Phil Heath’s 2022 Mr. Olympia Predictions: Hadi Choopan & Brandon Curry Can Beat Big Ramy
7x Mr. Olympia bodybuilding champ Phil Heath believes Hadi Choopan has the slight edge over Brandon Curry to possibly beat Big Ramy at The 2022 Mr. Olympia.
7x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath has revealed his initial predictions for the 2022 Mr. Olympia. In a recent video interview, Heath goes into detail about the current Olympia lineup and predicts that both Hadi Choopan and Brandon Curry have potential to defeate Big Ramy “if he leaves the door open.” Heath ultimately gives a slight edge to Choopan based on what he’s seen recently.
While it still might be a bit early to be making predictions for the 2022 Mr. Olympia, when a 7x Mr. Olympia legend speaks – you start to listen. In prep for his upcoming commentary duties this year, Phil Heath took part in an extensive interview discussing the current Olympia lineup and who has the most potential to win the trophy. He gives a deep analysis of Big Ramy and also his thoughts on the few who could possibly disrupt his reign.
There has been much talk about the rising tide of young bodybuilders finally coming into their own. Nick Walker has been the most hyped rising star – with some even believing the can take the entire Olympia title this year. Other notable mentions are Hunter Labrada, Andrew Jacked, and newcomer Michal Krizo – who has yet to earn his IFBB Pro card but is hyped by many including Jay Cutler.
However, at this moment, Phil Heath still believes that the old guard will hold onto their positions this year. Heath acknowledges the strong and deep talent of the young rising stars – but believes that last year’s top three will still be the ones to bring the most heat. Specifically, he believes that Hadi Choopan and Brandon Curry are the two best bets to win the 2022 Mr. Olympia – that is if Big Ramy slips up.

Phil Heath’s predictions on who can defeat Big Ramy at the 2022 Mr. Olympia
Phil Heath starts off discussing Big Ramy himself – who he still believes is the top contender to win the Mr. Olympia this year. He only believes that Ramy will fall behind if he “leaves the door open.” What does he mean by that? Not making enough improvements. Heath – like many other bodybuilders – acknowledges that the judges expect a returning Olympia champion to not only look the same but look even better than the previous year. If Ramy can’t pull that off, he leaves the door open for others to slip in.
This led to Phil Heath being asked who could possibly take down Big Ramy if he left that door open. Heath sticks with consistency and looks towards the top placings last year – Hadi Choopan and Brandon Curry.
“You gotta go with the top three. You got to go with Brandon and Hadi. That was who was in the mix last year. I would say based on what I saw recently, Hadi. I’m not biased because I’ve worked with Hany. That dude has some serious muscle. All it takes is for Ramy to slip. We saw that happen last year. He wasn’t better than when he won his first one.”
However, Phil Heath also points out that there is a world of difference between seeing a physique in person versus in photos or video. Heath hasn’t seen every single of the top contenders in person – which he admits creates a wild card in his predictions.
“Usually, if you leave the door open for two years, things can happen right. This is what sucks by not being there live and just seeing pictures and some video. I haven’t seen Nick Walker in person. I’ve not seen him compete in person. Of course, you’re going to lean towards him being a disruptor. No question about it. I believe he is the youngest disruptor out of anyone in the world.”
Phil Heath points out Nick Walker as having real potential to disrupt this year’s Mr. Olympia. But he falls short of saying he could win – in part because he has not seen Walker in person himself.
Phil Heath shares his opinion of Michal Krizo’s physique
Phil Heath also touches base on the latest hyped athlete of the season – Michal Krizo. Originally an IFBB Elite Pro competitor, Krizo recently announced he would be moving to the IFBB Pro league. He has yet to earn his pro card but the hype is so strong with him that some believe he will become pro and qualify for Mr. Olympia in time to compete in 2022.
While Heath sees why Krizo has earned the hype, he also thinks that it’s too soon to really expect him to do any major damage this year. Phil Heath believes that Michal Krizo still has some holes in his physique.
