German Pastor
The 2024 California Supplements Pro runner-up looks to take the last step up the podium. German Pastor won the 2023 Musclecontest Ireland Pro to qualify for that year’s Olympia, but he finished the Olympia outside the top 15.
That win in Ireland is his only pro victory thus far in his five-year career. Pastor has been in the final callouts several times but has not sealed the deal. He is a favorite to change that in this show. So, if he brings his best, the odds are in his favor.
Shane Cullen
Cullen will make his 2024 season debut and his first pro show appearance since 2022. He was slated to enter the 2024 New York Pro but withdrew.
Cullen was last onstage at the 2022 Arnold Classic UK in Birmingham, England, where he finished fifth place.
Alexander Westermeier
Alexander Westermeier was last onstage at the 2024 California Supplements Pro, finishing in third place behind winner Jose Manuel Munoz. That was Westermeier’s only 2024 season appearance thus far.
This event is in Westermeier’s home country, which minimizes travel — a huge edge at the elite level of the sport. If Westermeier scores the gold here, he will qualify for his first Olympia.
