2024 Pittsburgh Pro Guest Posing Highlights.
The 2024 Pittsburgh Pro was another exciting event organized by NPC and Pro League President Jim Manion.
The event had a great lineup of athletes fighting for their 2024 Olympia qualification. Traditionally at the Pittsburgh Pro, there is a high-profile lineup of guest posers, and this year was no exception.
The top athletes that made it to Pittsburgh are Mr. Olympia Derek Lunsford, Nick Walker, Hunter Labrada, Samson Dauda, Martin Fitzwater Andrew Jacked, Urs Kalecinski, and finally Ramon Queiroz.
All eyes were on Nick Walker, who was expected to be in the best condition, considering he will be competing at the 2024 New York Pro just a week later.
As usual, Nick presented a physique with incredible size and condition, he will be the favourite to win the New York Pro and earn his 2024 Mr. Olympia qualification, but not without a fight.
Another athlete, who has already qualified for the 2024 Mr. Olympia is Martin Fitzwater. Martin has made some great improvements, and he will also be competing in New York. Martin will definitely challenge Walker for the New York Pro title.
Andrew Jacked and Hunter Labrada also looked great during this stage of the season. Hunter appears to have added more size to his frame, and it will be exciting to see him on the Mr. Olympia stage if he qualifies.
As expected, Andrew Jacked was the biggest athlete on stage. Andrew has made some positive improvements in his off-season, and he should have no problem qualifying for the 2024 Mr. Olympia.
Samson Dauda has just started his off-season, after competing at two Arnold Classic events last March. Samson has just confirmed that he will be training at Oxygen Gym in Kuwait, and he will be coached by his wife.
Finally, the star of the evening, 2023 Mr. Olympia Derek Lunsford made his appearance. Derek looked massive and he looks to be well on his way to defending his title at the 2024 Mr. Olympia. Derek looks to be still improving his already exceptional physique.
Finally, there was a guest posing appearance by Men’s Classic Physique stars, Urs Kalecinski, and Ramon Queiroz. Both stepped on stage together for a posedown. Both Urs and Ramon will be looking to challenge Chris Bumstead for the Men’s Classic Physique Olympia title.
Missing from the guest posing lineup was two-time Mr. Olympia Big Ramy. This is the second time he snubbed this event in his career. Ramy published a press release explaining that he had Visa issues, but a large number of bodybuilding fans and media did not accept his reason. Big Ramy still has not confirmed if he will be competing at the 2024 Mr. Olympia.