“What I saw, he [Michal Krizo] looked great. When he was at Gold’s Venice and Jay was with him and stuff, I thought he looked really good, but I do see holes in the physique. I see holes in everything right. I think he definitely needs to work on his presentation. Even when you research his contest videos, he can’t hold poses very long. Just look at the tape.”
It’s fantastic to see Phil Heath really take on the role of a bodybuilding analyst (and future commentator) for the sport of bodybuilding. His thoughtful analysis of the current lineup of competitors is exactly the kind of conversation that helps raise the stakes for the upcoming Mr. Olympia.
That being said, Phil Heath may be commentating this year – but that doesn’t mean he won’t be returning to compete again. He has been silent about any plans but a recent post claiming, “I ain’t done yet. I’m just getting started,” gives fans hope that he will hit the stage again in the future.

Lee Haney: “America Now Has A Sick Society Of Young People” | The Mike O’Hearn Show
[embedded content]
Mike O’Hearn speaks with Lee Haney about the health crisis in bodybuilding (and beyond) for younger individuals who desperately try to catch up in older age.
Lee Haney needs no introduction. He is a 8x Mr. Olympia champion, a world record only tied by Ronnie Coleman. Haney represents the absolute elite in pre-mass monster bodybuilding history. He has also gone on to dedicate his life towards fitness and health for new generations – becoming appointed as chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports by Bill Clinton. So what does Haney feel about bodybuilding today with the many young deaths plaguing the sport? In Generation Iron and Barbend‘s latest episode of The Mike O’Hearn Show, special guest Lee Haney expresses the urgency of being healthy as young as possible – instead of waiting until mid-life.
Mike O’Hearn considers Lee Haney more than a role model for him in bodybuilding. He calls him a leader of the pack showcasing what was possible. To say that O’Hearn was inspired into bodybuilding by Haney is an understatement. But more than just the massive muscle and elite trophies – Haney’s focus on health in bodybuilding are what stuck with O’Hearn the most.
Lee Haney has always said, “Stimulate, not annihilate” when it comes to bodybuilding and fitness. Those words carry much more weight today – as the conversation about health in bodybuilding has reached a pinnacle point. There has been much discussion about the dangerous level of drugs and PEDs modern athletes use. As well as the dangerous levels of weight and size champion bodybuilders achieve these days (leaning closer to 300 pounds in weight). It is the exact opposite direction that Haney took bodybuilding.
With a vast background in fitness education, and personal experience as a champion bodybuilder to boot, Lee Haney sits down with Mike O’Hearn to talk about the importance of educating young people in today’s society. Not only for aspiring bodybuilders – but for the entire culture at large.
Lee Haney believes that young people are more unhealthy today believing that they can make up for it in middle age. Both Haney and Mike O’Hearn want to express the urgency that this is not the proper course. Let’s jump into it.
“America now has a sick society of young people because we are not taking care of teaching them the basic fundamentals of good nutrition and exercise.”
Lee Haney dispels the common thinking of being invulnerable during youth
Lee Haney stands out from other bodybuilding champions in one major way. He knew his hard limits while pushing the boundaries of what his body can do. So instead of going the eventual path of mass monsters like Dorian Yates or Ronnie Coleman after him – he focused on lighter weight and more volume. In a previous interview, Haney admitted that his frame couldn’t handle a training and diet regimen like Ronnie Coleman. Despite this, he was still able to rise up and become a world record holding Olympia champion.
Perhaps it was simply a different era, but Lee Haney exemplifies having your cake and eating it too. He was able to focus on longevity and health during his prime bodybuilding years. He was also able to become a 8x Mr. Olympia champion. Many athletes today believe that the only way to succeed in the sport is through heavy PED cycles and massive weight. Lee Haney avoided that while also succeeding.
As Lee Haney sees it, not only has bodybuilding today become more unhealthy – but the entire culture of America has become unhealthier. Part of this is due to systems outside of young people’s control. Processed foods became far more popular. Fast food is now around every corner. And if you happen to have little money – this are the cheapest options to keep yourself fed.
