Hadi Choopan is already in the USA preparing for Mr. Olympia 2025!

Hadi is undoubtedly one of the most prominent faces of the current professional scene, as evidenced by the 2022 edition when he walked off the stage as Mr. Olympia!

Although he fell short of the title at the following two editions, when Derek Lunsford dethroned him in 2023, and Samson Dauda fought his way past him at last year's edition, he is still the second best bodybuilder on the planet, and would, of course, love to fight for the title again this year!

However, the current global security situation does not exactly lend itself to granting visas to citizens who come from countries with which the US does not have good relations. And let's face it, in June the situation between the US and Iran, where Hadi is from and where he lives, escalated into a US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

So many bodybuilding fans were literally tight as knuckles as to whether Hadi would be able to get a visa so he could hit the ground running for the Mr. Olympia title.
Although this time the visa took much longer than in previous years, it was granted and Hadi was able to travel to the USA and complete his preparation for Mr. Olympia 2025.

Hadi has also already met with his coach and the creator of the very popular FST-7 training system, Hany Rambod, and they have already managed several training sessions.
