Pittsburgh Pro 2025: Was This Bodybuilding’s Most Controversial Show Since 1980 Olympia?

The 2025 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro is being called the century’s most controversial bodybuilding competition. Critics and fans alike are questioning the results after Edvan Palmeira, who many believed brought a better physique than both Erin Banks and Ali Bilal, was awarded only third in Men’s Physique. In Classic Physique, 23-year-old Jose Manuel’s jaw-dropping conditioning and size led many to argue he deserved the win over Terence Ruffin (Ruff Diesel). The Open Bodybuilding division saw Nick Walker, in the best shape of his life, lose to Derek Lunsford after a dramatic tiebreaker, sparking widespread allegations of unfair judging and even “robbery”. The uproar is reminiscent of the infamous 1980 Mr. Olympia, when Arnold Schwarzenegger’s controversial victory led legends like Frank Zane and Mike Mentzer to boycott the sport. With the community demanding accountability, can bodybuilding afford to lose its champions to questionable judging and subjective calls? Is history repeating itself at the expense of the sport’s future?