However, Lee Haney also believes that mentality has shifted. The basic fundamentals of fitness and health education are not being stressed enough. Due to this – many young folk believe they can live fast while they are young and worry about health when they get older. This is problematic thinking. That’s like building a house first and then handling the foundation later.
“We looked at statistics showing that, you know, this new generation, and I’m saying it now, they’re not living past 50 years old. Because of fast foods. Because of not taking ownership of their health. They’re dying prematurely.”
The growing problem with heart disease at younger ages.
While Lee Haney doesn’t reference drugs specifically, he does point out that heart disease is one of the leading causes of pre-mature death. This holds true not just in bodybuilding but in the American culture at large.
“And as a lot of guys are finding out… is that a lot of us our sick from heart disease. Well my ticker is perfect. My arteries are nice and clean by way of my bloodwork because I never used steak in my preparation off season or on.”
Lee Haney focuses here on nutrition as a whole. What we put in our bodies will have a long term effect on our health. Mostly in ways we can never really notice until it is too late. This is true for PEDs and steroids as well. But Haney here focuses on items such as red meat and processed foods often consumed during the offseason.
Young bodybuilders often want to try and do whatever it takes to be the best and worry about long term health later. The problem is – no amount of money can make up for years of unhealthy habits while you are young. The tragic irony is that young people often feel very health even as they eat junk. It’s not until they are older when the real issues occure.
“So bringing kids up in the way that they should go and managing age should begin with good nutrition. And managing age doesn’t mean just as you grow older, it means even when you are in the bodybuilding level of just getting started, to intermediate, to advanced bodybuilding.”

Wrap Up
Lee Haney is more than just an old bodybuilder complaining about a new generation he doesn’t understand. He is a well educated man who, to this day, still teaches health and fitness education to individuals. Through both personal experience and his education – he has valuable insights into how the new generation should alter course for longevity in bodybuilding and beyond.

This Is How Many Exercises Per Muscle Group Are Ideal For Gains
Knowing how many exercises to do and how to formulate a good training plan can greatly affect your gains.
Your workouts and how you plan them are important. Putting together a workout plan can be incredibly challenging and something you may actually dread. But once you get the right exercises into a routine, its time to bite down and get into the nitty gritty of it all. Knowing how many exercises per muscle group to do can seem nearly impossible, but think again. Taking the right approach and knowing what you need will allow you to see those gains you want most since more attention can be paid to the fine tuned details of a solid workout plan.
Let’s take a look at how we can formulate the best training plan. With the right exercises strategically placed into your routine, you are well on your way to getting the most out of each and every workout. Stop thinking that its impossible because it very much is the realm of you doing so effortlessly. You just need to know exactly how to get there and we’re here to help. From knowing what you want, to planning your week, and playing with sets, reps, volume, and frequency, taking these steps can ensure the right approach is met hassle free.
Knowing What You Want
Knowing what you want is key because your gains may differ from someone else or even what you have done in the past. You might be looking to bulk up and increase that strength and size, which requires a certain number of exercises in your routine on each day. For those seeking more of an endurance approach, this will take a different direction so you can see those gains you want most from a conditioning side. Knowing what you want is very important because it will affect the approach you take when it comes to your goals, and ultimately, your gains.
Planning Out Your Week
Looking at your week and planning around your schedule is important because your life can get busy and your workout should be a release from the stress, not an addition to it. But planning out your week also involves pairing together certain muscle groups so you can get the most out of your gains. A very common approach to this is taking those pushing muscles, being your chest, shoulders, and triceps, and pairing them together to keep the movements similar. That means your back and biceps, those vital pulling muscles, will be paired together. Your legs are fine getting work done alone since you have many muscles to attend to in your lower half.
So, if we took this approach for example, a five day week structure would look something like Days 1 and 4 would be chest, triceps, and shoulders, while Days 2 and 5 would work your biceps and back. Day 3 would be leg day which will also give your upper body muscles a nice break.
