Curry lived up to his billing as one of the pre-tournament favourites in the absence of 2018 championShawn Rhoden and seven-time winner Phil Heath.

The American followed up his win at the Arnold Classic USA in March with another impressive display and was a cut above the rest when it came to physique, conditioning and symmetry.
