Philip Ricardo Legends International 

Philip Ricardo Jr. hosts Philip Ricardo Legends International. For decades, he has been an INBA PNBA natural bodybuilder, and he’s a 4x Natural Olympia champion. Ricardo Jr. is promoting the event, and it’s his eight-year hosting it – since 2014. It’s a Pro/Am (professional and amateur) show. 

Ricardo Jr. says this year will be a good turnout since many top natural bodybuilding competitors will be there, including Rebekah Rasmussen – 2021 Natural Olympia Bikini Divas Masters and Bikini Divas Ms. America champion. 

2021 Natural Olympia Classic Physique champ Derek Joe will be a judge. And also, 2021 Natural Olympia Sports Model champ Danielle Bouldin will be a judge, and her husband, Anthony Bouldin, will be the head judge. 

Below is a GI exclusive interview of Philip Ricard Jr. In the interview, he gives a brief overview of the 2022 INBA PNBA Philip Ricardo Legends International competition.
