Four-time Olympia Men’s Physique Champion Jeremy Buendia is back on the 2025 Road to the Olympia, and the drive for five is alive and stronger than ever. In a new interview with JM Manion at the NPC Photo Gym, Buendia opens up about his latest victory, his mindset heading into the Olympia, and how his personal and professional life has elevated his comeback.
After securing his first win since 2017, Buendia silenced critics who doubted he could still compete with today’s top physiques. Beating a top-10 competitor validated his belief that he’s still among the elite and capable of reclaiming the title. With just 16 days until the Olympia stage, the momentum has never been greater.
At 35 years old, Jeremy reflects on his journey, crediting his wife, family, and business partners for keeping him grounded during this prep. He highlights the recent launch of Stoic Gym, now expanding with international licensing deals, and explains how balancing fatherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship has fueled—not hindered—his bodybuilding focus.
Despite years of online criticism, Buendia remains laser-focused, stating that only the opinions of respected voices in the industry matter. His preparation this year is sharper, with coach Alan Watkins providing not just technical guidance but also emotional support, helping him manage the mental grind at the highest level of competition.
With four former Olympia champions set to battle in Men’s Physique, the 2025 Olympia promises to be one of the most competitive in history. Buendia knows it’s put-up-or-shut-up time and says his goal is simple: to stand next to the best and take them out.
Jeremy Buendia’s message is clear—self-belief, resilience, and focus win championships. The next chapter of his career could be his most legendary yet.
