Cutting, a fitness coach and nutritionist, was the judges\u2019 and crowd\u2019s overall choice and he went on to beat Saipan World Resort gym instructor Alvin Rebong and Jun Riodique in the fourth edition of the annual bodybuilding tournament.<\/p>\n

Cutting, competing as a middleweight, is fresh from a second place finish in the 2015 Guam Fitness National Championships held last September at the Leo Palace in Guam. Rebong and Riodique were listed in the lightweight and welterweight divisions. Cutting also received the Best Abs (abdominal muscles) award.<\/p>\n

Aside from bodybuilding, the Dee Clayton Classic also held competitions in the Figure, Physique, Fitness, and Bikini categories.<\/p>\n

Chomstar Gordon successfully defended her women\u2019s Figure title beating Jennifer Cui in the hotly contested event. Cui settled for the runner-up honors, while singer-turned-fitness buff Joy Trinidad came in at third in her first competition.<\/p>\n

Cui got the better of Gordon in the female Open Fitness category with Catherine Regalado finishing third.<\/p>\n

Enrico Valdez was the men\u2019s overall Physique champion, prevailing against Alberto Roberto and veteran Ben Tabin, who earned the Masters title. Valdez, who was also given the Best Poser special award, won in his two-cornered fight for the men\u2019s Open crown against Roberto.<\/p>\n

In other results, the female Junior Fitness category attracted seven participants with six vying for the Tall Class. Nishi Dubrall topped the Short Class, while Tonya Lizama won the Tall Class title with Zoey Cruz coming in second and Emily Ngeskebei placing third. Kierah Lee, Angela Barbo, and Tawny Ngeskebei finished fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively.<\/p>\n

Jonas Barcinas was the chief judge of the night\u2019s event and was joined by last year\u2019s overall bodybuilding event winner Aaron Tomokane, Olivia Tenorio, and Guam bodybuilder Mike Duay at the judges\u2019 table.<\/p>\n

Barcinas said programs like this promote a healthier lifestyle in the CNMI. \u201cIt\u2019s great to have a healthy lifestyle. We hope more people support and create programs like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tomokane said it was a different feeling being the judge this time compared to competing on stage. \u201cIt feels weird. But I know what these guys went through just to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
