Pittsburgh Pro Bodybuilding 2025 Results
These are the Pittsburgh Pro 2025 top finishers from all seven divisions. We’ve discussed each champion according to the Pittsburgh Pro 2025 scorecards and listed the top five placers.
Men’s Open Bodybuilding
Derek Lunsford once again showed why he is the man to beat in 2025 by taking the Open Bodybuilding title. His open success at the Pittsburgh Power & Fitness Festival 2025 follows his impressive 2025 Arnold Classic win. With two big wins to start his 2025 season, he’s the firm betting favorite for the 2025 Mr. Olympia title.
In a much closer battle than most anticipated, Derek showcased his improved leg separation and dominance from the back. Although he’s a smaller athlete, you’re immediately drawn to his incredible muscularity and overall flow. This is one of the reasons why he’ll always remain in the conversation as long as he continues to compete.
However, the battle between him and Nick Walker was much closer than anyone expected. Nick looked amazing, bringing his trademark freaky muscularity and full muscle bellies. However, it was his incredible conditioning that got everyone talking, with many believing this was his best package to date.
Martin Fitzwater showed once again why he’s one of the brightest new open prospects, continuing his series of impressive placings. He took third place, beating William Bonac in Fourth and Michal Krizanek in fifth.

- First Place – Derek Lunsford (USA)
- Second Place – Nick Walker (USA)
- Third Place – Martin Fitzwater (USA)
- Fourth Place – William Bonac (Netherlands)
- Fifth Place – Michal Krizanek (Slovakia)
Classic Physique
Terrance Ruffin has always been a future star in Classic Physique. After an impressive 2023 season, Terrance decided to take time off following a serious injury and some personal challenges. Because of this, many wondered when he would continue his Classic Olympia title bid following the retirement of Chris Bumstead.
In an iconic classical showdown, Terrance reminded us why he’s still one of the best in the world. His Pittsburgh Pro win represents a huge step in his 2025 Olympia aspirations after so long away from the stage.
I’m a huge fan of Terrance and the package he brings. His exceptional flow and symmetry give him an old-school classic look, representing where many believe the division should be. Furthermore, his stage presence and posing are always a class above the rest, something he showcased yet again in Pittsburgh.
Josema Munoz took a well-deserved second place, showcasing fantastic classical lines and incredible muscularity. However, he didn’t quite have the overall flow and posing to place above Terrance. In third place, Richard Nagy reaffirmed his position as a rising star after some impressive wins at the start of the 2025 season.
The Pittsburgh Pro Classic Physique winners:
- First Place — Terrence Ruffin (USA)
- Second Place — Josema Munoz (Spain)
- Third Place — Richard Nagy (Hungary)
- Fourth Place — Brady King (USA)
- Fifth Place — Murat Khan (Australia)
Men’s Physique
In an exciting men’s physique battle, former Olympia champion Erin Banks showcased his experience, beating off stiff competition. He’s one of only three men to win both the Olympia and the Arnold. If this wasn’t enough, he’s the only man to win both titles in the same year.
After taking second at the 2024 Mr. Olympia and 2025 Arnold Classic, his Pittsburgh win puts him back in contention. He showcased incredible conditioning alongside his trademark V-taper that many have long admired. However, the battle for the top spot was much closer than any imagined.
Vitor Chaves from Brazil followed closely behind in second with amazing conditioning and a great overall shape. His Brazilian companion, Edvan Palmiera, took third, showcasing more of a hybrid classical physique.
- First Place — Erin Banks (USA)
- Second Place — Vitor Chaves (Brazil)
- Third Place — Edvan Palmeira (Brazil)
- Fourth Place — Brandon Hendrickson (USA)
- Fifth Place — Ricardo Cenat (USA)
Women’s Physique
In a smaller Women’s Physique line-up, Natalia Abraham Coelho took first place. The ten-time Olympian and two-time Arnold Classic champion showcased her experience in a competitive line-up.
The Doctor of Natural Medicine has one of my favorite Women’s Physique shapes. She offers a beautiful combination of shape and flow from top to bottom alongside great conditioning. Her recent win makes her a three-time Pittsburgh Pro champion.
Rachel Daniels took second place, displaying amazing conditioning and freaky muscularity. Sheronia Henton rounded out the top three, bringing a nice combination of conditioning and shape.
- First Place — Natalia Abraham Coelho (USA)
- Second Place — Rachel Daniels (USA)
- Third Place — Sheronica Henton (USA)
- Fourth Place — Birgit Andersch (AUT)
- Fifth Place — Anna-Lena Prinz (GER)
Women’s Wellness
The Wellness Division has quickly become one of the most popular and hotly contested women’s shows. With a wide-open Pittsburgh lineup full of new and exciting competitors, the stage was set for an interesting showdown.
Valquiria Lopes from Brazil took the top prize, showcasing a nicely developed physique, with excellent glute size. Seven-time Olympian Rayane Fogal took second place, showing incredible leg development and stage presence. Leonida Leo rounded out the top three, with the three-time Olympian bringing a great shape to take third place.
- First Place — Valquiria Lopes (BRA)
- Second Place — Rayane Fogal (BRA)
- Third Place — Leonida Leo (MDA)
- Fourth Place — Kassandra Gillis (CAN)
- Fifth Place — Lisa Meiswinkel (GER)
Women’s Figure
In the Women’s Figure division, Lola Montez took the overall award with perfect scores across the board. The five-time Olympian and top-three finisher brought her trademark combination of conditioning and shape to power past the competition.
Previous Arnold champion Natalia Soltero from Mexico took second, showcasing a great overall package. However, she didn’t quite have the conditioning to match Lola in first. In third place, Lena Ramsteiner had excellent leg development but didn’t quite have the upper body to match the top two.
- First Place — Lola Montez (CAN)
- Second Place — Natalia Soltero (MEX)
- Third Place — Lena Ramsteiner (GER)
- Fourth Place — Nicole Zenobia Graham (USA)
- Fifth Place — Melissa Brodsky (USA)
Women’s Bikini
The Women’s Bikini division is always among the most competitive, often featuring a huge competitor list. Once again, the Pittsburgh Pro showdown didn’t disappoint. Although the scorecards were fairly conclusive, Amy Delgado managed to take her third Pittsburgh title, bringing an incredible package.
In doing so, she becomes a three-time Pittsburgh champion, winning them back-to-back-to-back. This means she is the first Women’s Bikini competitor to do so, cementing her place in the Pittsburgh history books.
Ashlyn Little came in second, with the five-time Olympian scoring the same across the board for all five judges. Maureen Blanquisco took third place, showing that she belongs at the top of the division.

Furthermore, Ramon Dino reminded us why he’s one of the favorites to take the vacant Olympia Classic Division title. He gave us a welcome peek at his current physique as he looks to take the throne after Bumstead’s retirement.
As always, each athlete showcased their impressive off-season shapes. This gave us a small glimpse of what’s to come as they continue preparing for the 2025 Mr. Olympia.
Alongside this, fitness icon Sam Sulek showcased his current off-season shape after earning the fastest IFBB Pro card in history.
Final Thoughts
With nothing to separate the top two open competitors, the 2025 Pittsburgh Pro certainly lived up to its historical name. In a showdown that will long be remembered, Derek Lunsford took home the Open title and USD 100,000 prize. With this, he’ll continue building towards the 2025 Olympia as he remains the betting favorite for the title.
