Mr. Olympia, the most celebrated bodybuilding event, has concluded. Days after the champions were announced, athletes have returned to their routines, commencing their preparations for the next year. Earlier during the event, after the new winner in the open category was announced, Hadi Choopan abruptly stormed off the stage, an action that received mixed reactions from the public.

Despite this, the bodybuilding industry has rallied behind him, supporting his actions. Despite missing out on the title by a whisker this year, Choopan seems determined to snatch the title next time. Now, the second-place holder has made a strong statement along the same lines.

Hadi Choopan shows a glimpse of his resilience 

On November 11th, Mr. Olympia’s official page shared a snippet of Choopan’s workout regimen. Choopan is performing the cable cross-over exercise to build his chest. This versatile exercise helps stretch your chest muscles like the pec-deck and targets your chest by isolating it, similar to the seated press.

As he gets back to normal life and resumes working out for a strong impactful comeback next year, he has also made an extremely bold statement. “I am a sea shark and a wolf in desert, an eagle at the sky, I wounded, but I will hunt again,” wrote the Persian Wolf. After losing to Lunsford, he was hurt and upset, but remains positive about being crowned again.
