Rafael Brandao has punched his ticket to the Olympia.
Getting to the Olympia stage is no simple task. In fact most bodybuilders will never have the opportunity of stepping on stage with the best of the best. Those that make it to the Olympia stage have set themselves apart as one of the one percent who stand above all others.
Rafael Brandao is now one of the one percent.
With his showing at the Europa Pro, Rafael Brandao was able to qualify for the Olympia. But while we all have seen the end result of his hard work, it’s the training behind the scenes that earned him an Olympia ticket.
Training with former 212 kingpin Flex Lewis helped take the Brazilian bodybuilder to the next level. With Flex Lewis looking to make his Open Bodybuilding debut, the two pushed each other to get to the next level. The training Rafael Brandao put in while at the Dragon’s Lair clearly paid off at the Europa Pro.
With his qualification Rafael Brandao has set himself apart from the pack. How do you think Rafael Brandao will do at the Olympia?
