Vancouver Pro showcased a top veteran and new blood.
It’s easy for people in bodybuilding to completely discredit new talent entering into the sport. For one, they have no idea what it’s like to share the stage with the best of the best and hope for a major victory. The preparation at the professional levels of the sport is a whole other ball game than the amateurs. Yet despite that it appears Regan Grimes is acquitting himself well on the pro stage. After taking second to Michael Lockett a few things became certain: Regan Grimes has a bright future ahead of him.
The young Regan Grimes, he’s only competed in two pro shows and he’s already being compared to competitors like Michael Lockett. His proportions and musculature is very reminiscent of the Olympia champ Phil Heath. While it’s too early in his career to tell if he’ll be an Olympia champion, it’s certainly fair to say that he has a bright future and cracking the top five at the Olympia is something that will surely become a reality.
That’s a ton of praise to heap on a young man so early into his career, but when you consider that Phil Heath was once a prospect, the idea of Regan Grimes becoming a world beater isn’t all that insane. Everyone will have their own opinions as to whether or not the young talent will go far. But the evidence so far all points in the same direction. Regan Grimes has what it takes to be a dominant champion.
