<\/a><\/div>\nThe Spanish standout previously competed in Classic Physique<\/a>, where he established himself as a serious contender against some of the division\u2019s biggest names.<\/p>\nHe finished fourth at the 2025 Mr. Olympia<\/a>, demonstrating that he could compete with the world\u2019s elite Classic Physique athletes.<\/p>\nHowever, his continued muscular development eventually led to a major career decision.<\/p>\n
During the 2026 Pittsburgh Pro, Josema announced that he would be leaving Classic Physique behind and transitioning to Men\u2019s Open bodybuilding.<\/p>\n
The move immediately generated excitement among fans eager to see how his physique would translate to a division without the same weight restrictions.<\/p>\n
Now, his first official competition in the new division appears to be set.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh Pro Will Be a Major Test for Josema<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Pittsburgh Pro has become one of bodybuilding\u2019s most prominent competitions outside the Arnold Classic and Mr. Olympia. Mass monster Michal Krizo<\/a> took last year\u2019s competition on the way to a 6th place finish at Mr. Olympia.<\/p>\nFor Josema, the 2027 event will represent an opportunity to prove that his impressive physique can hold its own against established Men\u2019s Open competitors.<\/p>\n
Unlike Classic Physique, the Men\u2019s Open division does not impose a weight limit, allowing competitors to pursue greater muscular size while maintaining the conditioning, symmetry<\/a>, and presentation<\/a> necessary to impress the judges.<\/p>\nThat transition can be challenging, particularly when facing athletes who have spent years developing the mass required to compete at the highest level.<\/p>\n
However, Josema\u2019s combination of muscularity, conditioning, and growing popularity makes his debut especially intriguing.<\/p>\n
The biggest question will be whether he can bring enough overall size to challenge experienced Open competitors without sacrificing the qualities that helped make him successful in Classic Physique.<\/p>\n
His debut will also provide an early indication of how quickly he might become a contender for bodybuilding\u2019s biggest titles.<\/p>\n
For now, one thing is certain: Josema Beast\u2019s move to Men\u2019s Open<\/strong> has become one of the most interesting storylines heading into the 2027 bodybuilding season.<\/p>\nHeader image embed via Instagram<\/em> @josema__beast<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
