The 2025 Musclecontest Bullman Pro was held on Saturday, May 17, in Dublin, Ireland, and featured 12 pro competitors. However, the pro show was briefly overshadowed by the pro qualifier event, which saw Larry Wheels win his pro card in the Classic Physique category. The former powerlifter, strongman, and arm-wrestler entered the contest with only six weeks of prep, but that was all he needed.
Following his amateur victory, Wheels took advantage of the opportunity to jump right into the pro show on the same day. However, he immediately got a taste of competing at the pro level, finishing in 10th place.
After his day on the stage, Wheels also made an Instagram post and called out Sam Sulek, another popular YouTube celebrity and Classic Physique pro, whom he wants to share the stage with in the future.
As for the pro show, German Pastor took the title and is now qualified for the 2025 Classic Physique Olympia, a part of the Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 9-12. The final placings for all 12 men are below.
- German Pastor (Spain)
- Patryk Jaskiewicz (Poland)
- Florian Hartlage (Germany)
- Edwin Owusu (Italy)
- Bosongo Mudimu (Germany)
- Luc Andre Steinker (Germany)
- Artem Puchkov (Russia)
- Victor Bortoletto (Brazil)
- Shane Cullen (Ireland)
- Larry Williams “Larry Wheels” (USA)
- Will Sage (USA)
- Steven Cochran (USA)
Winner — German Pastor
Pastor won this contest with a perfect score from the judges. This win allows him to compete at the 2025 Classic Physique Olympia, which will be his second career Olympia appearance. He finished outside the top 15 in 2023.
Second Place — Patryk Jaskiewicz
Jaskiewicz turned pro in late 2024 and only competed once in the pro ranks that year. He was significantly better at this show, but Pastor was just too strong and experienced. If Jaskiewicz chooses to compete again this season, he can be a threat to win his own Olympia qualification.
Third Place — Florian Hartwage
This is Hartwage’s first show of his third season at the pro level, and this is his first top-three finish. Hartwage has until Sept. 14, 2025, to win his first pro show and qualify for the Olympia if he wants to join Pastor on that stage.
