Men’s Open Athletes to Watch

Many eyes will be on the Men’s Open show, which features 10 athletes. The three early favorites are:

Andrew Jacked

Andrew Jacked was third at the 2025 Arnold Classic and fifth at the 2024 Mr. Olympia contest before that. His last win was at the 2024 Texas Pro. He will likely be one of the biggest men in the lineup, and he is known for his symmetry, making him a serious contender for this show.

Sergio Oliva Jr. 

Second-generation bodybuilder Sergio Oliva Jr. will make his first appearance onstage since winning bronze at the 2023 California Pro. The former New York Pro champion looks to win and return to the Olympia stage for the first time since 2018.

Sasan Heirati

Sasan Heirati surprised fans when he placed second at the 2025 Detroit Pro. He is looking for his first win and Olympia qualification. He may have difficulty matching Jacked on size, but his shape can make him a contender for a high placing.
