Mike Ergas - New IFBB Pro!

Pro at last!!!

Congratulations to Mike for not only taking 1st in the Heavyweight class at the USA's this past weekend, but for finally receiving his pro card, one of only two awarded that evening (the other going to Super Heavy, and Overall, winner Omar Deckard).

Reportedly close to retiring after being passed over at the 2005 Nationals, Mike was persuaded by friends and industry types to give it another go. Good thing he did since now he can add IFBB Pro Bodybuilder to his impressive resume (which includes his starring turn in A&E’s See Arnold Run).

Mike’s new found pro status does pose a few questions: Will Mike’s somewhat open gaiety harm his chances at profitable sponsorship deals with the big supplement companies? Will he take a year or so off to put on some serious pro-sized mass? Or will he just give up the competitive side of the sport now that he has earned the respect he deserves?

Let’s see what happens next!
