Mike Liberatore: 2010 and 2008

What happened to Mike Liberatore at his recent shows? 14th in Phoenix, 9th in Tampa and 8th at the Europa Battle of Champions!

In this clip talking with RxMuscle's Dave Palumbo a day before the 2010 PBW Tampa Pro, weighing in around 229lbs (about 15lbs heavier than his previous show), Mike doesn't really look a whole lot smaller (or less conditioned) than 255lb Ben White (who ultimately won that show):





And then a week later here's Mike in Connecticut:



Mike took 2009 off to gain some size before taking to the pro stage but back at the 2008 NPC National Championships Mike won the heavies and was hence awarded his pro card, tipping the scales at 213lbs at 5'7" and 30 years old:

(Be sure to check out Part 3, when at 5 weeks you can see just how many times, in one interview, The House can say "5 weeks out.")

After taking a break in 2009 Erik started 2010 in good stead with a 5th place finish at the New York Pro in May, but fell to 13th at the Europa Battle of Champions in July (finishing behind Jeff Long and Johnnie Jackson, both of whom he beat in New York).



Back in 2007 Erik won his pro card at the North Americans, just a year after 'appearing' on the scene at the 2006 show (where he placed 4th):
