It seems that every day I’m saying that the Men’s Physique Division is growing by leaps and bounds. Today is no different. It is now becoming commonplace to have Men’s Physique Pro shows taking place in multiple locations in the USA simultaneously. This weekend was another such weekend. Just weeks after the 2014 Olympia, IFBB Men’s Physique competitors on both sides of the country and everywhere in between flocked to either coast to start on their chase of the 2015 Olympia stage. On the east side of the US we had the Ft. Lauderdale Cup taking place Florida. In the west the Titan’s Grand Prix was a hit.
The Ft. Lauderdale cup experienced a solid turnout of 22 MP Pros. Matt Acton pulled in the 1st place coming off of a solid 2014 Olympia appearance. The remainder of the Top 5 went to Michael Ferguson, Anton Antipov, Emmanuel Banks and David Herskovitz finishing 2nd, through 5th respectively. Following is the complete list of placings for the Ft. Lauderdale show.
