Men’s Physique Athletes to Watch
Eleven athletes have prepared for this show, and the three early favorites are as follows:
Amit Agre
The defending champion is back to seek a repeat win. Amit Agre won this show in 2024 but did not compete in that year’s Olympia. Therefore, he must be victorious again to be eligible this season.
Lovepreet Singh
Lovepreet Singh garnered much fan attention after he took third in the 2025 Everest Muscle Games Pro in Warsaw, Poland, on May 25. He ranked fifth in this contest in 2024. Singh seeks his first pro win and Olympia qualification.
Gijo John
Gijo John returns to the stage after ranking fourth at this contest one year ago. He turned pro at this event in 2023 and will pose for his first Olympia qualification.
Other Notes
This event includes pro qualifiers. The winners of those contests will be eligible to enter the pro shows the same weekend, should they choose.
