The 2024 China DMS Pro show will occur at the New International Expo Centre in Shanghai, China, on Friday, March 1, 2024. It features 11 IFBB Pro League athletes competing in the Men’s Physique and Bikini divisions.

Krishna Purnama Putra
Krishna Purnama Putra was the 2022 NPC Worldwide Amateur Olympia Men’s Physique winner. He competed twice in the pro ranks in 2023. He finished ninth in the 2023 Tokyo Pro, won by Joven Sagabain, and leaped to fourth at the AGP South Korea Men’s Physique Pro, won by JunHo Lee.
Putra could be in the running for gold in Shanghai because he’s had time to improve his physique, and the judges will have more time to focus on him. It would be his first win and Olympia qualification if he’s successful.
Xingwang Yang
Xingwang Yang will make his IFBB Pro League debut. Fans in Asia have anticipated his arrival on the pro scene after he earned his pro status at the 2023 NPC Worldwide Global Classic Superbowl Macau Pro Qualifier.
Xingwang Yang’s symmetry may be his greatest strength. Even though Men’s Physique athletes wear shorts, Yang’s leg development was apparent in his last amateur show.
Abdullah Al Salem
Hailing from Kuwait, Abdullah Al Salem is coming off a 12th-place finish in the 2023 Sheru Classic UK Pro, won by Febo Gambacorta. Abdullah Al Salem will face a smaller lineup in Shanghai and has had time to improve. This will be his 2024 season debut, where he will aim for his first pro show win.
