Muscle Contest 212 Pro Show
Muscle Contest Ireland 212 Pro and Pro Qualifier finally has returned to Limerick after two years absence in Ifbb Pro calendar.
Competition took place on Sunday, May 15 unfortunately on the same time there was other 212 Pro show held in States – INDY PRO resulted in having only four professionals on stage (along with the still slights uncertainty among the Pros since that show was previously being postponed/cancelled 3 times some other chose skipping this one and prepping for Portugal).
The competing pros were Robert Taylor, David Henry as well as Italians Pasquale D’Angelo and Giuseppe Zagarella. Fairly quickly Rob and David got separated as two fighting for a top spot. David Henry, in his prime would have been consider straight winner, but now forty-five year old has the best year behind him, on other hand we had thirty five year old Rob who had a go at the two Open shows last year in Spain and Italy but decided to drop down to 212`s and do the show he initially considered as Pro Debut in 2020. Robert brought granite condition and was successful in the eyes of the judges against former Mr Olympia.
The Italians Pasquale D’Angelo and Giuseppe Zagarella were left fighting for third place. Better was Pasquale, last year eleventh at the Olympia 2021 he surpassed team Romano colleague Giuseppe, who previously competed successfully in classical physique.
