The 2024 AGP Pro All Stars Bodybuilding competition lit up Gyeonggi State, Korea, on September 29, with five standout athletes securing their tickets to the 2025 Mr. Olympia.
As one of the last major contests before the highly anticipated 60th anniversary of Mr. Olympia next month, the AGP Pro All Stars brought intense competition and thrilling performances in several divisions.
With coveted qualifications to next year’s Mr. Olympia on the line, athletes in Men’s 212 Bodybuilding, Classic Physique, and Men’s Physique left it all on the stage, battling for gold and glory.
Zhaofeng He Shines in Men’s 212 Bodybuilding
In the Men’s 212 Bodybuilding division, China’s Zhaofeng He stole the show, claiming the top spot and solidifying his qualification for the 2025 Mr. Olympia.
His win was no surprise to fans who have followed his career, as he has consistently showcased a blend of muscularity, symmetry, and refined conditioning.
At the AGP Pro All Stars, He’s overall physique was sharper than ever, with his full muscle bellies and crisp separation setting him apart from his competitors.
The second-place finisher, Cameroon’s Obenrocksman Arrah, put up a strong fight, displaying excellent size and thickness, but couldn’t quite match the fine-tuned conditioning of Zhaofeng He.
South Korea’s Seonghwan Kim rounded out the podium with a third-place finish, delivering a solid package but falling short in terms of muscular detail compared to the top two contenders.
The fourth and fifth positions were claimed by Sugeun Jeon and Hoyeon Jang, both representing South Korea, who also brought impressive physiques to the stage but couldn’t crack the top tier.
