Ralph Della RoccoRalph Della Rocco of Spencerport announced his retirement from professional bodybuilding after just completing his 36th competitive body building show.
Della Rocco competed in his final show on September 8 at the NPC Elite Physique Championship in Pittsburg, PA. He concluded his career with a big win when he took first place in the Masters Body Building Division. Ralph began competing 10 years ago, after he was inspired by a young GNC Manager Paul Iatomasi Jr. who commented on Ralph’s physique and encouraged him to compete. This then led to his first show which quickly turned into a decade-long passion. The thrill and challenge of learning and perfecting how to completely optimize his physique and achieving the extreme conditioning that is needed to step out on stage motivated Ralph to keep competing. He then went on to help others do the same thing.
Ralph decided to retire after this last competition so that he can better focus his expertise and attention on helping other competitors get into optimum shape. He plans to spend more of his time and focus on helping men and women with their diets, posing, and training to be the best they can be.
Della Rocco retires with several titles: Novice Overall Champion, numerous Open Light weight titles, IDFA and NGA Master Pro Cards, NPC Master Division Champion, and 2nd place NPC National Championship.
