Pro/Am Contests Blog

The 25th Anniversary of the Paradise Cup Bodybuilding and Figure Championships took place last Saturday, 11/22/2008 at the Sheraton Waikiki in Honolulu Hawaii.

Promoters Guy Leong and Greg Leffcourt hosted an awesome competition with over 110 athletes – the most competitors in the history of the show!

Steve Preza was the heavyweight and overall winner for the Men’s Bodybuilding and Sarah Nakajima won the figure short and overall – look for both of these competitors to make an impact on the national level in the not too distant future!

Branch Warren, Quincy Taylor and local IFBB pro Clifton “Giant Killah” Torres were the guest posers at the sold-out event.

A huge thank you to Photography by Aaron Myer for the pictures.
