“Bodybuilders are usually portrayed in bad light as landguards, robbers and street fighters so we hope to use this competition to give them a good image,” Michael Adonis Ahorlu, Marketing and Project Organiser at TV3 explained.

“Hopefully we churn them out to do decent jobs like bodyguards to politicians, physical training instructors and generally to be disciplined in whatever endeavour they find themselves,” Mr. Ahorlu added.
