Akeim Williams Wins Men’s Bodybuilding Overall at 2012 NPC Eastern USA Championships

Akin to the United States Postal Service, the sport of bodybuilding will not let even severe weather put a dent in its schedule. Yes, Hurricane Sandy and its damage did change the date and location, but the NPC Eastern USA Championships went off without a hitch and had an even tighter feeling of kinship considering what had occurred in the greater New York area.

A few weeks later and a borough away, hundreds of competitors in seven categories took the stage at Queens College the same as they would have if not for the freak storm. None other than the two-time reigning Mr. Olympia Phil Heath was the guest poser and took tons of photos with his adoring fans at his booth in the mini-expo.

There was also the New York Pro Seminar that was headlined by Heath and also included Kevin English, Jon DeLarosa, Juan Morel, Victor Martinez, Guy Cisternino, Fahkri Mubarek and more. As usual, the team of Steve Weinberger and Bev Francis did a fantastic job of promoting, even under the unusual circumstances.
