Blessing Awodibu speaks out about his Indy Pro performance and looks forward to the NY Pro.
So the Indy Pro didn’t turn out exactly as Blessing Awodibu hoped. In his IFBB Pro League debut, the outspoken bodybuilder took third place. While he was one of the favorites to win the show, that honor belonged to Justin Rodriguez who showed up in impressive shape. Never one to shy away from success or failure, Blessing Awodibu issued a statement on his performance at the Indy Pro and his intentions for the NY Pro.
Many in the bodybuilding community may be cheering that Blessing Awodibu took third place in his IFBB Pro League debut. There are a large contingent of fans who dislike Awodibu’s brash personality and were pleased that he was unable to take first place at the Indy Pro.
It’s certainly a negative mindset to say the least. Celebrating the failure of a competitor capture their goal perhaps isn’t the best use of time. That said, when you talk as much trash as Blessing Awodibu the owness is on him to back it up.
That said, Blessing Awodibu did look pretty impressive in his debut. His legs were far more impressive than many had thought. He came in pretty solid condition, but it wasn’t enough to beat Justin Rodriguez.
Blessing Reacts
Now that the NY Pro looms, Blessing Awodibu had his own thoughts on his performance at the Indy Pro as well as his intentions for the future.
This pic was taken just before tanning but anyway, I just wanna say thank you to everyone for tuning in, think we set a record yesterday for the the live stream ????????????.
Also thank you all for all the love and support, it truly means a lot ????????.
Shoutout to @davebowersproductions @dave_bowers @ifbbindypro for putting together an amazing show .
Yesterday’s show was a try out before the main event – NY pro! Having been away from competing for 4 years, stepping back on stage is extremely hard, to nail peaking and timing.
Yesterday we learned a ton, we messed up pre judging and we knew exactly what went wrong , we tried to fixed things but it was a lil too late. Still we were able to move up in placing.
We will be ready to battle at the NY pro
Stay tuned it’s gonna be epic ???? Big shoutout to @justindifbb he brought it yesterday. Well deserved win but I’ll see you again next week.

It seems that Blessing Awodibu was treating the Indy Pro as a test show. He calls the NY Pro the main event. While some may say this is merely deflection on Awodibu’s part, we won’t know until the NY Pro rolls around.
What do you think of Blessing Awodibu taking third place at the Indy Pro? Do you think he can bounce back at the NY Pro?
