The competition for the sport’s most prestigious title took center stage during the prejudging event on Friday at 10 p.m.
The night in Orlando brought forth an array of Men’s Open contenders who wasted no time in showcasing their incredible physiques. Notably, Derek Lunsford stood out with his striated glutes, wide back, and a freakish fullness, drawing attention, particularly with his impressive thick lat spread, a detail that even garnered praise from Phil Heath.
Samson Dauda also left a lasting impression during the prejudging rounds, thanks to remarkable improvements in his back. His newfound width and intricate detailing presented an improved look for the event. Meanwhile, Brandon Curry, whose place on the stage had been uncertain due to an issue with ulcers, made a strong statement with thicker quads and a sculpted back.
The crowd marveled at Hadi Choopan as he entered the stage with a striking front relaxed pose. Featuring round shoulders and a striated chest, Choopan exuded a fresh and imposing presence. From vacuums to crab most muscular poses, the champion left no stone unturned during his debut as a Mr. Olympia titleholder.
In the climactic final call-out, Hadi Choopan, Derek Lunsford, and Samson Dauda battled for supremacy. Each competitor had the chance to take center stage, leaving fans in suspense about the ultimate outcome of this highly anticipated competition.
