Bigman Weekend Pro 2018 - results

The IFBB Jim Manion Professional League has prepared the Bigman Weekend Pro 2018 for Saturday, July 21, hosted by the Spanish city of Benidorm. The opportunity to compete in the first edition of this event was given to the heavyweights in the OPEN category.

There were fourteen competitors on the podium, including Slovakian representative Igor Illes, who won his pro card just before the competition thanks to his absolute triumph at the Bigman Weekend Amateur.

The biggest favourite in this rather poorly cast event was Canadian Iain Valliere, but as it turned out, Igor was more than a match for him!
Both appeared immediately in the first semi-final comparison, where Roman Fritz, Andrea Muzi and Mohamed Shaaban posed with them. Igor posed in the middle of the row at the beginning, where he was then replaced by Iain.

Valliere, Fritz and Illés met each other once more, in the final comparison, and it was clear that the three of them would share the medal positions.

In the end, as expected, Iain Valliere was really happy with the victory, presenting a very good final preparedness on the podium. His strengths included broad shoulders. His weakness was his posing, which certainly does not belong on a professional stage.

A great second place in his professional debut went to Igor Illés! The Slovakian also offered excellent form, and besides that also quite decent volumes.

Third place went to Roman Fritz, who lagged behind the first two especially with his volumes.

Fourth place was taken by Italian Andrea Muzi, for whom, like Igor, it was his first start among the elite. Muzi stood out especially during the frontal positions, which showed many details.

The last place in the Top 5 was taken by another newcomer Mohamed Shaaban, whose main asset was his powerful thighs.
