The 58th Annual Rochester Classic Men’s Bodybuilding overall was won by Heavyweight Dan DeGeorge, who was in absolutely shredded condition in a tightly contested class. DeGeorge has competed in the last several Rochester championships, and won the overall after many years of competing. Rhonda Rotterman-Palmieri won the Women’s Bodybuilding overall title for the second consecutive week. Rotterman-Palmieri also won the overall at the NPC Buffalo Championships a week ago. The event also included a bench press competition that always draws additional fans to the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
