Choopan was met at the airport by his coach, Hany Rambod, and wasted no time, heading straight to the gym for a back workout.

Choopan claimed his first Olympia title in 2022 but was edged out by Derek Lunsford at the 2023 event.

Unsatisfied with second place, Choopan quickly returned to competition, winning both the 2024 Arnold Classic and the Arnold Classic UK.

While he has faced visa challenges in previous years, including a last-minute arrival in 2020, his journey to the U.S. this year was smooth, allowing him to focus entirely on his training.

After a few years of training without a coach, Choopan teamed up with Ali Ne’mati in 2013, a partnership that launched his career to new heights.
