Tampa, Florida, August 8, 2009: "What are the judges looking for?" It's a question that has loomed large for as long as women's bodybuilding events have been contested. And on Saturday night at the Tampa Performing Arts Center, the final results of the Tampa Pro Bodybuilding Championships left scores of fans and the competitors wondering the same thing.
The 2009 IFBB P
BW Tamp Pro Under-202 class was perhaps the best 202 class 
I've seen this season. It was dominated right from the get-go by a confident David Henry (FULL CONTEST PHOTO GALLERY). He looked so ungodly, massive, and in such great condition that he could have had his trophy sent to him in the mail and not even bothered showing up. He looked like someone had taken a 2004 caliber Ronnie Coleman and hit him over the head with a big mallet to knock a half a foot of height out of him (while giving him better abs in the process). Henry looked thick, dense, and incredibly detailed well beyond the paltry weight limit. Standing alone he looked like he weighed 240, not 202. Have I gotten my point across yet? Seeing David Henry tonight was a treat any bodybuilding fan will take home and remember for years to come. Yes, he as that good; and I mean that in the most un-schmoey way imaginable.
The test results are in! The long wait is over and we finally have the official word from Quest Diagnostics on the matter of Kevin Levrone's urine and what metabolites it may contain. Of course Kevin claims he's "clean"; however, based on what's at stake, he's still decidedly nervous. Dave Palumbo so adamantly doubted his old friend's word that he, actually, had RX Muscle pay for the drug test!
Benjamin Loehrer won the light heavyweight class and overall at the NPC Teen Nationals this past weekend. It was a great victory; he was massive, ripped, and dominated the competition. And I'm sure he has a bright future in bodybuilding. There's only one problem-- he's not a teen. On the day of the show, July 18th, 2009, he was 20 years old.

There has been a lot of buzz about Rx Muscle's Megalympia. Some have fought hard to drum up support for their favorite champions. Others have been disgusted to see their pick lose and cry out to the gods of Vengeance for retribution on the accursed forum members that didn't see things their way. Most of all, it's been fun and people have gotten a chance to share their view of the pro side of the sport and do some color commentary.
