Indy Pro 2022 Results
Men’s Open Bodybuilding
The show featured the return of the highly touted Blessing Awodibu who managed to finish third at the Indy Pro last year. This is the show in which Blessing made his debut into Men’s Open bodybuilding. He entered the 2021 New York Pro a week later and competed against former rival Nick Walker. In the end, Walker earned first place, and Blessing landed in sixth. “The Boogeyman” took an extended hiatus as a result to improve his physique to make a statement in the Men’s Open division this year.
Blessing undoubtedly had a challenging task in front of him as he competed against returning 2021 Indy Pro champion Justin Rodriguez and dangerous Charles Griffen who is also making a comeback. Pre-competition, most fans were well aware that Charles, Justin and Blessing have been training and sharing the prep updates non-stop to present a wow factor with the judges. Rodriguez, who took fifth place at the 2022 Arnold Classic, bounced back and secured second at the 2022 Boston Pro show in early March, behind champion William Bonac. In the end Blessing Awodibu won the title, securing their invitation to this year’s Olympia.
