Pearson has emerged as a star in bodybuilding in a short amount of time. His pro career, beginning in 2016, started in Classic Physique before making the move to 212. He spent a few years in the division before going head-to-head and defeating Shaun Clarida. Pearson is now the new face of the 212 division after winning back-to-back Olympia titles.

Keone Pearson’s Latest Physique Update
Pearson hit a posing session after a workout and looked as big as ever. His conditioning is top notch, making him the favorite once again to hoist the 212 Olympia trophy this weekend.
“Chipping away with my team 🔪”
Many competitors have made the jump up in division and that could be the road map for Pearson moving forward. Pearson could follow the path of Derek Lunsford, who won his first 212 Olympia title in 2021 before making the big jump to Men’s Open. Two years later, Lunsford became the first bodybuilder to win an Olympia title in two divisions, being crowned the 2023 Mr. Olympia. If Pearson is next in line, it will not be soon as he claims to have work to do before making the jump.
Pearson will bring more attention to the Prague Pro this year. In 2024, Classic Physique champion Chris Bumstead made his Men’s Open debut in Prague and finished as the runner-up in the biggest division. Pearson will get plenty of attention when he takes the stage against the big boys. If he is able to win the show, it will be interesting to see if he eventually makes the move full time and at the Olympia.
