Sergio Oliva Jr. rebelled against his father to pursue his passion for bodybuilding. Though the 3x Mr.Olympia legend doesn’t want his son to follow in his footsteps, the Junior turned a deaf ear. And now, after serving a detention period in jail following a car accident case, Oliva Jr. is in the Hulk mood for not being able to compete in bodybuilding events.
He missed the 2023 version of the Arnold Classic South America show, which was held on April 14-16, thanks to the unfortunate case in Dubai. Now a new Instagram post he shared subtly hinted at the reason why he was not being able to compete any time soon.

The Myth’s son was behind bars in Dubai after he was involved in a traffic mishap that killed a person. Though released without any criminal charges, he is still in the city until some legal issues are cleared up. “I can’t do anything until the case is finalized and sent on to the insurance. So now, I’m just waiting for the car insurance people to deal with the case,” he said, per muscle and fitness.com.
The 2x Arnold Classic Best Poser, however, is apparently going restless as he shared his animated video of turning into a Hulk on Instagram. The caption of the post,” Dubai not gonna like me when I’m angry if I can’t get out of here to compete soon,” says it all. He is under travel restrictions due to the accident case as of now.
