Can Wesley Vissers Challenge Chris Bumstead in Classic Physique?
As the 2024 Mr. Olympia approaches, the Classic Physique division is generating significant excitement, particularly around Wesley Vissers. Seven weeks out, Wesley has been in the spotlight after an impressive win at the Arnold Classic Ohio, where he bested Ramon “Dino” Queiroz—a top contender many saw as the heir to Chris Bumstead’s Classic Physique throne.
This win has sparked debates: Can Wesley, with his comparable height and size to Chris Bumstead, challenge the reigning champion? Wesley’s physique at the Arnold Ohio was arguably the best we’ve seen, showcasing deep striations and an overall refined classic structure. Now, working with coach Stefan Boss, there’s speculation about whether Wesley can replicate or surpass this look at Olympia.
Chris Bumstead’s towering presence and muscularity have set him apart, but Wesley’s similar stature might make him a formidable competitor. The buzz around Wesley isn’t just due to his recent success—his journey from social media popularity to now being a serious contender has been long anticipated.
While Wesley’s victory over Ramon was partly attributed to the latter being slightly off his game, Wesley’s improved physique was undeniable. If Wesley can bring the same, if not a better, package to the Olympia stage, he could indeed push into the top three, possibly even challenge Bumstead.
The outcome depends on many factors, but Wesley’s rise in the Classic Physique ranks makes this year’s Olympia a must-watch event. The big question remains: Can Wesley Vissers shake up the established order and contend for the title? Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how it all unfolds.
