Looking back at big Steve one day out from the 2010 NPC Nationals where he placed 3rd in the super heavies. Steve is looking for a win at the 2011 USA in a couple of weeks and hoping to earn an IFBB pro card in the process.
Mike last competed at the 2009 Europa Supershow (pix above), where he placed 11th in the 202 class. Two years prior, at the 2007 Europa, he was 15th in the open division. Those were his only pro competitions.
He earned his pro card at the 2006 USA by winning the heavyweights (and then being awarded one of the two pro cards), but he probably should have earned it at the 2005 Nationals, where he lost his class (and pro card) to Jonathan Rowe (who?).
