What does Hadi need to improve to win the Mr. Olympia 2025 title?

The bodybuilding world is watching the preparations for Mr. Olympia 2025 with excitement and the question of who will take the throne is hotter than ever. Hadi Choopan, known for his incredible fitness and symmetry, is undoubtedly one of the favourites. But what does the "Persian Wolf" have to do to fight his way back to the top and win his second Sandow? None less than head judge Steve Weinberger weighed in, offering valuable advice.

From Steve Weinberger: The road to victory for Hadi Choopan

Steve Weinberger, an icon among judges and a key figure behind the scenes at Mr. Olympia, let it be known that Hadi Choopan is as dangerous as any other competitor. However, even the champion has room for improvement, and Weinberger knows exactly where the reserves are.

According to Weinberger, Hadi Choopan needs to focus on a few key areas for 2025 to make his character absolutely flawless:

• Thigh width (sweep on the thighs): Weinberger emphasizes the need to improve the "sweep" (arch, arching) of the thighs. This means that the muscles on the outside of the thighs (vastus lateralis) should be even fuller and rounder to create a more pronounced arch and give the legs an even more impressive appearance. It's a detail that distinguishes good legs from absolutely perfect ones.
• Back width: The next point is the width of the back. Hadi may have a thick back, but Weinberger would like to see even more range and "widening" in the upper back to make the V-tap silhouette even more striking and dominate the stage.
• The "cap" on the deltoid muscles: Last but not least, the deltoid muscles (shoulders) are an equally important detail. Weinberger recommends improving the "cap" on the deltoids, which means a fuller and rounder shoulder shape that gives the upper body a three-dimensional and dominant look, especially in side poses.

Who will be Hadi's biggest threat?

But the road to the top won't be easy. Hadi Choopan will have to face stiff competition. Derek Lunsford and Samson Dauda are just some of the titans that will stand in his way. Even Nick Walker, who is returning to the scene after an injury, considers Choopan his biggest threat, which is a testament to the respect Hadi has earned in the bodybuilding world.

Weinberger's analysis clearly shows that although Hadi Choopan is a phenomenon, the path to another Mr. Olympia title is through meticulous attention to detail and constant improvement. If Hadi works on these points, his return to the Mr. Olympia throne in 2025 may be inevitable
