Classic Physique Athletes to Watch

Below are athletes likely to contend for the crown in Classic Physique:

German Pastor

German Pastor is the favorite going into the show because he is from the host country and has Olympia experience. His last pro win came at the 2023 Empro Pro (also held in Alicante), which qualified him for the 2023 Classic Physique Olympia, where he finished outside the top 15. This will be his 2024 season debut. 

Alexander Westermeier

Alexander Westermeier was in the 2022 Olympia but did not qualify for the 2023 Olympia in four attempts. His best result was second at the 2023 Sheru Classic France Pro.

Westermeier’s most recent contest was at the 2023 Prague Pro, finishing in third place. This show is his first appearance of the 2024 season. 

Andre Gerstner

Gerstner is the dark horse of the contest. According to NPC News Online, Gerstner first competed as an amateur in May 2023. By the end of that summer, he earned his pro card and entered shows.

Gerstner ranked eighth overall at the Empro Pro but was never a threat to win a pro show that season. That seems different now that he has had time to train and adjust to the pro level of competition. Do not be surprised if he makes the first callout at this event.
