2019 Mr. Olympia, Brandon Curry is looking fantastic.
Brandon Curry has won the 2019 Mr. Olympia, and the Arnold Classic in 2019 and 2022.
Being one of the most consistent bodybuilders in modern times, Brandon can never be counted out, and he can defeat the best of the best, with his balanced physique.
Brandon is now working with his new coach, Justin Harris, and he’s also training at home, rather than in Kuwait, as in recent years.
It seems training at home, close to his family is becoming the perfect combination for Brandon, and the improvements are already showing on his physique.
This is what Brandon had to say:
” I figure I’d come out of the shadows and let you all know I’ve been working. Yes, there’s been some changes for this prep but it doesn’t change my willingness to endure and get the job done.”
“Thanks to my coach Justin Harris’s @troponin_nutrition app I know that this video was exactly taken 6 weeks and one day out (yesterday) from @arnoldsports. Since this is our first time working together he let me know the first phase is about striping the fat off. The final phase will be more focused on making the physique look good.”
“I feel like we are in a good position. This is my first time capturing myself post-workout (with upper body pump), so it’s a bit different from my normal fresh out of bed check-ins.”
“I’m managing well at home and my wife @bleaver808 has been aiding in making this transition more comfortable for me and I appreciate all her help. Just a bit more grinding to go and God willing I will see a lot of you in Columbus.”
We at Evolutionofbodybuilding.net wish Brandon the best of luck!!

Shawn Ray is known to speak his mind, and the majority of time, he will get a backlash from the industry, when in reality, he has every right to speak his mind.
Shawn Ray believes that Derek Lunsford, should have enough experience to do his own prep, and he should not be trusting his physique in the hands of any “Guru”.
Chris Aceto was not happy with Shawn’s opinion and lashed back with several posts on his social media pages, and also venting on RXMuscle’s YouTube Channel.
Shawn Ray did not hold back, as he responded on the VOB’s YouTube channel, with Bob Cicherillo.
This debate will surely not end anytime soon.
