The return of Kevin Levrone

This year saw the return Kevin Levrone, who was born in 1965, after an an absence of 13 years.

Now over 50 and still a bodybuilding legend, he was eagerly awaited by thousands of fans.

Unfortunately Kevin Levrone didn't achieve the best results, not least because he was in competition with much younger athletes.

Vince Phil Heath

Phil Heath won for the sixth consecutive time, with an improved physique in comparison to the previous year, which was more defined and perhaps had more muscle mass.

Along with the trophy, Phil Heath took home the prize worth $ 400,000.

Shawn Rhoden came second, and displayed good muscle definition and symmetry, but with muscle mass that didn't give the winner much to worry about.

Dexter Jackson came in 3rd place, a good result given he is now 46 years old.

Fourth place went to the huge Big Ramy (Mamdouh Elssbiay), whose physique was massive but not as defined as the competitors ahead of him on the podium.
