2008 Australian Grand Prix

This 2 DVD set presents the complete event from the Pro pump room through the Pro Contest prejudging and Finals plus the amateur contest and King of the Bench contest to pro stars training in the gym next day. This makes a wild package of 243 minutes of hard-core muscle action spread over 2 packed discs!!

On March 8th the 2008 Australian Grand Prix saw DEXTER "The Blade" JACKSON take his second victory in a row victory at the Australian Grand Prix. 15 top pros took to the stage at the Dallas Brooks Centre, Melbourne's long time spiritual home of bodybuilding. This was Tony Doherty’s 8th staging of the Australian Grand Prix.

Dexter was fresh from his 2nd victory at the Arnold Classic the week before and was in sensational shape. His victory was never in doubt. It was a battle for second place between ultra ripped MOE ELMOUSSAWI of New Zealand and the world’s greatest poser, MELVIN ANTHONY with Melvin narrowly coming out on top. In 4th place it was TONEY FREEMAN with TROY ALVES and RONNY ROCKEL rounding out the top 6.

This was the best quality field seen at the Aussie GP ever with past winner Rockel not able to place higher than 6th this time. All of the top 6 are qualified for the 2008 Olympia. The pose down was one of the longest and best we have ever seen!

The 2 DVD set also includes as Disc #1 the complete 2008 NPFC All Sates Bodybuilding Championships for men and women with the Men’s Open Winner being LOCKIE MAXWELL-WRIGHT. DANIELA O’MARA won the Fitness Class and JAN JOHNSON won the Figure Class and PAUL JAYILAN won the Novice Class. All rounds and awards are included plus the KING OF THE BENCH pro bench press contest.

Over 4 hours of massive muscle entertainment!
