Fans have circled the next heavy-hitting Men\u2019s Open contest of the season. The 2025 Romania Muscle Fest Pro, a staple on the IFBB Pro League calendar, is set to light up the stage in Bucharest, Romania, on November 9. Days before the action, on Nov. 3, retired bodybuilding veterans Iain Valliere and Seth Feroce revealed their top 10 Men\u2019s Open picks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chinedu Andrew \u201cJacked\u201d Obiekea<\/a><\/strong> is screaming as the obvious frontrunner ahead of the event. It\u2019s for good reason. Jacked brought his all-time best physique to the recent 2025 Olympia and shocked the world. He overpowered a downsized Samson Dauda<\/a> to secure third place. Lee Priest, a powerful authority in the sport, \u2018gun-to-head\u2019 thought Jacked was the rightful winner<\/a>, not a \u2018waterlogged beached whale<\/a>\u2018 Derek Lunsford.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be a shut-out for Jacked, though; rising sensation Joan Pradells could upset the towering Nigerian mass monster. Young, with fresh muscle and a lights-out front double biceps pose<\/a> \u2013 Pradells is quickly proving why he received so much hype from fans online. Pradells isn\u2019t holding out for just one or two shows; he\u2019s competing often, putting in the rounds to further his physique\u2019s evolution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pradells took third at the ESN British Grand Prix<\/a> behind Michal Krizo, then finished fifth at the Prague Pro<\/a>. That was an accomplishment considering how talent-deep the Prague show was. Romania won\u2019t be a two-man contest, as other under-the-radar threats loom in the hunt for gold, including the consistent Jan Turek and 2023 Poland Pro<\/a> winner Damian Kuffel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
