Justin Trollope finally wins NABBA Mr Britain! With arms the size of baby elephants, the Welsh monster out-muscled all comers to snatch the Class 3 and then the Overall Mr Britain titles. In the overall posedown he trounced three top-line winners: Short class boss Ian Sturrock, Class 2 star Andrew James and shredded Tall class man Russell Freakley. It was apparent his years of determined effort had paid off, when he knocked over the amazing Jo Walker and Rob Clapham in his class. It’s good to be ripped of course, but it’s even better to be ripped AND built like an angry bull! I wonder if Justin’s heading for the NABBA Universe this year? That should give Johnny Foreigner something to worry about.

The goal is to get your back so wide that when you walk on the beach, you are the only one getting a suntan.Read more
