June 19, 2011

The 2nd qualifier of the 2011 season saw the BNBF team back in Scotland to host the annual Scottish Championships. It seems unimaginable that the BNBF could bring competitors to a finer venue than Glasgow�s prestigious S.E.C.C, yet it is an undeniable fact that they did just that. The Perth Concert Hall was the new venue in question, a grand piece of architecture, a modern masterpiece and without doubt the fair city of Perth provided a fitting venue for these championships.

Judges for the day were BNBF Pro�s David Kaye, Davie Hannah, Mark Claxton and Dawn Roberts, accompanied by guest judge Chiper Tennessen and Ultra Masters champion, Eric Dowey. BNBF Pro Kerry Napier assumed the mantle of Head Judge for the day�s proceedings.

Teens - Sponsored by Udo�s Choice Oil

In 1st place was Andrew MacLaughlin. Andrew is an excellent teen competitor, with superb shoulder width and upper body taper. His condition was commendable for that of a teen and he posed well throughout the course of the day. Andrew�s tan could have been a little darker and he should rectify this for the finals. Great potential.

In 2nd was Lewis Walker. Lewis has a nice natural structure with wide shoulders and neat proportions. Lewis could not quite match the winner for muscular development or condition on this occasion.

Taking 3rd was Gareth Soutar. Although one of the smaller competitors on stage, Gareth held his own today with sharp conditioning and good posing. It�s just a matter of time now for Gareth to build that much needed mass.

In 4th was Scott Turnbull. A good amount of muscle presented by Scott today, but just not in the required condition to place any higher.

Juniors - Sponsored by The Picture House Restaurant

In 1st place was Gordon Hunter. Easily the sharpest competitor in class, and when combined with great symmetry took this class convincingly.

In 2nd was Andrew McGee. Andrew possesses a large frame with a good amount of muscle. When positioned next to the winner though was exposed as being a little soft. Andrew should look to get a darker tan for his next outing.

Taking 3rd was Dale Kerr. Dale was one of the most muscular of the class with great symmetry and proportions. On this occasion Dale was just too soft to challenge for the top spot.

Also competing: Tony Adgent, Zahaib Ahmed and Calum McCauley.

Master�s Over 40 - Sponsored by Struan Motors

In 1st place was George Kerr. George was easily the most conditioned of the class and combined this condition with improved muscular fullness. An excellent performance from George who also received the prize for an over 50�s class win.

In 2nd was Tony Wilson. Tony fared well in the symmetry comparison with his wide shoulders and back and tapered upper body. Tony lost out to George today on condition and this was exposed in the muscularity round.

Taking 3rd was Alan Bowater. Reasonable muscularity and balance from Alan, just lacking the required condition to challenge those above him. Alan�s tan was also a little pale.

In 4th was Felix McAlinden. On this occasion, Felix was a good bit down on his usual level of conditioning and his physique lacked any real muscular fullness. Felix would do well to take some time out from competing in order to accumulate the mass required to improve on his placing.

Novice Lightweight - Sponsored by The Body Academy

In 1st place was Duncan MacDougall. Great shape and symmetry presented by Duncan combined with solid conditioning. A clear winner in this class. Duncan also picked up the best wheels award.

In 2nd was Neil Masson. Nice balance from Neil with no obvious weaknesses. Neil just needs to present better conditioning to rival the likes of Duncan.

Taking 3rd Martyn Greene. Arguably the most conditioned of the class, Martyn was unlucky not to grab the runner up spot. Great muscle detail and posing from Martyn.

Also competing: David Hunter, Gordon Moir and Scott Doull.

Novice Heavyweight - Sponsored by The Body Academy

In 1st was Kenny Mowbray. A convincing win for Kenny who simply had the best blend of size, shape and conditioning of this class. Kenny appeared quite tense on stage and should try and relax a little more for the finals.

In 2nd Tomasz Kordas. An aesthetic upper body from Tomasz with sound posing and presentation. Tomasz�s legs were a good bit weaker in comparison and he should aim to improve on this for future outings.

In 3rd was Christopher Sweeny. Nice overall balance from Christopher but just lacking that element of condition to rival those above him.

