On Saturday, the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk hosted some of the most sculpted bodybuilders of the world who showed off their honed physiques and tiny bikinis.

For one day each year, Krasnoyarsk becomes the capital of bodybuilding.

The city is also considered to be a bodybuilding hub, since it hosts the ‘Strongo Cup’, an open amateur bodybuilding and body fitness tournament which is held every winter.

The activity behind the scenes is as much important as posing on stage and in front of the judges.

Many of the contestants are sprayed with fake tanner from head to toe, while make-up artists help bodybuilders to show off their sculptured body.
