Men’s Open Favorites
Here’s a quick rundown on the favorites to take the podium at the 2022 Boston Pro on March 12:
Steve Kuclo
There is a lot on the line for Steve Kuclo at the 2022 AC and Boston Pro. At the time this article was published, about two weeks before the 2022 AC, he is in third place on the 2022 Olympia qualification points table, with nine points to his name. Kuclo did not qualify for the 2021 Olympia. In total, he’s competed at six Olympias.

Steve Kuclo is currently hard at work for the Arnold Classic scheduled for March 3-6, 2022, in Columbus, OH. Judging by Kuclo’s 2022 AC progress updates, he appears to be in prime condition, assuming he can nail his peak.
Regan Grimes
Although Regan placed 15th at the 2021 Olympia, he bounced back quickly with a string of impressive finishes.
Grimes placed second behind Shaun Clarida at the 2021 Legion Sports Festival and has earned automatic qualification to the 2022 Olympia by winning the 2021 Egypt pro.
If he can bring the same shape and conditioning, there is a strong probability he can win the 2022 AC and Boston Pro.
Justin Rodriguez
Justin Rodriguez occupies fourth place on the 2022 Olympia qualification table with eight points — one point behind Kuclo.
Rodriguez qualified for 2021 Mr. O by winning the 2021 Indy Pro, where he won both the prejudging and final rounds with perfect scores. He took eighth place at the 2021 Olympia.

Although a high placing at the 2022 AC and Boston Pro will add points to his OQS (Olympia qualification system) score, winning any of two shows will save him the effort of competing in multiple shows throughout the year.
