Michal Krizo is dialing in preparations as he makes his way to his next bodybuilding contest. In a recent video, Krizo shared a high-volume biceps-focused arm workout two weeks from the 2022 Amateur Olympia Italy show.
This year, Michal Krizo switched from the IFBB Elite Pro League to the NPC. He also went on a legends tour in North America, visiting some of the most respected figureheads in the sport. Krizo’s first stop was at the Dragon’s Lair Gym in Las Vegas to see bodybuilding coach Milos Sarcev. Sarcev, who coaches a number of high-profile Men’s Open competitors, said Krizo is the real deal and plans to make an impact in the new league, assuming he earns a Pro card, of course.
Next, Krizo paid a visit to four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler. Following the encounter, Cutler said Krizo made a lasting first impression. He labeled Krizo as dangerous before mentioning that his striated muscle fibers remind him of bodybuilding legend Phil Heath.
The bodybuilding community has taken notice of Krizo. His massive build caught the attention of 1983 Mr. Olympia Samir Bannout. Bannout believes Krizo is already capable of beating Andrew Jacked, who recently earned a second Pro victory at the 2022 Arnold Classic UK contest.
Bannout is so confident in Krizo that he thinks he will win Mr. Olympia if he’s able to earn a qualification in time. In the past, Samir has suggested that Krizo has bigger arms and a better v taper than fifth place 2021 Olympia finisher Nick Walker.
During a recent Q & A, the Slovakian native gave his thoughts on how he might perform at 2022 Mr. Olympia. While he would obviously need to win a Pro card and Pro show first, Krizo believes he will place in the top 10 at this year’s Olympia contest, and then top six at next year’s (2023) Mr. Olympia. With only two weeks until his NPC debut, Krizo shared one of the workouts that has helped him build massive arms.
