The annual International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) New York Pro is usually one of the biggest contests on the bodybuilding calendar. It’s not only a significant event for up-and-comers to make a name for themselves; it’s one of the essential steps en route to qualifying for the prestigious annual Olympia. The latest edition of the New York Pro in Teaneck, New Jersey, held true to this standard.

The 2023 New York Pro took place on May 20, 2023, in Teaneck, New Jersey. Nine divisions participated in the contest’s proceedings, including the: Men’s Open, Classic Physique, 212, Men’s Physique, Women’s Bodybuilding, Women’s Physique, Figure, Bikini, and Wellness. Each of the respective winners earned qualification for the 2023 Olympia in Orlando, FL, this early November. After changes to the qualification system in 2023, winning a contest outright is the only way to earn a berth for the 2023 Olympia, outside of an Olympia victory or a top-five finish at the previous Olympia.
