Split Decision: Mona gives passerby a glimpse of her sensational bicep development during her shoot.

Mona Muresan is so close to achieving figure success that she can almost taste it…sort of.

Seriously, it’s not everyday you meet a top amateur figure competitor that’s also a major fixture on the New York fine dining scene. But that’s exactly the case with Mona, owner of the regal Nebraska Steakhouse and Lounge located in the heart of Lower Manhattan.

Smiling and bespectacled on the far left of this snapshot, here’s Mona posing with some friends during a recent event at the elegant downtown eatery. Besides being the tallest and having the deepest tan of the healthy and attractive quintuplet, the Romanian-born restaurateur also boasts the most chiseled triceps and well-defined legs in the group.

All of which serves the ambitious, classy brunette quite well in her other vocation as a rising star on the NPC scene. Third in her class at this year’s Atlantic States, the long-haired figure lass was one spot away from seizing a pro card at the most recent North Americans, where she finished second in class E.

Mona was second to none for our cameras over the summer in Cleveland, showing off sharp bicep peaks with striking vascularity and a mix of exotic good looks. If she shows up looking as strong next time, this European hardbody will undoubtedly taste victory on the national stage.

That will make for one great post-show party at the Nebraska.
