MENS_FINAL_MCGOUGH_GLENN

The Finals for this year’s NPC USA Men’s Bodybuilding Championships staged at the Artemeus W. Ham Hall in Las Vegas saw seven weight class champions out of 163 competitors emerge with pro cards and Darron Glenn take the supreme honor of being crowned overall champion.

Going into the finals only 50% of the marks had been awarded at yesterday’s prejudging, so at 5.00 pm this evening the pro cards were up for grabs. Here’s a notebook reprise of what went down on a dramatic night of bodybuilding.
