Brandon Hendrickson at a back workout before Men's Physique Olympia 2022

The Men's Physique Olympia competition is currently dominated by Brandon Hendrickson, who walked off the podium as the winner in 2018, 2020 and 2021.

This fighter's goal for this year's competition, of course, is to defend his title, equaling Jeremy Buendi, who reigned supreme in this competition from 2014 to 2017, in the number of victories.

Jeremy announced his return to the stage after a long competition hiatus, with many hoping, perhaps even believing, that it could happen at this year's Olympia Weekend. However, as we recently informed you, Jeremy himself does not acknowledge this possibility, and is not planning his return until Olympia Weekend in 2023!

So, if Brandon manages to fulfill his goal, and manages to win this year's Men's Physique Olympia, two four-time champions could come face-to-face at next year's event for a record fifth win!

Brandon could, at least for this year, breathe a sigh of relief, as his journey to a fourth title is much easier without Jeremy's presence. So he can fully focus on himself.

Below you can watch a video of him training his back muscles with about 10 weeks to go to fight for his fourth win.

Brandon also posted a video on his YT channel in which he gives some valuable advice, not only in the area of training, but also posing.

In terms of training, for example, he focuses on the lower back area. For this purpose, he likes to use a special machine that is specifically designed for training this muscle area.

Another of his favourite exercises for this area are pull-ups of a large dumbbell. Here, Brandon demonstrates how he works his shoulders, back and chest to get the lower back feeling its best, but as safe as possible.

The last exercise Brandon will demonstrate is the Glute Ham Raise. He will also add some good tips to it to make it as effective as possible.

Then he gets into advice on how to best present this muscle part on stage, offering the judges what he calls a Christmas tree.
