Welcome to the FigureRX contest preview for the first major post-Arnold figure
show of the season, the IFBB Pittsburgh Pro! We think that this lineup is an
excellent indication of what we may see all year - this show is stacked! Between
comebacks, past champions, professional debuts and Olympia and Arnold stars, the
competition for the top five (and especially the top three Olympia qualifying
spots) will be intense. Picking a top five for this show led to a lot of
arguments in the corner conference room!
The Pittsburgh Pro tends to carry a little extra weight because it has been
around a while and is so close to the mother ship. The National Physique
Committee is based in Pittsburgh, and the city is also the corporate
headquarters of GNC. So many professional male bodybuilders answered the call to
guest pose for the show it looks like a mini-Olympia, or at least a mini-New
Zealand Grand Prix. In other words this is a serious event, housed in one of the
more unique contest venues around - Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall. If you
travel to Pittsburgh take some time to look around and admire the memorial, one
of the oldest and largest in the country to honor our veterans. If you don't
arrive in the City at night, try to work your schedule so you can drive from the
outskirts and through the Fort Pitt Tunnel, into a sudden, breathtaking
night-time view of the three rivers and the Pittsburgh skyline.
