The people of Shiraz welcomed Hadi Choopan at the airport

“He got bigger, that was the first impression from all the judges – that he was bigger than the previous year,” El Guindy said. “In addition to that, Hadi Choopan displayed the same conditioning that he has done in the last couple of years. He was already the best poser, and he poses with a lot of conditioning.”

As for Lunsford, El Guindy explained that the only thing the runner-up needs to take bodybuilding’s world championship is the one thing he needs is more time.