Also competing: Peter Buschaus, Fabio Bonnano, Greg Thompson.

Special Guest Star - BNBF Pro David Kaye

Dave was in great condition for a guest spot, not quite at the level of his signature shredded condition but he was full and hard with a flowing x shaped physique that all bodybuilders desire. Dave wowed the crowd with a very entertaining routine and strong posing. It�s fair to say he also sent a few female hearts racing with his beautiful skin tone and boyish good looks. Dave is sure to do some damage this year when he makes his debut as a pro and takes the pro classes by storm.

Miss Figure - Sponsored by Marcus Eagleton

In 1st was Linda Roche. A clear winner as soon as this class lined up on stage. Great musculature, tone and condition and clear potential for the finals.

In 2nd was Julie Lambert. Julie was strong in both front and side poses with nice symmetry but was significantly weaker from the rear. Julie should aim to improve on this, particularly back width for future outings.

In 3rd was Sharon McConnell. Sharon really needs to be in better condition to be competitive. She seemed to lack confidence and her posture was a little weak and as such needs to be more positive in her presentation.

Also Competing: Claire Bashford, Amy Hanley, Sharon Magee.

Lightweight Mr - Sponsored by Orchid Cafe

In 1st was Peter MacDougall. Clear improvements from Peter in terms of muscular development, shape and fullness. On this occasion, a little down on the rock hard conditioning he is known for. Nevertheless, a clear win for Peter.

In 2nd was Ryan Caddow. Possibly the best condition Ryan has achieved and was clear in the runner up spot, just lacking in muscularity in comparison to the winner. Ryan didn�t pose to the best of his ability and on this occasion his tan was a little pale.

Taking 3rd was Craig Stewart. Craig was in superb condition for this show and possessed possibly the most detailed legs in the whole show. Craig�s upper body has improved a lot from his last outing but he needs to improve on this further in order to progress.

Also competing: Andrew Williams.

Middleweight Mr - Sponsored by Gracemount Gym

In 1st place was Gordon Greenhorn. Sound overall balance and musculature from Gordon, a convincing class win. Gordon should focus on improving on condition if he is to challenge for top places at the finals.

In 2nd was Graeme Ross. Graeme was the most conditioned competitor in the class, but just lacked the balance and muscle mass of the winner. Nevertheless, continued improvements from Graeme.

Taking 3rd was Greg McLellan. The winner of the best presentation award, as always, entertained with his free posing. Greg still needs to come into the show in better condition if he is to place any higher.

Heavyweight Mr - Sponsored by The Body Academy

In 1st was Gordon Adams. Gordon was by far the most conditioned of the class and took the win convincingly. Huge arms, chest and shoulders saw Gordon walk away the victor in the heavyweight class. A great performance.

In 2nd was Rob Darvill. Rob has a very muscular physique with plenty of mass to spare. On this occasion his condition, although improved from his last outing, still needed to be harder to win the class.

Taking 3rd was Kenny Taylor. Kenny possesses very strong legs and continues to improve on his condition with each outing. Kenny still needs to develop more upper body mass if he is to challenge for top honours in the heavyweight class.

Also competing: Gordon McEvoy.

Miss Physique - Sponsored by Simply Nails

In 1st place was Julia Rayner. Julia was in good condition for this show, this evidenced in her upper body. Julia still needs to develop an extra element of condition in her lower half if she is to challenge for top honours at British level. Well done though Julia on being the sole physique representative at these championships.

Best Female Presentation - Julia Rayner

Best Male Presentation - Greg McLellan

Best Wheels - Duncan MacDougall

Overall Mr - Gordon Adams

It truly was the battle of the heavyweights for the title of Overall Mr Scotland, 2011. From the outset it was clear that the title would be battled out between heavyweight winner Gordon Adams and heavyweight novice champion, Kenny Mowbray. After several rounds of posing and comparisons, the rock hard and muscular physique of Gordon Adams continued to catch the judge�s eye and to his surprise emerged victorious. Gordon Adam � BNBF Mr Scotland, 2011.

Special Thanks

As always a special vote of thanks should be made to those individuals who work tirelessly and without compromise to ensure that each and every BNBF show is as successful as the last. Thank you!
