Breon Ansley is in full beast mode.

While many eyes were focused on Arash Rahbar and Chris Bumstead at last year’s Classic Physique Olympia showdown, few had mentioned Breon Ansley as an actual viable candidate for the top spot. While those eyes were focused elsewhere, Breon Ansley was bringing his best possible form to the stage with a gusto, going on to seize the Classic Physique Olympia title.

But as the old adage goes, winning the title is one thing, while it’s quite another to defend it. It’s what makes champions like Ronnie Coleman and Phil Heath so great. The ability to stave off the hungry contenders all looking to prove that they deserve the top spot. As such, it appears that Breon is taking the necessary steps to ensure that he defends his title at this year’s Olympia.

Traveling to Kuwait and training at the famed Oxygen Gym, Breon Ansley is looking prepared to take on all challengers as he pushes his training to the absolute limit weeks out from the big show.

Feeling pressure comes from not being prepared and not willing to do what it takes to prepare!! When we confirm that our preparation gets an A+ grade; then some might call it PARADISE!!NO PRESSURE?!!!!??#4thedamnWIN #theblackswan @oldschoollabs #themusclefactory @mrolympiallc @o2_gyms @chriscormier2 @roellywinklaar @bader_boodai