Sets Vs. Reps & Volume Vs. Frequency
Let’s talk about sets vs. reps and volume vs. frequency. Now we’re getting into the meat of why you’re here. Certain exercises may be more beneficial with a certain number of sets and reps, but the volume and frequency at which you perform them can also affect your gains (1). For those seeking more strength based goals, lower sets and lower reps with less exercises will promote those gains. This is because you can pack on the weight and work to lift much heavier reps with more rest time (2).
For those seeking a more endurance based approach, higher sets and higher reps will get your heart rate going so you can increase lean muscle while also getting a good sweat going. You will use lower weight for each exercise but since you will program in more exercises, you can achieve this goal of endurance more easily this way.
Featured Supplement For Serious Gains
To capitalize on gains, it is important to match your workouts with a great supplementation routine. Whether that be a protein powder, pre-workout, or intra-workout supplement, or something like creatine, you can work to tackle any muscle building and bulking needs.
A mass gainer can pump you with vital macronutrients to really increase strength and size. Added ingredients work to help with digestion so you absorb all those vital nutrients as effectively as possible.

Wrap Up
Finding the right exercises and how many to do for each muscle group can be challenging but it is absolutely possible. Knowing just what you need to do in order to maximize your gains does take some time and research but can greatly affect the outcome of all your goals when you put your mind to it. It is vital to know what you want out of each workout, whether that be strength, endurance, or something else, because that will affect how you program your workout. Higher sets and higher reps can boost conditioning, while lower sets and lower reps can boost strength with more weight. It is up to you, so knowing your goals can influence just how many exercises you do to boost your gains.

WATCH: ‘Kai’ Official Release Trailer | The Life Story Of Bodybuilder Kai Greene
[embedded content]
Witness the inside story of bodybuilding’s biggest modern legend – Kai Greene.
We are exactly one day away from the release of Kai on digital. Available on August 26, 2022 – the film will be the first comprehensive and official look into the life story of bodybuilding legend Kai Greene. To celebrate the launch, Generation Iron Network has released one final trailer for the film – which you can watch above. You can also pre-order the film today right here.
Kai Greene may be one of the most exciting and mysterious bodybuilders to ever exist in the history of the sport. His powerful physique speaks for itself and is among one of the best in modern bodybuilding – if not bodybuilding as a whole. But his artistry took that physique to the next level bringing him fame beyond the sport and into the mainstream arena.
However, despite being so large in the public eye, Kai Greene’s life and past have always been a mystery. The large strokes are known by most. During childhood, without a father in the picture, Kai was taken away from his mother by child services and he became a ward of the state. He grew up in orphanages only to eventually be arrested and sent to juvenile detention. It’s there where he was introduced to bodybuilding. He left juvy, became a male stripper for a short while, and eventually rose in the ranks to be a champion bodybuilder.
But many intimate questions remained. What was his experience like in juvenile detention? What was life as an exotic dancer like? How did he receive the massive scar on his face? And what’s up with that grapefruit video? Up until now, the closes we have been to learning of this past was in the form of an experimental stage show called BELIEVE.
Kai promises to answer all of this questions. For the first time ever, after dozens of hours of interview footage, Kai Greene has fully opened up above his entire life story. From his days as a child in a troubled home, through juvenile detention, and into pro bodybuilding. The film also follows up with Kai in the present – as he attempts to publish his graphic novel – The Chronicles Of King Kai.
The Kai Greene documentary is not just a deep insight into a bodybuilding legend for fans of the sport. It’s a dramatic life story that promises to resonate with anyone from all walks of life.
Kai also features Victor Martinez, Rich Gaspari, Mike O’Hearn, George Farah, and longtime rival Phil Heath – all speaking in brand new interviews.
From The Producer Of The Last Dance
In addition to being produced by The Vladar Company and Generation Iron Network – producer Matt Maxson is also attached to the Kai Greene documentary – who is best known for producing The Last Dance.
