Victor walked home with 8,000 cash prize and a certificate, while Godfred took 6,000 cedis cash and a certificate. Mustapha got 5,000 cedis with a certificate. Each of the four also received assorted products from sponsors. The final event, which took place at the Jubilee Park in Takoradi, saw hundreds of bodybuilding fans turned up to rally support for their respective contestants. Contestants went through five rounds of activity; Car pull, farmers walk, clin and jerk, deadlift and the sack in a pond race.
