Steve Laureus has been busy building muscle in the off season.
Steve Laureus has gained an incredible amount of muscle. The Classic Physique competitor has gone back to the drawing board in hopes of shoring up his weaknesses. One of those weaknesses was being under sized. It appears that he’s been on a mission to rectify that.
Steve Laureus has been touted as a bodybuilder to watch in the Classic Physique division. He has demonstrated his god given talents with numerous victories and some impressive showings at high level shows. Coming in third at the 2020 Arnold Classic, Laureus proved he has a ton of potential, but still needed to make some improvements.
So to the off season Steve Laureus went in hopes of taking his physique to the next level. Having a considerable amount of down time, Laureus has reevaluated the package he needs to bring to the stage. He has the lines and the symmetry. He has a great build that lends itself well to the Classic Physique division. Yet he has been missing one key ingredient to make him a top Olympia contender.
Ultimately for Steve Laureus is all comes down to size. While he has acquired a great amount of musculature, he has still found himself a bit undersized. When you compared his physique to that of Chris Bumstead and Breon Ansley, you could see a noticeable difference. Both Olympia champions had both a massive amount of muscle packed onto their frames while maintaining their classic silhouette.
Understanding that he needed to make a change, Steve Laureus decided to spend his time away from the stage wisely. During his off season he has packed on a tremendous amount of size. In doing so he hopes to stand out more when he makes his return to the stage.
Massive Gains
In a recent Instagram post the Classic Physique competitor joked about his newly acquired size. Steve Laureus has made so much gains that he joked with the idea of heading to the Men’s Open Bodybuilding division.

Talk about bulk season. Steve Laureus hasn’t held back in his muscle building phase. He is looked far larger than the last time we saw him on stage at the 2020 Arnold Classic.
While the size is impressive, it still remains to be seen if the bulk will help or hurt his chances at victory. We won’t know until Laureus begins his cut and once again steps on to a competitive bodybuilding stage.
What do you make of Steve Laureus and his newly built muscle?