Emmy nominated Producer Matt Maxson’s The Last Dance starring Michael Jordan took the world by storm in 2020 – becoming one of the most talked about TV events of the year on ESPN and Netflix. He now took his producing talents to the world of bodybuilding and fitness with his involvement in the Kai documentary feature.
Matt Maxon’s other producing credits include Andre The Giant and The Circus: Inside The Greatest Political Show On Earth. Before producing, he spent five years working in production at HBO Sports where he worked on the network’s documentary series 24/7 which garnered 18 Emmy Awards.
The Last Dance received critical acclaim, with praise for its directing and editing. It won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 96% based on 53 reviews. The documentary series provided the most in-depth look at Michael Jordan’s career with the Chicago Bulls where he played alongside other legendary players such as Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and coach Phil Jackson.
Kai is directed by Vlad Yudin (Generation Iron, Ronnie Coleman: The King) and produced by both Yudin and Edwin Mejia Jr. (Generation Iron, Ronnie Coleman: The King). It will be executive produced by Matt Maxon, David Gendron, Russ Riggins, and Viviana Zarragoitia.
Kai will be available on all major digital platforms on August 26, 2022. You can order your digital copy today right here or by clicking the banner below.
Pro Bodybuilder Petar Klancir Gives Update Post Bicep Tendon Surgery
Images via Instagram @ifbb_pro_petar_klancir
After rupturing his bicep tendon and dropping out of the 2022 season, bodybuilder Petar Klancir gives a post-surgery update
On August 4, 2022, Petar Klancir announced that he would be dropping out of the 2022 bodybuilding season due to a ruptured bicep tendon. With something as serious as a bicep tendon rupture – it was unclear what his bodybuilding future held. On August 23, Klancir provided a positive update announcing that he had received surgery and expects to be returning to training soon.
Petar Klancir is a much hyped bodybuilder who has had a bit of a rollercoaster of a career as of late. Despite these struggles – his impressive physique has made fans hopeful for a truly threatening package on the bodybuilding stage. He first caught attention in 2017 at the San Marino Pro showcasing a fantastic combination of conditioning and symmetry.
Unfortunately, Petar Klancir ran into visa issues in the past that has kept him out of many competitions that he was originally hoping to take part in. In 2022, he managed to compete in both the California State Pro and the Mr. Big Evolution Pro – where he earned fifth and third place respectfully.
Fans were hoping to see Petar Klancir compete in the Mr. Olympia. Unfortunately, the announcement of his bicep injury not only took him out of the rest of 2022 but also put his long term future in jeopardy as well. Which is why it is a relief that Klancir has provided a new announcement of a successful surgery. You can see his post below:
“First of all I would like to thank you for all the support, kind words and positive energy you gave me?Surgery was a success! Biceps tendon ruptured at the grip point so it was just screwed back to the position. I had the best @akromionhospital surgical team beside me, Prof. Čičak made an excellent work so I will have speedy recovery. In a few days I will be back on training ground focusing on legs and abs. ??”
What is good news to hear is that Petar Klancir expects to have a speedy recovery. The surgery went smoothly and he even believes that he will be back to training his legs and abs in just a few days. Of course, this will still be limited training. It’s good news that Klancir will be able to train the other parts of his body while his bicep heals. Unfortunately, with an injury like this it is unclear how soon he will be able to train at full speed.
Despite the good news, 2022 is likely still out of the question for seeing Petar Klancir on the bodybuilding stage. However, things could have been far worse. A successful surgery is a good sign for long term recovery – and his confidence of returning to training means that he is still looking towards a future where he can compete against the best of the world on at the Mr. Olympia.
While this setback is yet another setback after an already rocky bodybuilding career – Petar Klancir is more than ready to face the challenges. You might be able to temporarily take the man out of bodybuilding. But you can’t take the bodybuilding out of the man.
Generation Iron wishes Petar Klancir a speedy recovery – and we look forward to being able to report on his future endeavors in the sport as he returns to the gym and the stage. Stay tuned to the Generation Iron Fitness Network for more news and updates on all things bodybuilding, fitness, and strength sports.
