The 2025 Chicago Pro will take place in Rosemont, IL, on the weekend of July 18-19. This annual event will host eight IFBB Pro League divisions in 2025 Olympia qualifiers. The winners of each contest will earn a spot on the Olympia stage in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 9-12, 2025. No other qualification will be issued in a category if the winner is already qualified.
The headline heading into this event is the absence of the Men’s Open division, which has been prominently featured in the past. However, there are Masters division shows for that category as well as the other divisions featured in Rosemont.

Classic Physique Athletes to Watch
The Classic Physique show will include 28 athletes, but 2024 winner Carlos Dommar is not one of them. Fans watching will pay attention to these three contenders.
Damien Patrick
This is Damien Patrick’s first contest appearance of 2025. He qualified for the 2025 Olympia by winning the 2024 Southern Muscle Showdown Pro. He won silver at the 2024 Atlantic Coast Pro. This is his first time competing in the Chicago Pro since 2020.
Kellen Wilson
Wilson won silver behind Dommar one year ago, but has returned to take the top spot. He was in the 2024 Classic Physique Olympia but failed to place in the top 15. This is the Canadian’s 2025 season debut.
Samuel Paquin
Samuel Paquin won bronze at the 2025 Toronto Pro Supershow and has improved since then. He made his Olympia debut in 2023 but failed to qualify in 2024. This will be his first time competing in the Chicago Pro.
How to Watch
Fans who cannot attend can watch all the action onstage through the show’s livestream. Details of how to purchase that livestream can be found on the event’s website.
