American bodybuilder Hunter Labrada is determined to redeem himself after missing the mark at the 2022 Mr. Olympia. He’s currently gearing up to make his comeback at the 2023 Texas Pro and Tampa Pro. In a recent YouTube video from his channel, Labrada showed off his beastly physique, laid out his full day of eating, and shared a push-day workout six and eight weeks out from his return.
Hunter Labrada, son of bodybuilding veteran Lee Labrada, first gained attention for his mass, size, and refined posing skills as a Men’s Open contender in 2020. He dominated the competition at the Tampa Pro to take home the top prize and concluded his season with a strong top-10 finish in his Mr. Olympia debut. Labrada extended his impressive run by scoring gold at the 2021 Chicago Pro and improved his standing to fourth place at the 2021 Mr. Olympia.
Last season, he chose to stay on the sidelines and focus only on the 2022 Mr. Olympia. However, he did not bring his best form on stage and dropped down to seventh place. Since he did not finish in the top five, he would need to earn a qualification for the 2023 Mr. Olympia.
Following the result, Labrada embarked on a mission to turn things around. He identified an issue with controlling his midsection and began incorporating vacuum poses into his regimen. He offered three ways to perform vacuums for the best results like pulling your belly button to the spine earlier this year. Then, he laid out a ‘gut health drink’ he’s utilizing to detoxify.
Labrada detailed some intensity techniques for breaking through any point of stalled progress in the training room two months ago. He also opened up on the difference in his training regimen in the off-season versus while in prep.
The 31-year-old left fans impressed with a shredded physique update where he tipped the scales at 277.6 pounds weeks out from the 2023 Tampa Pro and Texas Pro. He highlighted the importance of choosing the right exercises to avoid injuries and also discussed how to improve workouts for better gains.
Hunter Labrada turned heads in his latest guest-posing appearance at the 2023 Pittsburgh Pro two months ago. He regained confidence after the stellar showing and declared his ambitions to get back into the upper echelon of Men’s Open competitors. Labrada amped up his training to get ready for the 2023 Tampa Pro. He recorded a new PR of 585 pounds (265.3 kilograms) for four reps on the deadlift in a training session weeks ago.
