Keone Pearson Looks Ultra Impressive As He Preps for 212 Debut

Keone Pearson is looking in impressive shape during quarantine.

There’s really no telling when regular competitions will start up again, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to go on vacation. Any bodybuilder worth their salt is still training hard in quarantine. An IFBB pro makes money on their physique. With that in mind a competitor must continue to train even in the most dire times.

It’s the kind of mindset Keone Pearson has adopted during this health crisis.

Once contending in the Classic Physique division, Keone Pearson has decided to switch categories. The young up and comer is looking to switch to the 212 division.

While he impressed in the Classic Physique division, Keone Pearson clearly has a frame that would do well in the 212 category. Hoping to make his debut in the division later this year, it appears those plans could be on hold. But while the potential for his debut in 2020 may be waning, Keone Pearson is sticking to the game plan.

With PJ Braun supervising his growth, Keone Pearson is continuing his transformation into a 212 competitor. His current physique looks truly impressive ahead of his debut.

No gym for 5 days . Eating 6 meals a day. 0 cardio . Still floating around 208lbs but @pjbraunfitness came with a game plan for me to break through this weight plateau. So this will be fun!!

The quarantine may be slowing the progress of many a bodybuilder, but when there’s a will there’s a way. Keone Pearson is looking more and more like a 212 competitor. When he finally gets the chance to step on stage there’s little doubt that he won’t impress in his debut.

What do you think of Keone Pearson transitioning to 212 and his current physique?
