Brandon Lirio Gives Physique Update 9 Weeks Out From Natural Olympia

Brandon Lirio shares update 9 weeks out from the Natural Olympia competition.

INBA PNBA Classic Physique bodybuilder Brandon Lirio gave a recent physique update 9 weeks out from his next show. The Natural Olympia champion posted the update on social media showcasing an impressive and shredded form.

A lighter weight bodybuilder focused on maintaining a lean yet powerful physique, Brandon Lirio has proven to be one of the best natural competitors out there. While bodybuilding could be his sole focus and pursuit, Lirio also focuses on other strength sports as well. Training and competing in both powerlifting and strongman, Lirio has taken his gains to whole new heights. This kind of cross training has helped him gain a tremendous amount of strength which in turn has helped his bodybuilding gains.

Big Strength Gains

By undergoing this strongman and powerlifting journey, Brandon Lirio has expanded his already proven base of strength. The kind of strength gains he’s making through heavy training will allow him to lift more when he’s focused solely on bodybuilding style training.

Working on some endurance in the high rep ranges here between deadlifts and stones. This was after about 7 sets of atlas stones so I was REALLY surprised it moved so smooth.

Now with 9 weeks until his next show, The Natural Olympia, Brandon Lirio is getting serious about his preparation. It appears that he’s putting the powerlifting and strongman training on hold to focus on the competition. He’ll face off against the best natural bodybuilders in the world and he’ll need all the focus he can muster if he hopes to win the Natural Classic Physique title.

Physique Update

In his most recent update to social media Brandon Lirio posted an image of himself striking a strong pose. From what we can see Lirio seems ready to kick things into full gear and get his prep underway.

Alright… time to get serious. 9 weeks to go.
