There seems to be a tremendous amount of talk about the who’s who of the sport of bodybuilding at the present time. With the Arnold Classic now somewhat of a distant afterthought, people are looking to Pittsburgh, they’re looking to New York, they’re looking towards the Olympia, but what they’re forgetting is who placed second at last year’s Mr Olympia. And that would be Hadi Choopan. Hadi is a past Olympia champion and somebody that has also won the Arnold Classic but because of the competitiveness of the sport and the fact that fans constantly want instantaneous gratification, very few people are talking about this legendary champion.
In fact, he’s not even really being talked about in virtual comparisons because of the fact that so many people have written him off to a certain extent. For one he is from Iran, which is not a country that has the best relations with the United States or the West at-large. That being said, as of the last few years he has never had an issue getting a visa and getting himself over to Las Vegas, Nevada. That right there is noteworthy at the very least. But what is also noteworthy is the fact that he has progressed over the last few years even since he won and lost the Sandow. And that I think is what you can take all the way to the bank.
