Men’s Physique Winner — Vitor Chaves
Chaves scored his first pro win of the 2023 season with straight first-place votes. He was also the 2022 champion of this contest — both of his career pro wins. Chaves will shift focus to the 2023 Olympia, where he will aim to improve from his 13th place finish from 2022.
Second Place — Steven Cao
This was Cao’s first appearance of the 2023 season. He’s a seventh-year pro that has two wins to his credit. His most recent was the 2022 Mile High Pro, which qualified him for the Olympia that season.
Cao finished the contest out of the top 15. He didn’t win at this contest, but proved that he is a contender for the gold in any show he enters. He will have compete again and win a pro show to enter the 2023 Olympia, as only pro show winners qualify in 2023.
Third Place — Juan Manuel Gochez
Gochez had competed three times in the 2023 season. He was fifth at the 2023 New York Pro and sixth at the 2023 Miami Muscle Beach Pro. This was his highest finish so far in 2023, and his first podium placement.

Acosta has competed four times in the 2023 season. This is her second runner-up finish following his silver rank at the 2023 Charlotte Pro. The second-year pro still seeks her first pro win and Olympia qualification.

Prior to the 2023 season, Grier had finished no higher than fifth. This was her third show of 2023, and she has finished no lower than fourth.
