Wesley Vissers 2025 – Prep, Season & Goals

After his 2024 Arnold Classic victory, Wesley Vissers entered 2025 with high expectations. He prepared intensively for the new season, but 2025 turned out to be a year of learning, rebuilding and long-term planning.

Preparation and Early Season

Vissers started 2025 with a renewed focus on symmetry and leg development while maintaining his trademark classic lines. Six weeks out from the Arnold Classic 2025 his physique looked fuller and more balanced than ever.

Arnold Classic 2025 & Lessons Learned

Although he entered the 2025 Arnold Classic as defending champion, digestive issues and dehydration during peak week affected his stage look and he placed 5th. Judges praised his upper body but pointed to lower body fullness as a key area for improvement.

Off-Season, Mr. Olympia & the Long Game

After the Arnold Classic 2025, Wesley Vissers announced he would skip Mr. Olympia 2025 even if qualified, opting instead for a longer rebuilding phase to bring up weaknesses and return stronger.
