2009 NPC USA – three men will turn pro this year
Contests / February 18, 2009

For the last few years, only the top two men out of all the classes turned pro with the IFBB. This year, the NPC has added one additional slot for a person to turn pro. So instead of two, three competitors that has won their class will turn pro. Also, the Bikini division has been added to this years show, with each of the class winners turning pro (six total).  Add 2 pro cards for Women’s Bodybuilding, and 6 pro cards from Figure, and that makes a total of 17 new IFBB Pros come the end of the July. For those of you that wish to compete or attend, the event will be held on July 24-29 in Las Vegas, Nevada.  For complete event information go to www.musclecontest.com.
