VINCENT FIORE – Overall and Class A Winner
Age 24
Height 5’6 1/2
Weight 163
Contest History/Highlights Bev Francis Atlantic States 2nd Class A; Team Universe 3rd Class A; USA Championships 5th Class A
Judge’s Comments A good-looking kid with nice shape. He’ll need more size in the pros because he’s one of the smaller guys. He’ll need a little more cap on his delts and a little more width on his back, but he has real good shape and skin tone.”
STEVEN MASS – 2nd Class A
Age 27
Height 5’6
Weight 160
Contest History/Highlights 2012: Lone Star Classic 5th; Europa Super Show 3rd Class A
Judge’s Comments “Very good conditioning, a very good overall look. Needs to work on his presentation and posing – he looks a little too tight, he could loosen up a little bit. On his back pose, he could let his back hang out a little more and that would show more of that v-taper.”
SEAN HARLEY – Class B Winner
Age 33
Height 5’8 1/2
Weight 180
Contest History/Highlights 2012: Arnold Amateur Class B DNP; MuscleContest.com Championships Class C DNP; Midwest Championships 2nd Class B
Judge’s Comments “Great shape, really good conditioning. He has to watch it – he’s right one the line of being almost a bodybuilder from the front. He can’t put on any more muscle.”
LUKE BOEHM – 2nd Class B
Age 24
Height 5’9
Weight 166
Contest History/Highlights 2012: Pittsburgh Championships 1st Class B and Overall; North Americans 4th Class A

Height 5’8 1/4
Weight 165
Contest History/Highlights 2012: Junior USAs 3rd Class B; Junior Nationals 5th Class B; 2011: Western Regional 2nd Class B

Judge’s Comments “A good-looking kid with nice shape. Another one who could present his back a little better. A lot of these guys aren’t opening up their backs by rolling their shoulders back. Stands a little too tight, another one that could work on his presentation and loosen up a little bit.”

Weight 195

Age 33
Height 6’1
Weight 180
Contest History/Highlights 2012: San Francisco Championships 1st Class D and Overall
Judge’s Comments “He’s right on the border of being too muscular, especially the delts and arms. He’s a little narrow so he could use a little more width, but he has a small waist so it’s not that glaring.”
OTHER PRO CARD WINNERS
COLIN WASIAK – Class E Winner
Judge’s Comments “Looks good from the back – from the front, he could bring his chest up. His chest looks a little flat, I would like to see a little more fullness. Overall he’s very close to the border as far as being too muscular.”
RUSSEL WAHEED – Class F Winner
Judge’s Comments “He’s got to watch it as far as his level of muscularity, he’s close to being a bodybuilder. His shoulders and arms could come down a little bit. From the back, he could be tighter and that could take care of his size problem. Overall, a nice look with great shape”
