The Mr. Olympia competition has been around for decades, and as fans, we love to see those mass monsters walk the stage and compete at the highest level of bodybuilding. However, pro bodybuilding sought more inclusion and with more athletes determined to compete at a pro level, they expanded Mr. Olympia into multiple divisions.
In 2013, the Men’s Physique division was born. Prepared for and judged differently, this event tends to see a real focus on the upper body. While the Men’s Open may get a little more attention, there are still some big names that come out of the Men’s Physique division.

Mark Anthony Wingson carries a host of wins aside from this Olympia victory, including wins at the Pittsburgh Pro, New York Pro, and Grand Prix LA. He was always in the gym as a child and around 2011 he started competing, which is when he also earned his pro card. He had help from Jay Cutler, well-known bodybuilder and four-time Olympia winner, which helped lead to his victory in 2013 in the Men’s Physique division. He has since gone on to be a coach and social media personality.
Jeremy Buendia- 2014-2017
Jeremy Buendia is a four-time Olympia champion in this division, winning his first just one year after turning pro. After an injury during football, he took to the gym to build strength and get himself back to form, but he never stopped. This love of lifting carries over into bodybuilding where he’s taken down some of the greats around him at events like Mr. Olympia, as well as the San Jose Pro and Sacramento Pro.
