Can Steve Kuclo hold off Iain Valliere and Philip Clahar?

The Texas Pro is upon us and will feature some of the best bodybuilders in the world. The competitors list is absolutely stacked, particularly in the Men’s Open Bodybuilding division. With competitors like Steve Kuclo, Iain Valliere and Phillip Clahar, the Texas Pro is sure to be an incredible show.

With so much talent on stage and only one opportunity to punch a ticket to the Olympia, who will earn the top spot?

Steve Kuclo

A favorite to win the show just a few weeks ago, Steve Kuclo now has a bunch of top competitors to contend with. Kuclo has been looking absolutely impressive heading into the Texas Pro. Hoping to win at home, Kuclo will now have his hands full with Iain Valliere and Phillip Clahar. It’s anyone’s guess as to which man will have the advantage heading into the show. What is certain is that Steve Kuclo possesses the kind of grainy physique and impressive improvements to potentially outshine the competition.

Iain Valliere

Fresh off an impressive victory at the Tampa Pro, Iain Valliere is looking to spoil someone’s Olympia hopes at the Texas Pro. Many have questioned why Iain Valliere would make this move after earning a spot at the Olympia. But when consider it, it’s actually a brilliant move. If he can claim victory at the Texas Pro it means lessening the competition at the Olympia. Should he lose however he’ll definitely lose a bit of momentum heading into the Olympia. With Phillip Clahar at the show and Steve Kuclo looking beastly, Valliere surely has his hands full at this show.

Phillip Clahar

While he may not have picked up a victory at the Tampa Pro, Phillip Clahar is riding a wave of momentum heading into the Texas Pro. Clahar nearly defeated Iain Valliere at Tampa and clearly has the physique to contend with the best of the best. He could be the dark horse of the competition. He has the potential to crush the competition and earn his spot at the Olympia. His conditioning and his back development is top notch and could potentially see him securing victory.
