With the 2023 Mr. Olympia around the corner, all the participants are super-jacked and are readily flexing their updates online to demonstrate their prep with the fitness community. Joe Weider’s 59th Olympia will be held this year from the 2nd to the 5th of November in Orlando, Florida, at the Orange County Convention Center.

Every athlete is all geared up, some sharing their full day of eating in the off-season before the climax, while others flexing their ripped physique on the Internet. Milos Sarcev has even given his prediction for the win based on the updates shared. The 2022 Mr. Olympia champ, Hadi Choopan, has also been sharing massive updates months away from the 2023 Olympia, destroying 1,102 lbs of hack squat. All the fan pages, too, are constantly up for comparison, and the recent one shook the Internet.
