The 2022 Texas Pro bodybuilding show will take place in Irving, TX, on Saturday, Aug. 13, 2022. Four Men’s divisions and four Women’s divisions will be contested.
As is the case with all International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness (IFBB) pro shows, the winners in each division will qualify to the 2022 Olympia, which takes place on Dec. 16-18 in Las Vegas.
Below is the roster for the Men’s Open show, listed in alphabetical order by last name:

Who to Watch
The 2022 Texas Pro has a relatively large (and very stacked) roster. Below are three athletes to pay close attention to as they contend for the top spot:
Steve Kuclo
Steve Kuclo was the presumed favorite for this contest in 2021, but he was upset by Iain Valliere, who was fresh off a win in Tampa the previous weekend. As a result, Kuclo did not compete at the 2021 Olympia. Redemption is on the mind, and Kuclo doesn’t want lightning to strike twice.
At six feet tall and around 280 pounds, Kuclo may be the most prominent athlete in the lineup. His victory may be imminent if he comes in ripped and not holding water.
Kamal Elgargni
2019 212 Olympia champion Kamal Elgargni made his Men’s Open debut in Tampa on Aug. 6, 2022. He left with a second-place finish to Akim Williams. Elgargni was, debatably, the best-conditioned athlete in that lineup — and he could be again in Texas. The question is if his smaller stature compared to guys like Kuclo will be too much to overcome.
The former Olympia 212 champion will be the third man this season to qualify for the Olympia in two divisions if he wins, following Shaun Clarida and Angel Calderon.
Quinton Eriya
Quinton “Beastwood” Eriya has been inching closer and closer to victory each time he competes. Eriya finished one spot behind Elgargni at the 2022 Tampa Pro, and he may be the one athlete on the roster that can match Kuclo’s size.
That level of muscularity could serve Eriya well in this contest. If nothing else, he will get to test himself against a superstar that has appeared on bodybuilding’s biggest stages more than a handful of times.
Eriya will make his Olympia debut in 2022 if he earns his qualification in this contest.
Other Divisions
The second through fifth place finishers will earn Tier 4 points in the Olympia Qualification System, and the top three finishers in that system will also move on to the Olympia.

Second – four points
Third – three points
Fourth – two points
Fifth – one point

Over 110 IFBB Pro League athletes will compete across all eight divisions in Texas. The lineups for the other seven contests are below:
