“I Can’t Even Look at It”: Bodybuilding Icon Admits to Being Embarrassed About His Previous Mr. Olympia Appearance

William Bonac, the 40-year-old bodybuilder is synonymous with perseverance which reflects in his two-decade-long journey in the bodybuilding arena. However, the Ghanaian bodybuilder failed to sport his best physique for 2022 Mr. Olympia and was placed in 9th position in the competition. Unlike his earlier Mr. Olympia participation where he secured any of the top six positions, last year’s performance disappointed him to the core.

Bonac is currently focusing on his family as he decided to take a break from the sport. Now opening up about his physique in the previous Mr. Olympia, he shared his thoughts on a podcast with other bodybuilding legends Milos Sarcev and Chris Cormier. 

William Bonac is embarrassed about his 2022 Mr. Olympia physique

Bonac was invited to the Menace Podcast with Denis James as a special guest where he discussed how he felt about his physique for Mr Olympia, 2022.  James posed a question to Bonac to know his thoughts on his performance. “You went to the Olympia, you didn’t know it was what you wanted to, what happened?” asked James.

Bonac responded quickly saying “I’m so embarrassed brother, like I am so embarrassed to even look at those pictures from Olympia.” Bonac had seen only one of his pictures from the event which he finds to be devastating. He names it to be the worst showcasing of his career and he feels lucky to be placed at least at the 9th position

Narrating how he feels about the pictures from the event, he says, “ I’ve only seen one of them and when somebody likes, mostly when people like fair supporters post a picture of me, I will always post it in my story. But this one, I can’t even look at it, I just don’t even report. I skip it, I skip it,” he says breathlessly.

William Bonac’s health crisis that is affecting his bodybuilding career

The 2018 Arnold Classic winner suffers from an inflammation of his kidney which doesn’t allow him to fully contribute to the sport of bodybuilding. To prevent his health from further deterioration, Bonac stopped taking oral pills. 

Moreover, the legend pulls off his beastly figure irrespective of his hernia. Referring to his medical condition that affected his physique in Mr. Olympia he once said, “As most know my abs shot was always been an issue due to hernia. Despite that we still manage to practice & train the abs to a presentable degree unfortunately I wasn’t able to present the physique we had in mind”. Let’s hope Bonac’s comeback next year would set the stage on fire.
