The 2026 New York Pro presented a stacked stage on May 8 and 9, with the Marriott in Glenpointe, NJ, playing host to some serious masters of muscle. Here are the full results.<\/p>\n

With qualification for September\u2019s Olympia final very much on their minds, competitors from nine divisions gave it their all at the NY Pro. In the Open division, a new trophy winner was assured for the first time since 2024, since Nick Walker, who had won the past two-years straight, decided to sit this one out.<\/p>\n

Open Division Winner: Tonio Burton<\/h2>\n

Tonio Burton was back on top at the New York Pro after first winning the trophy in 2023, right before Nick Walker\u2019s back-to-back victories. To make a brilliant return to form, Burton beat a competitive lineup that included Michael Krizanek in second, and Rafeel Brandao in third. Judges felt that in the end, Burton\u2019s conditioning made him king.<\/p>\n

Burton later explained in a post-win interview with RX Muscle<\/a> that he was 10 pounds heavier than the last time he appeared on stage, but had been cutting a significant number of calories during his prep. \u201cIt ended up paying off for us,\u201d concluded the bodybuilder after sticking with his coaches\u2019 plan of pulling carbs from most of his meals. No doubt, that victory meal must have been quite something.<\/p>\n
