More than 170 MP Competitors took the stage at the USA's this year in Vegas with their eye on earning an IFBB Pro card. Keep in mind that there are no Masters classes at the USA's, only Open. This means that there are a ton of guys to be spread over six heigth classes and only one age class. When it was all said and done, 12 men placed well enough to earn their cards.

The Masters Nationals experienced an incredible turnout. The IFBB awarded a high number of MP PRO cards (19) at this show, making many of these men's dreams come true. To earn a card at this show one had to pull off a first or second place in their respective height & age category. Nearly 70 Men's Physique men stepped on stage in the 35+ age group alone, while more than 50 stepped up in the 40+ groups. Following are your pro card winners and complete results, but first a quick word from one of the IFBB Pro's on site:
"Masters Men's Physique is no longer "old dudes in board shorts." I was thrilled to return to the event where my pro career began. But, I was not prepared to see how well conditioned, poised and charismatic the field of Masters MP came in this year. Not only have the competitors matured, but so has the division as a whole, which was reflected in the all around professionalism of the competitors and the focused energy they brought to Pittsburgh. Well done!"
-Michael Anderson
