Athletes to Watch
Some fans and insiders see the title for this show going to one of the three competitors listed below.
Regan Grimes
Regan Grimes made his 2025 season debut at the New York Pro, finishing fourth place behind champion Nick Walker. Grimes invested over a year into his off-season, hoping to show a bigger and better conditioned physique. He did not win in Teaneck, NJ, but he could get it in this show.
Sasan Heirati
Sasan Heirati placed fifth at the 2025 New York Pro and second in the 2025 Detroit Pro in March. He is looking for his first win and Olympia qualification. He has been on the hunt multiple times this season but has faced veterans of a larger size and more experience. If Grimes is off, this could be where he gets that first victory.
Patrick Moore
Patrick Moore was 10th at the 2025 Arnold Classic but has seen much greater success in this contest, winning it in 2019 and 2021. This is his eighth year at the pro level, and he is looking to qualify for the Olympia for the first time since 2021.
