Fresh off his big win at the 2023 Pacific USA Championships, rising Men's Physique star Jonas Jamena has his sights set on the Olympia stage. With his ticket punched to Columbus this fall, I sat down with Jonas to discuss his breakthrough season and preparation for the world's biggest bodybuilding competition.

Just one year ago, Jonas was relatively unknown on the IFBB pro circuit. Through relentless hard work and belief in himself, he catapulted to the top of a stacked Pacific USA lineup to claim his first pro victory.

When asked about going from relative unknown to Olympia qualifier in 12 months, Jonas remains humble. “I still see myself as an underdog,” he says. “My goal is to keep my head down and grind as if I’ve won nothing.” Jonas acknowledges that earning an Olympia spot brings added pressure to perform. However, his mindset stays on bettering himself rather than the competition.

Already back in the gym, Jonas has no plans to rest on his recent title. “There are still improvements to make,” he notes. With 7 months until Columbus, Jonas aims to build on weaknesses and maintain freshness peaked to perfection. He sees the road to the Olympia as a slow build, dialling in minute details daily, trusting that consistency will yield excellence.

Make no mistake - Jonas brings some serious confidence and belief under his humble demeanor. When asked about his Olympia prospects he says, “shocking the world with a Top 5 finish is the goal. But I expect nothing less than my best at every show.”

As a new breed of Pacific USA champ, Jonas Jamena hopes to turn heads this Olympia weekend. Stay tuned for more check-ins with this rising phenom on the road to Columbus!

A recent interview was conducted with Breon to discuss his preparations and mindset leading into his title defense. Going into his 3rd Olympia as the reigning champ, Breon exudes a quiet confidence and singular focus.

When asked about the target on his back, Breon shrugs it off. "The pressure others put on me is nothing compared to the pressure I put on myself to perform my best," he states. For Breon, the competition is more internal than external, pushing himself to bring the best possible package to the stage.

In the offseason, Breon has worked tirelessly to improve on the formula that earned him back-to-back Sandows. He notes that as champions, "the margin for error is tiny-the competition is always gaining ground." Still, Breon relishes the challenge, aiming to present an even more complete physique come Olympia weekend.

As the calendar flips to the final months before Columbus, Breon's regimen will intensify. He gives fans a sneak preview of his plans leading up to the show. With no room for mistakes, Breon's singular focus is earning the 3-peat and cementing his legacy as one of the Olympia's great champions.

2024 ROAD TO COLUMBUS– Reigning IFBB Pro Arnold Classic Bodybuilding Champion Samson Dauda Interview

Samson Dauda made history last year by becoming the first competitor from Africa to win the coveted Arnold Classic bodybuilding title in Columbus, Ohio.

As the reigning champion, Dauda has validated his ticket to return and defend his title at the 2024 Arnold Classic on March 1-4. With one year to go, we sat down with the champ to get his thoughts on his record-setting achievement and preparations to continue his Arnold dominance next year.




Reflecting on the 2023 Victory

Last year, Dauda brought his best ever package to Columbus and was rewarded accordingly by the judges. Standing tall at 6'2" and weighing 270 pounds on show day, the Nigerian Nightmare brought phenomenal size, conditioning, and proportions that could not be denied.

"Winning the Arnold Classic was a dream come true for me," said Dauda. "To be the first competitor from Africa to win this prestigious title shows that anything is possible with hard work and dedication."

The champion credits his coach Augustine Amedu for crafting the perfect preparations and peaking strategy that enabled Dauda to stand victorious against top rivals such as Andrew Jacked, Terique Abbey, and Ryan Terry last year.


Building on the Momentum for 2024

Dauda knows that earning the Arnold crown once is an achievement but defending it next year will be an even tougher task. However, the champion is excited and up for the challenge.

"I want to come in next year bigger, tighter, and even more impressive," remarked Dauda. "We are carefully analyzing my strong and weak points so we can make the improvements for 2024."

The champ's goals are to add more size to his quads, improve his back thickness, and bring an even sharper, grainier conditioning to Columbus. With Amedu's guidance, Dauda is tweaking his nutrition and training to make progress in these areas.

Dauda also recognizes that to win, he must bring his best package to the stage as the Arnold Classic continues attracting greater competition from both veteran competitors and talented newcomers.

"I'm expecting Andrew, Terique, and others to also improve next year so the showdown will be intense," stated the champion. "It's up to me to match and surpass their gains so I stand unbeatable on that stage again."


Closing Thoughts

Samson Dauda has all the tools - genetics, work ethic, experience and coaching - to accomplish his goal of repeating as Mr. Arnold Classic 2024.

His record-breaking win last year proved his belonging among bodybuilding’s elite. Now the Nigerian phenom is hard at work to defend his crown next March and take one step closer to his ultimate dream of becoming Mr. Olympia.

NPC News Online recently sat down with rising Wellness star Bruna Seredich to discuss her preparations for the 2024 IFBB Pro League season. With the Arnold Classic and Pittsburgh Pro shows on the horizon, Seredich is laser focused on bringing an improved overall package to the stage this year.

In the exclusive video interview, Seredich opens up about the valuable lessons she learned from her rookie season in 2023. After turning pro by winning the Overall title at the 2022 NPC Junior Nationals, she experienced the increased difficulty of the professional divisions. She admits she came in too soft and small at her debut Olympia weekend.

Using that motivation, Seredich has adjusted her training and nutrition plan with her coaches at Oxygen Fitness. She understands the need to carry more muscle maturity and improved conditioning against the elite Professional League Wellness competitors. Her offseason has centered around progressive overload principles and cardio intervals to come in razor sharp.



With her sights set on peak conditioning for the Arnold Classic in March, Seredich is also keeping the big picture in mind. Her long term goals include climbing the Olympia ranks and one day earning a Top 5 or Top 3 finish. With her athletic frame, charismatic personality and work ethic, she has the potential to become a breakout star in the rapidly growing Wellness division.
