Bodybuilder Neil Currey competed in the IFBB since 2019.

Classic Physique bodybuilder Neil Currey has passed away at 34 years old. RXMuscle reported the news on Monday night, along with Milos Sarcev, who was a former coach of Currey.

Currey began competing at the IFBB level in 2019 and won his only competition in 2022. This is the same year he made his debut at the Mr. Olympia.

“Absolutely shocking, heartbreaking news – that my former athlete @neil_currey died today…taking his own life. ???? My last/best memory of him was this smiling face after he won New York Pro and fulfilled his lifetime dream of qualifying for the Mr. Olympia. I am lost for words and filled with pain and sadness. My sincere condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. RIP Neil and God bless your soul. ????????❤️”

The Career of Neil Currey

Full Name: Neil Curry (Classic Physique Bodybuilder)

Weight Height Age
215-220 lbs 5’10″ 34 years old
Division Era Nationality
Classic Physique 2010s, 2020s British

Born and raised in the UK, Currey developed a passion for fitness at a young age. He found love for football while in school and this is when he began lifting weights. As the years went on, Currey began focusing on his workout routine and diet plan leading to a career in bodybuilding, taking huge inspiration from other bodybuilders such as Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Neil Currey made his bodybuilding debut during the 2017 World Championships when he finished fifth in the pro muscle category. He moved to the NPC level the very next year and finished first during the NPC Worldwide Amateur Olympia Italy competitions, earning his IFBB Pro Card and being able to compete against some of the best bodybuilders in the world.

Currey became a Classic Physique competitor at the IFBB level, making his debut in 2019 with a seventh place finish at the Kuwait Pro, not bad for his first time on the pro stage. He also made an appearance on some of the biggest stages in the sport, such as the Tampa and Pittsburgh Pro competitions. In 2022, Currey won gold at the New York Pro and punched his ticket to his first Olympia competition.

Currey took the stage at the 2022 Olympia and finished 16th in the Classic Physique division.
