2009 Iron Man Pro Bodybuilding DVD Review
THE 20TH ANNUAL IRON MAN PRO! HISTORIC EVENT - Click Here to Order
 This annual Californian Pro event was held, along with the LA FIT EXPO, in the Los Angeles Convention Center on January 24th.
The show opened with Lonnie Teper’s tribute to the winners of the Iron Man contests over the past 19 years as a prelude to this the 20th year of the event. The past winners who were present were then presented on stage such as Shawn Ray, Chris Cormier, Flex Wheeler, Jay Cutler, Dexter Jackson and Phil Heath. This was a special moment for a group photograph with contest promoter John Balik.
There were 28 competitors from 14 countries making this an extremely even lineup. The top five were as follows:
1. Silvio Samuel - Spain
2. Moe Elmoussawi - NZ
3. Ronny Rockel - Germany
4. Hidetada Yamagishi - Japan
5. Ahmad Haidar - Lebanon
All five are eligible to compete in the 2009 Mr. Olympia contest.
Not surprisingly the lighting by Mike Neveux and his crew was outstanding. It is always the best contest stage lighting I see at any event each year.
These top 5 champions were all in superb condition, hard and shredded.
This 3 hour dual layer DVD includes all the highlights from Prejudging through to posing by all competitors at the Finals, plus the awards. Also includes the Special Presentation to John Balik.
