The 2-time Arnold Classic Physique winner, Wesley Vissers, often stuns his fans by sharing his physical evolution and fitness routine. Recently, he shared his physical transformation over the years, showing how Vissers has meticulously blended timeless Golden Era conditioning with a modern approach and mass.

On June 1, Vissers shared an Instagram post featuring two photos of his body, one from his early competition era and the other from his current condition. He captioned the post,

“Both the gym and I expanded over the years. @vintagegymbest 9 years in the making.”

From the post, it was clear that the initial photo was from 2018.

In 2018, Vissers had a breakout year in bodybuilding. He transitioned from an amateur bodybuilder to an IFBB Pro. In 2018, he earned titles in 2 Pro competitions, including:

• Royal London Pro
• Chicago Pro.

Apart from that, his physical condition also helped him earn 16th place in the 2018 Mr. Olympia.

That year, Vissers brought Golden Era conditioning, with his physique defined by sweeping lines and often posing like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

However, during the Mr. Olympia competition, judges felt that his overall conditioning and leg condition lacked maturity and did not meet modern standards.

However, over time, Viewers' physical condition also changed. With increased body mass and conditioning after 2018, Vissers has earned many titles, including:

• Romania Muscle Fest Pro in 2019
• Battle of Champions Pro Poland in 2021
• Yamamoto Pro Cup France in 2022
• Europa Pro in 2023
• Romania Muscle Fest Pro in 2023
• Arnold Classic in 2024
• Arnold Classic UK in 2024
• Arnold Classic in 2026
• Detroit Pro in 2026.

When Vissers shared the physical transformation, fans reacted immediately.

Fans react to Wesley Vissers' physical transformation post

Fans were quick to take to the comment section of Vissers' Instagram post.

One fan said, “discipline, consistency & hard work💪 always show results🔥❤️🙌”.

And no one can deny that Vissers has maintained discipline since his early competition days. And his winning record in bodybuilding competitions, as mentioned before, only supports the statement.

Another fan praised the bodybuilder by saying, “Wesley, you are the motivation of my back days🔥👏”.

Vissers' back exercise routine is intense. In July 2025, Generation Iron shared an article about his back workout routine, which noted that Vissers follows a hard approach, including:

• Narrow-Grip Pulldown
• Seated Row Bilateral
• T-Bar Row.

While one fan said, “brutal change”, another added, “progress💯💪”.

Last but not least, one fan praised the bodybuilding star with a funny reaction.

“If I train every day for the rest of my life, will I even come close to the before picture?”

So, the before-and-after photos wisely not only showed how massive a transformation he has undergone but also how dedicated he is to achieving success.
