💪 Men’s 212: Lucas Garcia Completes the Comeback
🥇 Lucas Garcia (Brazil) – 1st Place
After a stunning win at the 2025 Tampa Pro, Lucas Garcia returned to the stage with a mission: prove he wasn’t a one-show wonder.
And he did exactly that.
Garcia brought a bigger, fuller, and even more conditioned package to Texas—showcasing dense muscle mass, razor-sharp separation, and smooth posing that left judges and fans in awe.
His quads, chest, and back were fully peaked, and his waist control was impeccable.
This victory wasn’t just a win.
It was a statement.
Lucas Garcia is no longer a prospect.
He’s a dominant force in the 212 division.AdvertisementContinue Reading Below
With this back-to-back pro win, he has officially qualified for the 2025 Mr. Olympia and is now considered a top 3 threat for the title.
🥈 Marco Ruz (France) – 2nd Place
Marco Ruz, the 2024 Olympia 12th-place finisher, delivered a strong, balanced, and mature performance.
He looked tighter and more refined than in Tampa, with excellent conditioning and solid posing.
However, he lacked the mass and fullness in his quads and upper body to challenge Garcia.
Still, a 2nd-place finish in such a stacked field is a major achievement and keeps him on track for another Olympia run.
🥉 Cam George (Australia) – 3rd Place
Cam George continues his consistent streak, placing 3rd after a 5th at Tampa Pro.
He brought a decent package with good structure and symmetry, but once again, his shoulders lacked pop and his side chest pose was weak.
He needs to add more muscle maturity and detail to climb higher.
Still, he remains a dangerous contender when he brings his best.
4th – Esteban Fuquene (USA)
Esteban Fuquene, fresh off a 15th-place finish at the 2024 Olympia, looked sharper and more defined than in recent appearances.
He brought good conditioning and stage presence, but his back and lower body still lack the depth and thickness of the top tier.
A top 5 finish is solid, but Fuquene will need a major upgrade to crack the podium at Olympia.
🔹 Other Notable Placings:
- Felipe Isaac Fierro Lobos (Chile) – 5th – showed strong quads
- Andrei Melnikov (Russia) – 6th – consistent performer
- Darwin Uribe (Colombia) – 7th – needs more fullness
- Stephen Didoshak (USA) – 8th – solid debut
- Jason Lowe (USA) – 9th – veteran presence
- Anthony Altamirano (USA) – 10th
🏅 Classic Physique: Matheus Menegate Reigns Supreme
🥇 Matheus Menegate (Brazil) – 1st Place
Matheus Menegate is on a tear.
After a 9th-place finish at the 2024 Mr. Olympia, Menegate returned in 2025 with a vengeance, winning the 2025 Texas Pro in dominant fashion.
He brought a fully peaked, dry, and aesthetic package—highlighted by:
- Massive, capped delts
- Deep rib cage and tiny waist
- Full, round muscle bellies
- Flawless posing and transitions
His V-taper was one of the best on stage, and his back double biceps was a standout pose.
This win secures his qualification for the 2025 Mr. Olympia and solidifies his status as a top 5 threat in the division.
The Brazilian star is rising fast.
🥈 Carlos Dommar (USA) – 2nd Place
Carlos Dommar delivered a strong, balanced, and well-conditioned performance.
He looked full and hard, with excellent symmetry and professional stage presence.
But he lacked the width and sweep of Menegate, especially in the shoulders and back.
Still, a 2nd-place finish at a major pro show is a huge milestone for the American athlete.
🥉 Juseong Seo (South Korea) – 3rd Place
Juseong Seo continues to be a dark horse in Classic Physique.
He brought sharp conditioning, good posing, and a clean aesthetic—but needs more mass and roundness in his muscle bellies to challenge the elite.
His front poses were strong, but his back shots lacked depth.
Still, he’s improving fast and could be a top 10 Olympia contender in 2025.
4th – Austin Espy (USA)
Austin Espy looked lean and defined, with a tight midsection and good flow.
He’s known for his symmetry, but needs to add more mass to stay competitive.
5th – Nick Koeu (USA)
Nick Koeu brought a balanced, aesthetic structure, but was outclassed by the top 4 in conditioning and detail.
🔹 Other Notable Placings:
- Matt Orchard (UK) – 6th – consistent but needs more fullness
- Richard Morilla (Philippines) – 7th – international talent on the rise
🔥 Final Thoughts: A Preview of the 2025 Mr. Olympia?
