I’m sad to announce because of health reasons I will be stepping down from the open class. I found out my second uncles grandfathers cousin had a bad heart. So just not willing to take the risk, sorry. But I’m actually not going to move down to Classic and instead, just go straight down to Men’s Physique. I’d like to apologize to Chris Aceto, friends, family, sponsors and everyone who invested in me, sacrificed their life and time for me to reach my dream of being Mr.Olympia one day. Just for me to be like “Just kidding”, It’s actually not that important to me after-all. So even tho I’m surrounded by perfect examples of great pros, in perfect health, and great representations of the word “longevity” right in my face, I’m still ignorantly calling the sport unhealthy. I didn’t win the Mr.Olympia my rookie year😤😤 so I don’t like that ,and don’t want to push my body anymore. #3DayWeekendWarrior #NoHeart #NoGuts #NoBalls
Don’t get it. Is this for real or tongue in cheek? Is he announcing a true shift in categories or trolling?
It's a sarcastic caption. He's making fun of the young open competitors who've moved to classic. Regan Grimes, in particular, seemed to make a big deal about it being a health-related move.
Who cares
"...second uncles grandfathers cousin..."What is a 'second uncle?' And the uncle's grandfather's cousin? That's a FAR stretch from immediate family.Maybe he can't financially afford to be a pro bodybuilder. When he went to the New York Pro last year he said he went on a one-way airline ticket because he couldn't afford a return ticket. Fortunately he then won the show.
Did you not read the sarcasm?
Sergio jr seems like an asshole.why does he care what some other bodybuilder does?The guy is smart to move down to classic or physique as not everyone wants to risk their life for this stupid sport.
So even tho I’m surrounded by perfect examples of great pros, in perfect health, and great representations of the word “longevity” right in my face, I’m still ignorantly calling the sport unhealthy.
As if classic or mens physique guys arnt also running 4,5,6,8g a week.Only thing different might be food intake.
Yeah so now the rumors are Classic guys run the same amount of gear as open guys they just don't have as good genetics for size and don't eat as much food. This is 100% absolute bullshit put out by open class drug monsters that feel threatened.
Its not bullshit at all.

He's obviously showing that he's the ignorant one by a). Referring to bodybuilding as a "sport", and b). Implying that professional bodybuilding is a healthy endeavor
Useless debate, truth is somewhere in between. Hard to argue over a matter of degrees, but there is no debating that less body weight on the competitors generally means a somewhat reduction in supplementation as well as calories, which will have some level of health benefit.
