The 2006 USA's

Posted in: Superfeature Articles, Articles by ProSource | Feb 21, 2006

In the lead-up to the 2006 USA titles, the overall winner had been predicted as if it were set in stone. Indeed, if Jerome Ferguson could have shown up on a sphinx and been tanned in gold, no one would have disputed the unconventional props. Instead the show turned out to be as unpredictable as a "Days Of Our Lives" episode with an unsuspecting Ferguson being bullied out of the top 3 by the muscle mutations of Omar Deckard, Leo Ingram and Robert Hatch. Omar had a grip as tight as Coleman's grasp on the Olympia crown, whilst Leo Ingram was so large his physique will have to seek planning permission if it continues this construction. Both physiques were like apples and oranges. The judges' decision went to Omar who displayed cuts and lines upon his much improved mantel of muscle that had cover model potential, whilst Leo's second position dominated areas with mass and full-bellied thickness that came out at you like an Imax theatre with intention to intimidate.

The heavyweight class featured a close battle between "Mighty" Mike Ergas and "L train" Lional Brown, who were throwing muscle missiles at each other that had the crowd bouncing glances at both like a Wimbledon final. Lional had come down from the supers to the heavies looking huge and in great shape. His back had canyon-deep crevices and his arms were amongst the best in the show. Although his legs were cut, they lacked the sweep needed to flow from the ravines of the upper body to the lower and this is where Mike pounced on his counter attack. No visible weaknesses on Ergas were noted with the exception that his condition was slightly off in comparison to his 2005 controversial second placing at the nationals and the lack of tan that washed him out on the prejudging evening. Mike competes with a complete package -- great symmetry, plus a flawless display of posing expertise and size that intimidated any challenges to pole position. When Mike and Omar were both awarded their invites into the Pro ranks, an emotional Ergas cried uncontrollably in relief and happiness. It had been a long time coming and well deserved.
