There are many ways for bodybuilders to qualify for the Mr. Olympia Men’s Open Bodybuilding, although this does not necessarily mean those who qualify will compete. However, any athlete that finished in the top 5 of last year’s event is automatically qualified. Additionally, if an athlete wins a show they are also qualified.

Moreover, there are three additional slots open for competitors to qualify. The top 5 people in each show leading up to the Olympia earn points on a scoring system. Subsequently, the men who scored the highest amount of points get a spot. Also, any previous Mr. Olympia Champion is granted a lifetime qualification.

With all the qualified athletes announced, it has been narrowed down 15 bodybuilders who will be taking the stage next month. Here is the list of athletes who we will see compete.

It is important to note that Shawn Rhoden is technically qualified for the 2019 Mr. Olympia, as he is last year’s champion. However, his eligibility was revoked by the AMI, following allegations of sexual assault. Also, Hadi Choopan is qualified but is having visa issues that could prevent his ability to compete.

Additionally, Cedric McMillan was granted a special invitation to the event. On the other hand, Phil Heath has won a previous Olympia, granting him automatic access. Despite this, he has yet to officially announce his intent to compete.

The 2019 Mr. Olympia takes place on September 12-15. Stay tuned to FitnessVolt for all the updates as the event approaches.
