Tony Hanson, last years champion is looking great during the free posing.
Fluid transitions, great crowd response.
His conditioning is nailed and should easily make the cut for tomorrows final 10

Darren Oran... truelly great calves and heart shape

Gareth Betteley - Free posing was strong, legs trembling throughout though but this is hard to control with cramps and nerves.

Masters O50's up now

Full of respect for these guys who carry on their training/diet in order to compete at the highest level in the UK

27 - Thick and full... nice quad feathers

28 - Well proportioned but a tad flat

34 - looking fantastic with great size, thickness.... conditioning could be a bit dryer though. Nice v-taper

35 - good build, overall balance to his physique

36 - Thick chest but in this tough line up his conditioning lets him down sadly

37 - Very lean, skin on his midsection looks like tracing paper as he poses

38 - Has some good size but his light colouring and conditioning do not show it off to his credit.

39 - A very tall bodybuilder but his upper size doesnt lead this to be a negative issue. Legs could have a bit more outer sweep to balance it out.
Ripped and road map legs with the veins

last years champ Paul Ehren is looking great but being pushed hard by Paul Stannard and Graham Park

its a battle of the giants at the moment with Howard Thomas and Mike Wilson with Paul Ehren playing david between these two goliaths

Pictures are thanks to Eric Guy

Any Graham Park pics??

Micky McKay Personal Trainer Healthy Action www.fitness121.co.uk

Mike Wilson has some awesome conditioning but it lacks on his hams/lower back. His abs look crazy with the veins zig-zagging up and down

Graham Park, good choice of music with metallicas 'unforgiven 2'...drying out as he poses which is good to see as this bodes very well for tomorrow's finals....

Ladies fitness now up!!

Stage hands are mopping the area after the guys have worked up a sweat under these strong spot lights. Having been onstage before i know how hot it can get up there so its no wonder they are taking some safety precautions for the girls before they go out there!!

Over 50s

Fitness Routines - the girls come out now for their routines then back on later for their comparisons

42 Vicki Cale - Glucester

43 Mandy Grant - Southampton

44 Nichola Robinson-Humphries - Darlington

45 Dawn Scholey - Essex

number 42 Vicky Clale- great athletic ability with her back flips and cartwheels!
Gymnastic like control

number 43 Mandy Grant- Varied routine with a range of gymnastic equipment such as the ribbon/ball/hoop... looks like she is wearing a gum shield however?!

Number 44 Nicola Humphries- excellent flexability and energy in her routine. Good slender physique and wouldnt look out of place on any american cheerleading team.

All girls' routines were very good, but Dawn's stands out to me as exceptional, and she has great condition too

Number 45 - Dawn, starts off her routine with a bang with an athletic series of back flips. Great physique, good body control on stage and like Nicola, full of energy.

Paul Stannard Over 50

Inters up to 80kg

48 - Good upper body but needs to bring his legs and arms in balance with his chest.

49 - very wide from the back makes for an awesome v-taper. Legs could be brought up a tad but none the less a good physique.

50 - good build, needs a deeper colour to show off his conditioning better.

51 - Luke is looking great in the line up, decent back thickness. Needs to keep tensing his legs during posing as it sometimes drops off though

52 - thick chest, looking smooth

53 - Decent physique but the depth of this class sadly pushes him to the edges.

54 - Deep colour to his tan and this shows off his good conditioning. Abs/serratus and obliques looking ripped. Legs need to be brought up to complete what is a good package

55- Good build, sick conditioning on the calves!

56- Brillaint legs and conditioning, hints of shredded glutes which will emerge fully tomorrow i can fully expect.

57 - Like 53, a good physique  but needs to be more conditioned to compete with the others. Left some patches on his hams/glutes bare with regards to oil

More Over 50s

luke's drying out more and more as he poses which is great, bicep peak is unreal.
Looking very solid in this line up

Luke Bagster is looking spot on - shredded and great shape.  Could take this category, definitely top 3

Any pics of Steve Ridock (masters over 40) available ? 

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.   Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"

 

Rob Hughes holding his own in this class, free posing showing off more of his great conditioning and midsection.

Jazz Miralles has some good size to him, sadly on his rear poses his heavy acne is a bit of a distraction.

David Kitt starts off strong with a front double biceps showing those shredded legs. Serratus looks like mini feathers along his side as he twists and poses. Strong contestant in this class

Any pics of Steve Ridock (masters over 40) available ? 

Found one

I notice a few MT member girls who are in the Bodyfitness

86 - very slender physique, lean but needs a bit more muscle to comepte with the rest of the class

87 - Thicker set than the rest of the pack but rest assured its muscle. Good routine and obviously enjoys what she does! Could do with a bit more conditioning to really nail things

88 -smoother physique than the other girls, well presented whilst on stage being judged and on the sidelines. Again, some extra conditioning needed to really show her off to her max potential. Decent routine.

89 - great midsection arms and upper back. Glutes need to come in with regards to conditioning compared to the top half as this is the only area that lets her down i feel. Great crowd response

90 - Good physique, tough to place in this line up however.

91 - Looking in good condition but midsection glazes over on front poses.

92 - Balanced physique, a tall competitor with good legs. Routine very vibrant and well put together i felt.

93 - Very lean and conditioned, good stage presence..midsection is nailed

94 - good stage presence, she's done well with her conditioning...

95 -  Smoother than some of the girls, looks a young lady so hopefully she builds on this for future shows.

what time are the big boys due to show guys?

This is excellent coverage....thank you guys!
 
Wish I knew which of the body fitness girls correspond to the numbers........have a couple of friends in the class!
 
Second best seat in the house, here at Bling Mansions with this feed!!! 
 
Waiting for photos......
