Best Conditioned NZL Bodybuilders?

[nate225]

Seeing Mark Anderson's photo made me want to ask the question:

Who is / was NZL's best conditioned Bodybuilder?

I ask this question on the basis of "shreddedness" and "vascularity" rather than muscular mass.

Mark Anderson (who also has the mass!) certainly turned heads with his conditioning at the NABBA Worlds last year and would have to rate right up there

Daniel Hibbs on the other hand is less known for his mass, but cames in dialed.

Others on my list would have to be Kevin O'Grady

And Paul Wood (Nelson?) who I remember being absolutely shredded to bits back in late 90's. Anyone got a photo - couldn't find one.

What do you reckon - who would the contenders be?

Super lean and dry athletic competitor Tom Wojcik

The older guys with their muscle maturity take the cake for me.

Phil K and Peter Hunt.

I hope I look half as good as them when I'm 50!

Darryn O at his pro outings! Carved out of wood, just frightening condition.

Mark Rainbow, Mike D, Mike K for consistent always awesome condition. Nate O!!!

Gary Jones back in the day.

For a young guy Steve hits the mark, don't know if the best but right up there!

First name that came to mind was Marc Rainbow

Remember seeing him compete in the Welly pro show years ago. He was shredded, but all the others mentioned well up there.

How much of role do u all think dieretics has in this?

Is it the major thing or more the muscle maturity knowing your body and how to dial it in

[nate225]

Yep all those names should be there!

Steve Orton is definately one to watch - hammies looked like a bunch of ropes last time!!

I did see one name on the list, that an unnamed top BBer told me was rumoured to have had surgical intervention to tighten the skin up?

Wondering how common tummy tucks, liposuction & other cosmetic procedures are at elite level? Never considered them a factor before but with SEO's / collagen / implants etc being used I guess it could be just another angle to get the edge?

Another one of the older guys who always comes in in top shape is Jason Bartley. Not the biggest of guys but always well conditioned and right on the mark on the day.

Couldnt fine any really good pics but you can get bit of an idea from this one of him and his wife.

Mike K needs a mention, when he doesn't spill over! :grin:

I am surprised that Mike K has not been mention until now.I can remember seeing Paul Wood when I attended the NABBA south islands in 2007 he was lean and riped
