New York Pro Men’s Open Preview & Predictions

Hassan Mostafa

A favorite to win the show, Hassan Mostafa is looking to be in some incredible shape heading into the New York Pro. Prepping with the likes of Flex Wheeler and Jose Raymond, Mostafa has kind of experienced wisdom behind him to take his game to the next level. With such a balanced physique, incredible symmetry, with well develop musculature, it’s easy to see why Hassan Mostafa could crush the competition at the NY Pro.

Blessing Awodibu

After coming in third place at the Indy Pro, a lot of questions have been raised of Blessing Awodibu. While he did develop some impressive legs for the show, he was still lacking in the conditioning department. If you let Blessing tell it, it seems that the Indy Pro was merely a dress rehearsal for the New York Pro. That said, it’s hard to imagine he could transform his physique enough in a weeks time to make it count. Whether he wins or not, chances are good that he will at least crack the top five.

Nick Walker

Looking to make a big impression in his come back to the stage, Nick Walker has been putting his all into his New York Pro 2021 prep. With some monstrous legs that deft humanity, Walker has a great chance at taking top three at this show. It will be interesting to see how his rivalry with Blessing Awodibu will play out. While Walker does have some great legs, his chest is a bit of a week point that his rival Blessing could potentially exploit. For now, whether they are battling for first or not, many eyes will focused on the battle between Nick Walker and Blessing Awodibu.

Justin Rodriguez

Winner of the Indy Pro, Justin Rodriguez has a ton of upside. Riding high on the momentum of his win, Rodriguez has a great chance to repeat at the New York Pro 2021. The package he brought to the Indy Pro was very impressive and complete. There’s no question that his biggest competition at the show will be Hassan Mostafa. Both have symmetry, both are balanced, and both are well muscled. Don’t be surprised if Justin Rodriguez ends up in a head to head battle with Hassan Mostafa.

Who do you think will win at the NY Pro?
