard...

Summer Bernard was the winner of the first pro qualifier at FitX 2011 and therefor was awarded her pro card. Summer has competed at the Australian Grand Prix since, but has yet to take her physique to the U.S. or International stages.
Miss Nutrition sponsored athlete Anne-Marie Lasserre set venture a few short weeks back to compete in her first IFBB Pro show after many years of competing in another federation and doing shows all over Europe. It seems as thought the physique class which was introduced a few years back was made for Anne-Marie, and they go for a more muscular and slightly harder look than the figure class.
Australian IFBB Figure Pro Ellena Reidie was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome in June, 2012, after suffering with fatigue symptoms for many years prior. Ellena was reluctant to come forward and make this news public, as she was unsure what the response might be. She eventually did come forward in October and broke the news through Rx Muscle Australia's "Aussie Muscle Radio" (CLICK HERE to listen to Interview) and her Activewear Online blog.
Today I received some very sad news from multiple sources regarding former IFBB professional bodybuilder Mat Duvall, who apparently was found dead in his bathroom. Matt was only 40 years old. At this point, the cause of his death is a mystery but, as the details come in, we’ll keep the site updated.
Official Competitor List IFBB Pro Grand Prix Men, Figure and Bikini. As of 17th Feb, maybe be subject to change or have competitors added. Each class will also include the IFBB Pro Qualifier winner.
It seems fans of sports worldwide love to sort out and find up and comers, and this is certainly no exception in the bodybuilding realm. Benny Townson is one we've recognised as having some serious potential!
Like him or not Phil Heath, “The Gift,” must be on a mental high right now and deservedly so. Phil has quickly climbed the mountain of success in bodybuilding that few have even approached, and he has done so in an unprecedented fashion. "The Gift" did what many felt impossible at the time by defeating the Goliath of Jay Cutler in a similar fashion to the way Jay did Ronnie in 2006. As someone in his position how could you not feel good about yourself and confident in your status given the circumstances it took to get there, and the fact that you were able to achieved it, it in this case a task only 12 other men have accomplished.
We have seen some great rivalries in sport over the years. Boston Red Sox v. New York Yankees; Duke v. North Carolina; Celtics v. Lakers; Ali v. Frazier; Packers v. Bears; the list goes on and on. In bodybuilding it’s really hard to say that there’s been a rivalry. Arnold, Haney, and Yates certainly didn’t sweat any competitors. And perhaps only in Jay Cutler’s mind was he a real adversary to Ronnie Coleman during The Big Nasty’s reign as #1.
Australian Bodybuilding fans are sometimes a little let down or disappointed by the lack of Australian's that are willing to compete in the Australian Pro Grand Prix which is now the 3rd longest run IFBB Pro Show in the world only behind the Olympia & Arnold Classic contests. I'm excited to say Australian fans won't be disappointed this year with 3 top Australians planning to compete after making it publicly known through either Facebook or training videos.
