Opinion: Wesley Vissers Will Break the Top 5 at the Olympia

Wesley Vissers impressed at the Chicago Pro.

As the old saying goes, becoming an IFBB Pro is only the first step on the long journey for a professional bodybuilder. Getting to pro status is no easy task, but it’s far easier than having to battle against other champions who have all proven themselves worthy of earning a pro card. The true battle begins after being certified a pro. For newly minted pro Wesley Vissers, the journey seems to be starting off on the right foot.


Taking home a big victory at the Chicago Pro this past weekend, Wesley Vissers has punched his ticket for the Olympia. Now that he has picked up his first big win as a professional, it’s obvious that he has the talent to take things to a whole new level. Wesley Vissers is potentially the dark horse in the Classic Physique division.

While he may have only just turned pro, Wesley Vissers has all the elements necessary to make a big impression at the 2018 Olympia. His size and shape are perfect for the Classic Physique division, but what makes him truly stand out is his posing ability. Vissers has proven himself to be a master at performing classic poses and has the kind of regal poise of an old school bodybuilder. His win at the Chicago Pro only further cements his abilities.

Still can’t fully grasp it but I’m going to the Mr. Olympia!! After winning the classic physique Chicago Pro I’m more motivated than ever to improve. This line-up was tough, really tough. It opened my eyes even more that there are things to be worked on. That’s what makes bodybuilding so exciting, always crafting to perfect yourself. However I showed what classic bodybuilding means to me! Lots of footage coming but I just want to thank everyone for their amazing support!! Let’s do this. #VintageGenetics #StayGolden #ChicagoPro #ClassicPhysique

While many people are focused on Breon Ansley and Chris Bumstead, Wesley Vissers is making his presence known in the Classic Physique division. Presentation can make or break a bodybuilder and Vissers understands this well. His posing could take him far in the division, far enough to challenge the top five. The Olympia is still months away, but is drawing closer with every passing day. Expect to see Wesley Vissers surprise a ton of fans and pundits as he pushes himself into title contention.

Do you think Wesley Vissers can break into the top five?
