Sergio Oliva Jr is seeking some sage advice.

Getting to your final form as a bodybuilder is no simple task. It requires a tremendous amount of patience and dedication in order to excel. At the higher levels it takes proper dieting and training, perhaps even by outside forces that will critique your physique in ways that you yourself wouldn’t be able to. While some individuals don’t believe in hiring trainers to take them to the next level, in high level bodybuilding all options must be take into consideration. This is the mindset that Sergio Oliva Jr has adapted in choosing to train under the legend Tom Platz.

Only recently breaking into the pro circuit, Sergio Oliva Jr last competed at the NY Pro where he took top honors in the Open Weight division. While he may have qualified for the Olympia with the win, Sergio Oliva Jr believed that he must put everything into his preparation before taking to the stage against the greatest bodybuilders in the world.

That’s where Tom Platz comes in.

Tom Platz was a truly tremendous bodybuilder with a great deal of knowledge. With all that wealth of knowledge at his disposal, Sergio Oliva Jr is hoping to glean what he can from the legend in order to perfect his physique ahead of his 2018 campaign. Check out the official announcement on Sergio’s Instagram page.

??ANNOUNCEMENT????Some people are worried about followers and likes from strangers on social media. Sorry that’s just not me. I want the respect from the greats before me and my peers. PERIOD!….Making money will come when I accomplish my goal. I’m not worried about money anyone can make money. Garbage men make like 6 figures. You can’t buy Royalty. I’m here to win titles and etch my name in the history books. I want to represent the Golden Era and the lineage I come from. That’s why I’m so happy to announce my new roommate and trainer Tom Platz @platzinum. Never in the sport has something happened like this before. I’m going to eat,sleep, and train like the “Golden Eagle”. Stay tuned for up coming footage of me getting my ass destroyed while also learning and shaping myself for the future. #YoureMakingVideosImMakingMoves #LegDay #TeamVictory #GoldenEagle #5More #Legacy #NoOneRemembersLikesIn10Years #QuadFather @tomplatz_ @victoryclothinginc
