Hadi Choopan and Hany Rambod appear already be prepping for the 2021 Olympia.
The 2020 Olympia saw the crowning of a new Olympia. Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay was able to capture the title with a vastly improved physique and conditioning. Brandon Curry came in a close second, beating out the returning Phil Heath. In turn the seven-time Mr. Olympia was able to place third over Hadi Choopan who many believed should have placed higher.
Receiving his visa at the last minute, Hadi Choopan gave an impressive showing at the 2020 Olympia. It comes as no surprise that many considered him to be underrated at the show.
With 2020 in the books, it appears that the Iranian bodybuilder isn’t resting on his laurels. Rather than slow things down, Hadi Choopan appears to already looking forward to 2021.
A recent Instagram post by Hany Rambod, one of Choopan’s main coaches, showcases the trainer with the bodybuilder expressing their intentions for 2021.

It’s clear that Hadi Choopan has the tools necessary to challenge for the top three in the world. If he can maintain his conditioning at next year’s show while adding muscle, there’s a good chance that Choopan could be the dark horse of the contest. If Big Ramy’s win demonstrated one thing it’s that anything is possible at the Olympia.
Do you think Hadi Choopan will be top three at the 2021 Olympia?
