The Pittsburgh Pro gave bodybuilding fans a massive surprise during its guest-posing session. Besides its star-studded line-up of open-division bodybuilders, including Mr. Olympia Derek Lunsford, Nick Walker, Samson Dauda, and others, two classic physique icons graced the Pittsburgh Pro stage. While fans knew Urs Kalecinski would guest pose, Ramon Dino was the wild card.

The top Classic Physique competitors displayed their off-season physiques and even held their own against the mass monsters from the open division. However, Urs Kalecinski shocked the crowd with his size. While it’s no secret that the German bodybuilding star does massive bulks during the off-season, no one expected him to look as big as Ramon Dino. 

Ramon Dino has emerged victorious on every occasion against the Miracle Bear. However, this time, Urs Kalecinski seems to have made massive strides in improving his physique. Fans noticed that the 2023 Arnold Classic runner-up didn’t just put on enough muscle to rival Ramon Dino, but looked incredibly conditioned with defined muscles on the Pittsburgh pro stage.

Bodybuilding fans and experts have always praised Urs Kalecinski for having some of the best legs in Classic Physique. However, the Miracle Bear showed off the improvements he has made to his upper body. While his arms still lagged behind Ramon Dino, the bodybuilder seemed to have made up ground in every other aspect.

Urs Kalecinski, holding his own against open bodybuilders, also surprised fans because he didn’t do too well at the Arnold Classic UK. The 2023 Classic Physique Olympia bronze medalist fell to fourth place in the UK. However, he took a break from training shortly after the Arnold Classic UK, and it seems to have benefited him immensely. Many fans thought he looked better than his Brazilian rival.

Fans explained why Urs Kalecinski looked better than Ramon Dino

While most fans agreed that the Miracle Bear looked better than the former Arnold Classic Physique champion, there was a catch. “In this pic, Urs all the way. But in reality, I don’t see the day where Urs has the best over Ramon,“ wrote one fan. “Actually, that angle is favoring Urs in size. But yeah He is improving a lot,“ commented another fan.

“IMO Urs is more complete, and it’s making massive improvements each time,“ wrote a fan. “For the first time, Urs actually looks good on stage, not depleted,“ commented one fan. However, some weren’t convinced he could beat Dino in a competition. “On the Web people always pick Urs. In reality, we know Ramon always wipes the floor with him. TBH, I don’t ever see Urs beating him. He’s as far away from Ramon as Ramon is from Chris,“ commented a fan.

While Urs Kalecinski made undeniable improvements, fans who chose him also thought he looked better than Ramon Dino because of the angle and pose. So, what’s your verdict? Would you pick Kalecinski over Dino? Tell us in the comments.
