John Hodgson's Last Pose Down?

possibly the last John Hodgson pose down?

words from the big man him self:

As of Today I announce my official RETIREMENT from competitive Bodybuilding. I want to bow out on a high and feel I did this at the BGP. There will be a film footage of my reasons soon and will be up by next week. It will be quite an emmotional one as I will explain my reasons fullyand there are a number of reasons. I should be excited about doing the Mr Olympia but I feel the BGP was an ideal way to go out coming second the Great James"Flex"Lewis and everyone saying its the best I have ever looked and at 42 thats good enough for me.

I will not be walking away from the sport as I have a supplement project under way and will concentrate on help prep people etc!! Hey theres none better at getting into condition than me eh!!

Its time to move on and seek happiness outside of competing and focus on my personal happiness.

Thank you everyone for your support and kind words.

John Hodgson
