With the 2022 Mr. Olympia proper across the nook, the world’s bodybuilding elite will begin to pull out all of the training and nutritional stops within the last steps of their preparations. A flagship competitors like this necessitates an athlete placing their greatest foot ahead to attempt to notch the very best outcome. Lengthy-time Males’s Open and Olympia veteran William “The Conqueror” Bonac isn’t any completely different.
On Nov. 1, 2022, Bonac shared an replace on the place he stands along with his present physique roughly six weeks earlier than the Olympia on Dec. 16-18, 2022, in Las Vegas, NV. Whereas the competitor didn’t share what his exact physique weight was on the time of the clip, each a part of his body — from hulking legs to a bulging chest and arms — has the polish you’d anticipate of one of many greatest names within the sport.
Bonac has been across the main bodybuilding for a short while, capturing notable victories up to now, akin to two victories within the annual Arnold Traditional (2018, 2020). So far as latest outcomes, Bonac gained the 2022 Boston Professional and got here in second in the identical yr’s iteration of the Arnold Traditional. That stated, regardless of a aggressive resume that resembles extra a laundry listing than a easy truth sheet, Bonac has but to interrupt by way of on the largest platform — the Olympia stage.
After a Fifteenth-place debut in 2014, Bonac steadily improved his efficiency on the Olympia nearly yearly, finally plateauing with a second-place end on the 2019 version. (Observe: Brandon Curry, a fellow 2022 Olympia competitor who bested Bonac for the 2022 Arnold Traditional title, took house that title.)
Actually, the 2021 Olympia was the primary time Bonac completed exterior of the highest 5 (in sixth) since his eighth place end in 2015. He won’t have acknowledged it outright, however it might be truthful to imagine Bonac needs to enhance upon that outcome along with lastly shining with a second of glory.
The gents Bonac is chasing — a few of whom paced forward of the athlete within the prime 5 in 2021 — assuredly gained’t make his mission any simpler. Between two-time reigning Mr. Olympia Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay, Curry, the meteoric rise of Nick Walker, and even the transition of Derek Lunsford to the Men’s Open division: this discipline is an actual “who’s who” of superstars.
He’ll face a gauntlet like anybody else, however they don’t name Bonac “The Conqueror” for nothing.
