This year, the Pittsburgh Pro guest posing features Hunter Labrada, Samson Dauda, Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay, Derek Lunsford, Nick Walker, Urs Kalecinski, Martin Fitzwater, and Chinedu ‘Andrew Jacked’ Obiekea.
For years, Jim Manion’s Pittsburgh Pro has been a cornerstone contest in the IFBB Pro League, showcasing some of the biggest names in bodybuilding. In the past, the best of the best have graced the stage and provided a glimpse at what would come later in the competitive season.
In 2022, Derek Lunsford guest posed in Pittsburgh while aiming to move up from 212 to the Men’s Open. Not only did he shine on stage at the Pittsburgh guest posing but he then went on to place second to Hadi Choopan at the Mr. Olympia in his Open debut, courtesy of a special invite. One year later, Lunsford achieved greatness as the sport’s first two-division Olympia champion.

Additionally, third-place 2023 Olympia finisher Samson Dauda will also put on a show. After taking second place to Hadi Choopan at the Arnold Classic Ohio and UK contests, Dauda intends to make a statement in this outing.
And who could forget the once-dominant Big Ramy, who took the entire 2023 season off to rest his physique. Having undergone stem cell treatments and extensive training, he remains one of the biggest mysteries of this guest posing attraction.
Nick Walker will aim to make waves in Pittsburgh. He returns after injuring his hamstring and calf just days before competing at the 2023 Olympia. With redemption on his mind, fans are thrilled to see him back on stage.
However, all the men on stage are chasing Derek Lunsford. With a bulletproof back double biceps pose, Lunsford established himself as a two-division Mr. Olympia and plans to extend his reign in the coming months.
Urs Kalecinski will appear as a guest poser as well. He recently took third place at the 2024 Arnold Classic UK competition. Meanwhile, Martin Fitzwater, the 2024 Detroit Pro winner, will make his respective guest posing splash.
In addition to an amazing guest posing lineup, fans are in for a treat as five-time Classic Physique Olympia champion Chris Bumstead is set to make a special appearance. The 2024 Pittsburgh Pro promises to be an incredible event packed with talent that you won’t want to miss.
Stay tuned to catch all the excitement as we unveil the thrilling highlights for the upcoming 2024 bodybuilding season!
