Hadi Choopan Does Insane Squat Training! Could He be Prepping for the Olympia?

Hadi Choopan appears to be in full beast mode.

The current times are filled with uncertainty for the future of competitive sports. While the UFC has been able to put on events pretty consistently, cancellation of bodybuilding events like the Boston Pro has given pause to many fans and competitors.

Despite that it appears that the 2020 Olympia is still moving forward. Even veteran seven-time Olympia champion Phil Heath has announced return. That lends confidence to the show moving forward as planned, though you never know with the global health crisis still raging.

Assuming things move forward without a hitch, there’s been a question on the minds of many bodybuilding fans. Will Hadi Choopan compete at this year’s show?

With many believing Hadi Choopan had what it took to win the 2019 Olympia, his potential absence at this year’s show would be unfortunate.

While it’s uncertain if he’ll compete this year, one thing is for sure: Hadi Choopan is training extremely hard.

In his recent Instagram posts, Hadi Choopan has taken his training to the next level. If he isn’t competing this year it sure looks like he could with this intense training.

Hadi Choopan has also been working his upper body with some massive weight.

With his training going this well it will be awesome to see Hadi Choopan contend against the other top athletes in the open bodybuilding division. Choopan was included in the qualified list for the 2020 Olympia due to placing third at the 2019 show. That said, we’ll still have to wait and see if he’ll be able to travel to the US for the December competition.
