Dennis James speaks with former Mr Olympia competitor and MyCookieDealer Juan Morel about growing up in Manhattan, NY, and what made him decide to be a bodybuilder.
As a young man Juan began to buy bodybuilding magazines, and saw competitors such as Ronnie Coleman, Kevin Levrone and Flex Wheeler flexing their muscles at Mr Olympia. He wanted to be just like them, and he “wanted to see how big” he could get. His first show as an amateur was in 2007, he turned pro in 2011, and he has stood on the Olympia stage five times. What it takes to run a business post-competition and maintain a healthy relationship. Whether he would compete again and what it would take for him to compete again.
Predictions for Olympia 2021 days before the actual Olympia?
Top five or six plus Roelly Winklaar, Nick Walker, Akim Williams and whoever comes in with the best prep.
