The results are in on a stacked MP Pro class at the 2014 NY PRO. There were many familiar faces and physiques taking the stage as well as a number of gents newer to the pro ranks.
What a weekend in the IFBB for the Men's Physique Division. Nearly 40 IFBB MP Pro's hit the stage looking to take home the big prize of first place and an automatic bid to compete on the Olympia stage. When the dust had settled, Jason Poston walked away with that much coveted 1st place. Michael Anderson grabbed second while Denis Gusev snagged third. Here are the official results from a hard fought battle in Dallas this weekend at the Europa Supershow.
This
weekend marked the second largest turnout of IFBB Men's Physique Pro's on a single stage. Thirty four of the top physiques in the world took to the boards under the lights with the goal of earning the title "IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Men's Physique Champion."
While working to defend his 2013 title this year, Mark Anthony Wingson, had a ton of incredible competition. Looking at the line-up from top to bottom, there are no weak physiques. All of the men that showed up had the potential to place very well. That said, those that were knocking at the door and most noticeably threating to take the crown were Jason Poston and Michael Anderson whom both came into the show in incredible shape and with impeccable conditioning.
In the end, Mark Anthony was able to defend his title. Jason Poston and Michael Anderson finished second and third respectively while Anton Antipov and Tyler Anderson grabbed fourth and fifth to round out the top five.
What a huge weekend for Men’s Physique! This past weekend the most ever MP Pro’s took the stage on the same day. With pro shows on both coasts and fully stocked stages at each, 70+ IFBB MP Pros in total put on the shorts in hopes of earning their way into to the 2014 Olympia. The stages and stands were packed to the gills. When the dust settled, familiar names in the industry Jason Poston and Tyler Anderson took the titles at the Europa Show of Champions and the Grand Prix LA. Additionally at the Grand Prix they held a 40+ Pro division. Willie Spencer took that win. Following are the results for the Europa and Grand Prix.
The sad truth about getting older is that it becomes more and more difficult to hold onto the plentiful lean muscle mass and low body fat we tend to take for granted during our younger years. An inevitable consequence of growing older is the increasing struggle to maintain lean muscle mass as the years pass. Even if you have been blessed with a genetic propensity for the optimal balance of lean tissue and body fat, be prepared to work harder over time to keep what you have. This also means that master’s competitors usually have to train harder to build muscle mass, and are also more sensitive to dietary fluctuations and digressions than their younger counterparts.
Those 
of you who insist on burning the midnight oil and carving into time during which you should be sleeping are doing yourselves a disservice. When you build up a sleep deficit, not only do you adversely affect your attention and overall energy, you also diminish the potential muscle gains you would obtain if you consistently got a good night’s rest...
Several
years ago there was a very popular medication being marketed on TV. The commercial’s introduction made the following declaration:
“You know when you feel the weight of sadness. You may feel exhausted, hopeless and anxious. Whatever you do, you feel lonely and don’t enjoy the things that you once loved.”
This commercial described the feelings of sadness that affects people suffering from depression, but could just as easily describe the effects of trans fats on the human body. New research from Spain reveals that trans fats could be the root cause of depression in some people...
