MEN’S PHYSIQUE
The contest is the second Men’s Physique of the season, and the lineup is loaded. All four of the top four from the Governor’s Cup – the first-ever IFBB Pro League Men’s Physique competition – will be on hand in LA. Matt Christainer, who also won the division’s first pro card at last year’s Junior USAs, won that event. Alex Carniero (2nd), Miguel Aguilar (3rdp) and Bobby Ashurst (4th) also fared well in the Governor’s Cup.
WOMEN’S PHYSIQUE
The Women’s Physique division features the winners of two of the division’s three IFBB contests so far this year. Karina Nascimento won the division’s first pro contest, the Phoenix Pro on February 25. Sara Hurrle won her pro physique debut in St. Louis on March 17, then followed that up with a runner-up finish at the Governor’s Cup on March 24.
