Nick revealed in the video that despite facing unforeseen hurdles “Stephane qualified for last year’s Olympia… But on social media, he’s one of these guys that’s generating quite a bit of hype.” Matala has emerged as a social media sensation, garnering hype and attention from fans and critics alike. However, amidst the admiration lies a tinge of skepticism—will he be another flash in the pan, or is he destined for greatness?

Nick continued and expressed his concerns, “And I don’t want to see him become the next classic physique guy that gets all this attention on social media and then never really delivers.” In addition, Nick believes, ” I think he can do really well. He’s got a fantastic physique in these videos in this perfect lighting. His posing is phenomenal. He looks like he’s the next big thing in classic physique, but it feels like we don’t get to see him compete very often at all.” In just a few months of intense training, Stephane Matala transformed into a bodybuilding powerhouse.

His dedication and hard work earned him a ticket to the IFBB professional league after a standout performance at the 2019 Mr. Olympia Amateur UK competition. Matala sculpted his physique to perfection, fueled by relentless determination. Witnessing Matala’s insane physique, netizens couldn’t help but showcase their admiration for the athlete.
