Jeremy Buendia, the American Bodybuilder with four titles in the men's physique division of the Mr. Olympia has announced his comeback. He stepped away from competitive bodybuilding a few years ago, but it looks like he is set to return once again.
Buendia's dominant run in the men's physique division began during the 2014 Mr. Olympia when he won his first Men's Physique title at the event. He went on to win three more titles in consecutive years. His last appearance came during the 2018 Mr. Olympia.
In a recent post on Instagram, Buendia announced his plans to make a comeback for the 2023 Mr. Olympia.
"I’m all in 🎲 we are only 6 months away from the comeback! Olympia Battle June 8th be sure to tune in to OlympiaTV"
We have to wait and see Jeremy Buendia's further progress leading towards Mr. Olympia in November.
The former Mr. Olympia Men's Physique title winner's career has been filled with some ups and downs. The pro bodybuilder grew up playing football during his high school days, but he found his love for bodybuilding when he suffered injuries to his neck and back.
He started competing in bodybuilding competitions at the age of 17. Buendia then earned his IFBB Pro card in the year 2013. In the same year, the Men's Physique division was included in Mr. Olympia.
At the 2013 Mr. Olympia, Jeremy Buendia finished in second place in the Men's Physique division. The title was won by Mark Anthony Wingson. But everyone knows what happened in 2014, when Buendia produced one of the best-ever comebacks by winning the Men's Physique title at the 2014 Mr. Olympia.
So we can even expect a similar kind of comeback from the four-time Mr. Olympia winner later this year.
