Men’s Bodybuilding Athletes to Watch
A new Master’s Olympia champion is guaranteed in the Men’s Bodybuilding category because current champion Kamal Elgargni is not in the lineup. These three men go in as early favorites to win.
Phil Clahar
Phil Clahar earned bronze in the 2023 Masters Olympia contest. He announced his retirement form competition after the 2024 Tampa Pro but opted to compete since he was qualified via his 2023 finish.
Fred Smalls
Fred “Biggie” Smalls took fourth in the 2023 Masters Olympia and is known as one of the most entertaining posers in bodybuilding history. Smalls graced the Mr. Olympia stage three times in his career in 2012, 2014, and 2015.
Brandon Corbett
Brandon Corbett has been actively competing in the 212 division. He placed sixth at the 2025 Toronto Pro Supershow in the 212 category and won the Masters title to earn his spot on this stage.
