With the Olympia qualification rules being redefined within the last two years, each IFBB contest has become more and more important. This is magnified for the pros who choose to compete in only one or two shows a year, making the automatic bid for a win the route that many bodybuilders have chosen to take. So as we creep closer and closer to the Mr. Olympia, the line-ups at each show grows.

We will see 32 bodybuilders take the stage this weekend at the PBW Tampa Pro, with four names jumping off the page as the main contenders for the top spot. Evan Centopani, Juan Morel, Lionel Beyeke and Bill Wilmore are all capable of winning and it will be a battle that can go in many different directions. Each of them have tasted victory at the professional level and it all depends on conditioning when the lights are on.
