PRO PAN AFRICA 2017 27

COMPETITORS FINALLY ABLE TO ENJOY DOWN TIME

FINALLY TIME TO RELAX: Now that competition is over, 3rd place finisher Snake Assombo and 1st place Joff Ballo can go back to being "bros" and not hardcore rivals. Here they spend some time in the VIP room with a few fans at the Cumblast™ sponsored after party. 

The focus and dedication it takes to be a pro Naked Bodybuilder are second to none. After months, or even years of practice, preparation and training, a few short days of competition become the time that an Alpha male can prove his status and show that he is truly worthy of world-wide praise. It can be an intense and lonely process right up to the final performance.

IFNB professional shows though have plenty of other action going on around them besides the on stage competition, including Expos, promotional events, classes and parties.  For the most part, however, these secondary happenings  have nothing to do with the competitors who are completely focused on their performance, and are meant for the attendees, corporate sponsors, local hosts and general NBB hanger-on-ers. However once the competition finally wraps the bodybuilders are often ready to party and finally let off some steam.

The final official wrap party for the Pan-Africa, held by show sponsor Cumblast™, was attended by many of the competitors who were finally ready to let loose and have some fun. "I have been so focused on the Pan-Africa that I haven't been out in months," says overall winner Joff Ballo. "It feels so good to just go out and relax with friends after these grueling past few days."

Ballo attended with close friend and heavyweight competition John "Snake" Assombo. "It's great to finally get to be out and getting the respect we deserve," says Assombo. "After spending all our time backstage jockeying with other Alphas and dominating the NBA bitches, it's cool to hangout with regular fans and just unwind.  Sure they all want a piece of this, but who wouldn't?" he asks, gesturing to his hard log of a cock.

"Everyone wants an 'autograph' shot from my dick!" Ballo says with a laugh.  "I guess I should enjoy it while I can, since the next competition will come up soon enough."
