Blessing Awodibu appears to have injured his quad during leg day training.
Popular bodybuilder Blessing Awodibu appears to have suffered an injury during a recent leg day. Blessing apparently may have injured his quad while performing hack squats.
The injury bug is something every athlete wishes to avoid like the plague. It’s the one thing that every professional athlete fears the most. It can be detrimental to an athlete’s progress if they are injured in or out of competition. The former is much preferred to the latter seeing as how you can still earn money from competing. If you’re injured in training it can feel like a significant blow. Now Blessing Awodibu is facing an injury of his own when he hoped to make progress in the off season.
After placing outside the top fifteen at the 2022 Olympia, Blessing Awodibu had to go back to the drawing board. With a less than satisfying performance, Blessing even chose to skip the 2023 Arnold Classic. His hope was to build in the off season, make improvements to both his strengths and weaknesses, then make a triumphant return in another show later in the year. That still appears to be the plan, but unfortunately a recent hiccup in leg day training could prove to slow Blessing’s progress a bit.
In a recent training session Blessing Awodibu injured his quad during a rep on the hack squat.

While the injury appeared to be excruciatingly painful, it appears that the bodybuilder is in good spirits. Blessing Awodibu made a follow up post stating that the injury wasn’t as severe as we may have thought.
