Joe Weider\u2019s 2025 Fitness and Performance Olympia Weekend is officially underway from Oct. 9\u201312 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Contenders from Men\u2019s 212 Bodybuilding battled at prejudging on Oct. 10 at 9:30 a.m. PST inside the Las Vegas Convention Center.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 212 Bodybuilding is essentially a downsized version of the Men\u2019s Open\u2014that means conditioning, mass, and balanced proportions are still king. Flex Lewis<\/a> has been the most dominant 212 Olympia champion, having won seven consecutive titles (2012\u20132018).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today, and Keone Pearson<\/a>\u2018s grasp on the 212 crown has only tightened. He took the honor from Shaun Clarida<\/a> in 2023 and defended the title successfully in 2024. Bodybuilders believe he\u2019s ready right now for the Men\u2019s Open<\/a>, but \u201cThe Prodigy\u2019s\u201d sole focus has been achieving a dynasty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the final callout, Shaun Clarida<\/strong> pushed Keone Pearson<\/strong> with his usual granite hardness. His front double biceps shot was one of his strongest. However, Pearson looked massive from all angles, and his quads popped throughout comparisons. In addition, Nihat Kaya<\/strong> and Lucas Garcia<\/strong> brought impressive packages. Time will tell if Pearson can pull off another title defense in the finals!\u00a0<\/p>\n
