“I Poured My Heart and Soul”: Reigning Mr. Olympia Hadi Choopan Makes an Astonishing Confession 2.5 Weeks Ahead of Big Day

The reigning champion in the men’s open division, Hadi Choopan, has come a long way. Since his childhood. He dreamt of becoming a bodybuilder, and despite living in crisis, he never let go of his passion for bodybuilding. He used to mimic poses in front of his family. He started working early to provide his family with financial aid. However, while growing up, he managed to build a body like a bodybuilder. Before joining the Pro Creator, he only had two coaches, and for most of his career, trained himself and won several national titles.

The Persian Wolf began training with Hany Rambod in 2017 and won the Mr. Olympia Amateur under his training. Because of the Visa problem, he couldn’t compete in any competition like Arnold Classic and Mr. Olympia in 2018. He waited for his time, and in 2022, he won his first Olympia title. The entire bodybuilding world was stunned by his incredible performance. People are hoping to see something like that this year again.
