One thing we could all use now is some good, uplifting news – about bodybuilding or anything else, for that matter. That’s one reason we put Blessing Awodibu on the cover of this month’s MD. Sure, his videos have gone viral, with YouTube views in the millions. While many bodybuilders become Internet sensations, Blessing has much more to offer. He’s a larger-than-life, entertaining personality known in part for being fed bananas by chimps and terrorizing gym mates in a horse mask. “I’m a positive guy and I love sharing positive energy,” he tells MD. “And everybody loves a good laugh!” To say that Blessing is not your average bodybuilder would be an understatement. He’s a young man with serious potential to do damage in the pro ranks with his combination of size, shape, a tiny waist, and muscle density. Meet this Redcon1 athlete on the rise in “Blessing In Disguise - Blessing Awodibu – The Boogieman Waiting to Make His Pro Debut.”
