Terrence Ruffin, winner of the Arnold Classic 2021 and 2022, wants to finally dominate Olympia!
Author: Terrence Ruffin is an American bodybuilder who headed to the pros in 2014, thanks to his victory in the under-70kg category at the NPC Nationals. He then combined his professional career with the Classic Physique category.
He has been doing very well in this category for the last three seasons. Not only did he leave the podium last year and this year as the winner of the second most prestigious bodybuilding competition in the world, the Arnold Classic, but in 2020 and 2021 he even managed to take a great second place behind Chris Bumstead at the Classic Physique Olympia, the most prestigious competition in the world.
It was during last year's Olympia that he was on his way to victory, adding some extra volume to his great posing and incredible, almost breathtaking aesthetic.
Commenting on the event himself on his Instagram, where he shared his form 12 weeks before the Classic Physique Olympia 2022 competition yesterday, 29 October, he said:
Last year we had no off-season preparation due to surgery. Then my pre-competition training was cut in half (8 weeks total), John my coach passed away, so I didn't train or eat for over a week during that time...
People often ask me if I was disappointed with my second place finish at the Olympia. But the truth is that I was actually surprised that only one person could beat me!
The John that Terrence mentioned in his post was none other than John Meadows, a former professional bodybuilder, in the last few years also a well respected and sought after trainer, and last but not least the author of Mountain Dog training who left us in the middle of last summer.
Terrence recently reminisced about his mentor, saying:
John taught me so much throughout my bodybuilding career. He was the person I turned to not only for bodybuilding advice, but also for relationship and business advice. He has meant so much not only to me, but to the industry as a whole, and I am honored to help lead his business not only as an athlete, but as a voice in the company. His legacy lives on through all of us!
The only one who managed to beat Terrence last year at Classic Physique Olympia, as he mentioned in his previous post, was the winner of the last three editions, Chris Bumstead, who would like to leave the podium as a winner this year.
However, Terrence is a bit more powerful again this year, as he was able to offer rounder and fuller thighs and pecs at the aforementioned Arnold Classic this year. So, if he was on course to win at last year's Olympia, despite his words above, he certainly has what it takes to dethrone Chris this year!
We will have to wait until December when the Olympia Weekend takes place to find out how it all turns out, but we can already be sure that this division will offer us a very interesting spectacle this year!
