2024 New York Pro Results

Men’s Open Bodybuilding Results

Heading into the finals, Nick Walker was the talk of the town. Not only did he showcase exceptional definition in his hamstrings, but he proved that he could successfully bounce back from a devastating injury. With questions lingering about his midsection following his guest posing appearance in Pittsburgh, fans wondered if abdominal control would determine his fate.

Walker has continued to add mass while keeping his waist tight. His V-taper shined on stage and his front lat spread has drastically improved since his last show in Ohio, making for a more shapely physique.

Having taken third on the prestigious Olympia stage and second to Samson Dauda at the Arnold Classic in 2023, Walker was out to prove himself with a next-level peak. However, no one could have predicted the breakout performance of Martin Fitzwater.

Fitzwater felt confident heading into this event, and for good reason. His win at the Detroit Pro not only sent a clear message to the Open class but it bolstered his self-belief. Fitzwater’s fullness, feathered quads, and striated chest gave Walker all he could handle on stage. 

The show captivated fans during each passing moment with interesting comparisons. By the end of the night, Nick Walker secured his second New York Pro ring and is now 2024 Mr. Olympia-bound! Martin Fitzwater made a statement in second place and Tonio Burton finished third.
