“It’s weird. Now I’m an Instagram bodybuilder apparently so if you compete almost every year, gain like 100+ pounds in your career but then if you take a year off you’re an Instagram bodybuilder because you don’t really compete and people’s memories.”
“If I did a show every year like some guys who never get any better, then it’s like you need to figure something out because it’s not working. Then god forbid, you take a year off go to a different country, train, and focus on yourself, now I’m Blessing.”
Sergio Oliva Jr. continues to focus on improving his physique in order to bring home another victory. If he is able to make it to the shows, there will be plenty of eyes watching to see how he looks on stage.
