Mr Lincolnshire bodybuilding title countdown starts

Bronzed and buffed men are all set to flex their muscles in Lincoln while aiming to win the crowned Mr Lincolnshire's top bodybuilder competition.

The competitors would be striking a series of poses to show off their muscles in the best light for the show.

From Thisislincolnshire.co.uk:

Kimberly White, who helps run Performance Foods with partner and former Mr Universe runner-up Laurie Carr, said: "During the competition judges will be looking for things such as body symmetry, muscle definition, weight and how well they pose.

"The Mr Lincolnshire event is not in itself a qualifier for bigger events like Mr Universe, but it's a really good place for someone to start getting some experience."

Competitors will be entered into five different categories and asked to strike a series of poses to show off their thighs, gluts, biceps, abdominal muscles and chest. They will also perform a five-minute routine featuring differently flexed poses, they will devise.

And before heading on stage they will be bronzed up in a special tanning solution aimed at showing off the definition of their muscles and will have shaved their entire bodies.

The top bodybuilder competition is set to be held at The Lawn in Union Road, Lincoln, on Saturday, July 30.
