Top Competitors to Watch
Nick Walker
Nick Walker did not disappoint in his return to the stage. His last competition was the 2024 New York Pro and he came away with a victory. He decided he was not ready for the Olympia and continued his hiatus from competition. Walker has put on an insane amount of size ahead of the show last year and it was on full display during the 2025 Pittsburgh Pro. He finished as the runner-up to Derek Lunsford but many believe he should have been crowned champion. On Monday, Walker shared his intentions of returning to the NY Pro and will immediately become the favorite to win.
Michal Krizo
Krizo is another competitor that made his return to the stage in Pittsburgh. He fully recovered from a shoulder injury that required surgery. He was able to get back to full strength and get his physique stage-ready. Krizo has always been most impressive from the front, showing off his insane biceps. If he can bring his side and back up to speed, Krizo will full take the next step. He landed fifth in Pittsburgh and will look to improve upon that finish.
William Bonac
Bonac is qualified for the Olympia following his victory at the Detroit Pro earlier in the year. He returned to action after a short hiatus to get back to neutral. He did not believe he was the best version of himself and this led to a break. Now, Bonac is back and will test his physique against some of the best in the world. He impressed during the Pittsburgh Pro, cracking the top four when it was all said and done.
Regan Grimes
Grimes has been hard at work bulking up with an eye on the NY Pro. He returned to competition in 2023 and was victorious at the Europa Pro Championships. This earned him a spot in the 2023 Olympia, where he finished ninth. He previously made the jump from Classic Physique to Men’s Open and was able to put on ample size to compete in the biggest division.
