IFBB Pro Men’s Open Power Ranking – 2024/2025 Season
Updated Weekly – Powered by MrOlympia.news
How the IFBB Pro Men’s Open Power Ranking Works (Intro)
The IFBB Pro Men’s Open Power Ranking 2024-2025 is the ultimate reference for tracking the world’s best bodybuilders throughout the season.
Built on a clear, merit-based system, the ranking ensures that only the top performers — from Mr. Olympia’s elite to Pro Show winners — earn their place and accumulate points.
Each season begins after Mr. Olympia, resetting the field, and new challengers can only climb the ranks by winning major competitions.
This method ensures a fair, transparent, and dynamic competition year after year.
Below are the full details on how points are awarded and how the ranking system operates.

Only the Top 10 finishers at Mr. Olympia 2024 automatically enter the initial Power Ranking.
They carry forward the points earned from their Mr. Olympia 2024 final placements.
