Two major bodybuilding veterans believe that Brandon Curry, the former Mr. Olympia, will win the Pittsburgh Pro.

The veterans are Seth Feroce and Iain Valliere, who, during their appearance on Fouad Abiad's media podcast on May 13, predicted that Curry would win the show by leaving Tonio Burton in 2nd place, Michal Krizo in 3rd place, and Rafael Brandao in 4th place.

Curry won his last prime bodybuilding competition in 2021 at the Arnold Classic, and before that, his first Mr. Olympia title came in 2019. In 2026, Curry finished 5th in the Arnold Classic.

So, the question is: how is he preparing for this competition? Let's see.

Brandon Curry's workout routine

Although Curry has not yet revealed his Pittsburgh Pro-focused workout routine, the following movements have been identified from his Instagram video:

For quads and Calf activation:

• Single leg press with partials
• Standing calf raise.
• Low back hack squat
• Standing cable leg extension

For back:

On April 14, Curry shared a post on his Instagram, revealing his back superset movement.

Curry said, “This is a back day superset you might want to try. Starting with a cable pullover using mechanical advantage to take it beyond failure. Then moving to the Smith machine for what I call the hanging dead.

Hanging means it never touches, to keep tension in the stretch as you move away with your body to increase tension in the stretch. Followed by pulling yourself back to the bar as you retract through the back and try to get some thoracic extension without bringing the hip through”.

For chest:

According to Muscle and Fitness, he works on his chest with workouts like:

• Chest dip
• Incline bench press
• Dumbbell bench press
• Standing machine

For shoulders:

• Machine lateral raises
• Reverse pec deck
• Cable face pull

Brandon Curry’s diet

Curry follows a special diet over the years, especially during preparation.

Meal 1:

• Potatoes
• Chicken
• 2 to 3 egg whites

Once he said, “We do everything by scale weight. Everything is measured by scale weight. So, I mean, anywhere from 200 grams on the scale to 200 grams of protein per meal, and then for carbohydrates, that can go all the way up to 400 grams to all the way down to nothing in some meals”.

Meal 2:

• Chicken
• 200 to 300 grams of rice

Meal 3:

• Sweet potato 250 grams
• Green vegetables
• Salmon or steak

Meal 4:

• Chicken 220 grams

Meal 5:

Meal 6:

So, this is an overview of Curry’s workout and diet. Only time will tell whether he gets the title at Puttersburg Pro this time.
