A Preview:

What a weekend it was! The Musclemania World Championships brought more than 400 competitors from all across the globe to participate in what surely is one of the greatest spectacles in the bodybuilding world.

Naturally, photographers from all over swarmed through the scene, snapping away as fast as they could schedule shooting appointments. In this preview, and in coming features, you'll see some of our results.

The only other competition we can think of that approaches the World Championships is the Miami Superbody. If you live within striking distance of either Los Angeles or Miami and are a fan of natural bodybuilding, you owe it to yourself to attend one of these events.

To see a preview of this year's Los Angeles event, go here.
