Brett Wilkin has changed his diet plan during this stage of prep for the 2023 Olympia.

Brett Wilkin continues to rise in the Men’s Open division. He is qualified for the 2023 Olympia and continues to share his prep at different times. Recently, he shared his new 5,000-calorie diet during this stage of prep.

Wilkin won the 2022 Romania Muscle Fest Pro, becoming one of the first competitors to qualify for the 2023 Olympia. Prior to that, he took a break from competing. He was the runner-up in the 2021 Chicago Pro but fell down scorecards a bit in 2022. Wilkin would finish seventh during both the Arnold Classic and Boston Pro that year.

Now, Wilkin is preparing to make some noise on the biggest stage. He will follow this diet plan until about eight weeks out of competition before cutting back and entering the final stages.
