Jeremy Buendia is looking ready to defend his title.

With only a few more days until the big show, all the competitors are making their final preparations and looking to dial in their diet and conditioning to bring the best version of themselves to the Olympia stage. Champions and challengers alike have been putting in a ton of work over the last year in order to ready themselves for the 2018 Olympia and the hard work is starting to show.

But the road hasn’t necessarily been easy for every competitor leading into the Olympia. While some have just trained year round without any extremely major setbacks, Men’s Physique Olympia champion Jeremy Buendia was faced with some pretty rough adversity. After tearing his pec and undergoing surgery and recovery, Jeremy Buendia had lost a good amount a size, so much so that fans and pundits wondered if he’d be able to defend his crown at the 2018 Olympia.

Now with only a few days away, it’s become clear that not only is Jeremy Buendia more than ready to defend his crown, but he could be in the best shape of his career. Take a look at his most recent and final Instagram update before the big show.
