Check out the perfected forms of the eight Olympia Weekend participants
Author: We are only a week and a half away from the biggest celebration of bodybuilding, this year's Olympia Weekend, which will take place in Las Vegas on September 13th and 14th.
Below we offer you again videos and photos showing the current forms or workouts of some of the competitors who managed to qualify for the Mr. Olympia and Olympia 212 Showdon competitions.
Mr. Olympia
As for the heavyweights who have the opportunity to stand on the podium at this year's Mr. Olympia competition, today a foursome of fighters consisting of Brandon Curry, Akim Williams, Patrick Moore and Juan Morel will offer you their training and current form.
Brandon Curry
According to many, it is Curry who will become the new king of professional bodybuilding this year, with the absence of Phil Heath, Shawn Rhoden and Mamdouh Elssbiay !
Brandon made his first appearance on this grand stage in 2011 when he dazzled the judges, and earned a very respectable 8th place for his outstanding form !
He fared much worse in 2013, 2015 and 2016, and his form was not good enough for more than a 16th place split.
The turning point came with the 2017 season, when he again fought his way to an excellent 8th place.
Then last yearwas the season to beat , when Brandon managed to break into the top 5! When he also added a triumph at theArnold Classic this year, he went from an average pro to one of the best bodybuilders on the planet!
Brandon shows you below how his chest and biceps training went 18 days before Mr. Olympia.
Akim Williams
While Brandon has quite a bit of experience on the Mr. Olympia stage, this is only Akim's second time on the stage. He made his debut here in 2015 when he placed 15th.
Even this year, the fighter who qualified for Olympia from the 3rd place of the qualification ranking is not expected to achieve any significant result. Although this fighter has the mass to spare, he lacks the finishing touch that constantly gives him huge problems.
Patrick Moore
Patrick Moore, the 2019 California Pro winner, is set to make his debut at Olympia Weekend.
He would like to break into the top 10, but will he be able to do it? He will soon find out!
Juan Morel
Another one who already has some experience of performing at Mr. Olympia is Juan Morel, who has already performed there three times, in 2014 (10th place), 2015 (11th place) and 2018 (16th place).
This year, Juan would like to follow up his Olympia debut, and break into the top ten again !
Olympia 212 Showdown
As far as fighters with a maximum weight limit of 212 pounds are concerned, the foursome of David Henry, Sami Al Haddad, Adolph Quoida and Aaron Polites will delight us with their current forms.
David Henry
David has been competing at Olympia Weekend since 2005, and in 2008 he became the first ever Olympia Showdown winner, back then with a weight limit of 202 pounds!
Although this highly experienced competitor is already one of those older fighters, and is not counted on to triumph, he will certainly be looking to prove it!
Sami Al Haddad
Sami Al Haddad, winner of this year's Musclecontest Ireland Pro, will make his fourth Olympia Weekend start.
Sami's best result here came in his debut start in 2014 when he finished a very respectable 7th! It is this success that he would like to build on this year.
He also competed here in 2016 and 2018 when he finished 14th and 13th respectively.
Adolph Quoida
Making only his third professional start at Olympia is Adolph Quoida, who qualified here by triumphing at this year's Toronto Pro Supershow.
Aaron Polites
Like Adolph, Aaron Polites will add his Olympia debut to his resume. He was able to qualify for this bodybuilding feast immediately with his debut start among the pros when he managed to dominate the New Zealand Pro!
