The first Mr. Olympia took place in 1965, and it only featured one competition. This year, athletes from 11 professional divisions will grace the stage in Orlando, Florida during the weekend of October 7th through 10th with hopes of being declared champion. With the 2021 Classic Physique Division being the most anticipated division of the event the competitors are amping up their training and taking it to social media. The 2021 Classic Physique Division Competitors that are brave enough to bare all on stage and face the judges have physiques that inspire old and young fans alike. They may not be as large as the Open competitors, but they have developed a following that is second to none.
The athletes bring it in the gym as well. They are strong and intense in the weight room, which is what it takes to compete at the highest level. These five men showcase why they will contend for the 2021 Classic Physique Olympia title on Instagram to inspire and motivate their fans to be at their best as well.
The two-time and defending champion was told in the past that he needed to bring up his arm development. If his execution of these hammer dumbbell curls are any indication, the mission appears to be accomplished.
Last year’s runner-up is also preparing for the 2021 Arnold Classic, taking place on Sept. 25. He shows here that his muscles are for both show and go. He takes on this set of Incline Smith machine presses with control and precision so every last fiber is fatigued properly. He won’t be bashful about hitting that side chest pose.
The former two-time winner of this contest displays his physique as if he is an artist. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t get nasty in the gym. He wants his legs to be on point when he stands in front of the judges. That’s why he goes heavy and deep on these machine squats.
Last year’s Arnold Classic Physique champ will be defending that title and try to improve on his fourth-place finish at the 2020 Olympia. He’s confident enough that he gave his followers a sneak peek at how he will look in Columbus and Orlando over the next few weeks.
This man could be the darkhorse of the lineup. The “Miracle Bear” has clearly been paying attention to details in his back. He displays width, density, and detail when he executes these poses. How do you think he will fare if he gets compared to the champion from Canada?
