2012 IFBB/NPC Governors Cup Results

The First ever IFBB/NPC California Governor's Cup was a huge success. Prejudging was near capacity and the finals sold out well in advance of the show. This show included the first ever Men's Pro Physique competition along with Pro Women's Physique and Pro Figure. The NPC event featured over 200 athletes and ran smoothly considering the enormity of the event.

First time competitor Cristian got a true taste of what happens when you follow your coaches program and your coach is Austen DiPirro. He came into the 2012 Governors Cup not only as lean as he has ever been in his life, but leaner than just about everyone else in that show.

I have seen Bret from the beginning of his competitive bodybuilding career since it actually started the same day as mine at the 2009 Fresno. In 2010 he took the Novice Overall at the NPC Sac Show and is on the constant path to progress from here on out.
