On Wednesday night, the Men’s Open lineup for the upcoming Pittsburgh Pro was released. It features some of the top competitors in the world and some that have taken the stage as a guest poser in the past.

A small lineup allows judges to evaluate each competitor better. It's better for the fans as well.

Was it here where someone argued if you analyzed Vito's physique it was bigger and better than for example Dorian, almost every single individual muscle was better? Probably was another forum. But no, don't agree at all, plus aesthetically I think Vito is ugly, and not to mention the "quality," not even in the same universe

He is ugly no doubt ,but next to Walker he’ll look like Shawn Ray.

It is my understanding that Derek Lunsford is also competing.

If so then easiest 100k he ever made.

I hope Walker places out of the Top 5 and has a meltdown back stage

In no universe does Vito have a better back than Dorian. No current pro has a better back than Dorian. I do wonder what it is about modern competitors that their quads and hamstrings are so much better than the 90"s guys

Fight for 2nd .
Derek has  confirmed he is in.
Dude is cleaning house :$500k ASC now 100k

Not a bad prediction.I have feeling Fritz will give Derek run for his money and it will be close battle for  top 2.
Nick and Bonac for 3rd .Krizo and Vito close the  first call out ,top 6.
Martin is closest thing that reminds me 90’s /think Levrone/.

I hear what you're saying, but IMHO Krizo is like Dennis James - looks awesome in gym pics but then not really structurally up there

I'll go out on a limb here - brace for impact - Krizo won't be in the first call out

We shall see...

One major change Krizo did was to drop old coach and start working with Farah .I believe he can surprise ,but he will look odd  and maybe lanky with all those guys 5’6” ,he stands 6’2”.
Cutler gave him some compliments ,but yeah important is stage not gym pics.

Having read some Farah articles and watching his videos, he will lower the gear, lower the protein and have him eat more nuts and seeds. A winning concept

Regardless, major physical changes are probably not happening, is my guess. The whole toolbox has already been employed. A slight improvement in conditioning is something that could happen...

He will be peeled IMO ,but will look stringy next to short guys. Black 6’+   guys  / Freeman,Jacked etc/ always look better even if they weigh less than white tall guys. Only guy over 6’ that was also impressive with X frame and massive was  Wolf.
