Samson Dauda, Derek Lunsford, Andrew Jacked, Jose Manuel Mu\u00f1oz, Wesley Vissers, Mike Sommerfeld, and Ramon Dino showed strong physiques during guest posing at the 2026 Pittsburgh Pro<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guest posing took place Sunday, May 17, during the Pittsburgh Power & Fitness Festival, before the second day of Pittsburgh Pro judging. The lineup brought four Men\u2019s Open-level names together with three leading Classic Physique contenders.<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s Open Names Took the Pittsburgh Stage<\/h2>\n

Samson Dauda<\/a> posed as a former Mr. Olympia winner. He won the 2024 Mr. Olympia Men\u2019s Open title and remains one of the division\u2019s biggest mass-and-shape threats.<\/p>\n

Derek Lunsford<\/a> arrived as the reigning Mr. Olympia after reclaiming the title in 2025. He previously won the 212 Olympia before moving up and winning the Open crown.<\/p>\n

Andrew Jacked<\/a> added another top-tier Open look after winning the 2026 Arnold Classic in Columbus and the 2026 Arnold Classic UK in Birmingham. His 2025 Olympia run ended with a third-place finish, keeping him in the center of the 2026 Olympia conversation.<\/p>\n

Mu\u00f1oz was the division-change story. His recent IFBB Pro record came in Men\u2019s Classic Physique, where he won the 2025 Pittsburgh Pro, placed second at the 2025 New York Pro, finished fourth at the 2025 Olympia, and won the 2025 Romania Muscle Fest Pro. On May 17, Mu\u00f1oz wrote on Instagram, \u201cBack to where I belong\u201d and \u201csee you in 2027,\u201d signaling a planned Men\u2019s Open move after his Classic Physique run.<\/p>\n

Classic Physique Standouts Joined the Lineup<\/h2>\n

Wesley Vissers<\/a>, Mike Sommerfeld<\/a>, and Ramon Dino<\/a> gave the crowd a direct look at three of Classic Physique\u2019s most discussed names.<\/p>\n

Vissers won the 2026 Arnold Classic in Ohio and remains a major threat in Classic Physique. Sommerfeld won the 2026 Arnold Classic UK, while Dino is the reigning Classic Physique Olympia champion after winning the title in 2025.<\/p>\n

The guest posing did not decide placings, but it showed where several major Olympia names stand physically. Dauda, Lunsford, Jacked, and Mu\u00f1oz brought the Open-size side. Vissers, Sommerfeld, and Dino showed the shape, balance, and presentation tied to Classic Physique.<\/p>\n

The next major target is the 2026 Olympia, scheduled for Sept. 24\u201327 in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino Resort and Pearl Theater. Pittsburgh gave fans an early look at several names expected to shape the road to that stage.<\/p>\n\n
