One of the United Kingdom’s most prolific bodybuilders is set to return in just two months. In a recent Instagram post, top Men’s Open Pro Nathan De Asha shared an impressive physique update eight weeks from his next contest.
It didn’t take long for Nathan De Asha to gain traction in the IFBB Pro League. His combination of mass and conditioning proved to be a winning recipe on a number of occasions. A lot of his success has come from his ability to blend these attributes together on stage to create a symmetrical and balanced appearance.
In 2021, De Asha led a flawless season, where he nailed down three consecutive first-place performances at the Europa Pro Championships, the Arnold Classic UK, and the Yamamoto Cup Pro. During his appearance at the Arnold, De Asha defeated noteworthy opponents like Patrick Johnson and Samson Dauda.
Next, De Asha targeted the 2022 Arnold Classic. However, he was forced to pull out due to a left bicep injury. As a former top-10 Mr. Olympia finisher (seventh to be exact, in 2017), fans have long awaited De Asha’s return to action. However, his comeback was delayed further after a second bicep tear prevented him from competing at the 2022 Olympia competition.

The wait is just about over as Nathan is on the verge of competing once again. He’s targeted a show in eight weeks, where he will look to qualify for this year’s 2023 Olympia show. Should he come out on top and make it to Olympia, it will be De Asha’s first time on the sport’s biggest stage since 2018.
Nathan De Asha Shows Off Massive Physique Update 8 Weeks From Show
Check out De Asha’s update below.
“The man with no arms 8 weeks out baby.
Just a little posing session.” Nathan De Asha shared.
Even though he hasn’t been competing, De Asha remains busy, especially on YouTube. He joined strongman royalty Tom and Luke Stoltman for a special ‘Bodybuilding versus Strongman’ training session months ago. Nathan also challenged Tom and Luke to a leg press challenge.
Despite its controversial nature, De Asha isn’t opposed to talking about performance-enhancing drugs. Speaking on the Bodybuilding University Podcast, De Asha detailed his experiences with Trenbolone, one of the more potent steroids on the market. While some have encountered negative side effects from using the substance such as Larry Wheels, De Asha swears by the compound. He mentioned that he uses it year-round and never encounters problems with aggression or mood instability.
De Asha, who has shown to have immense promise as an Open threat, could find himself again pushing names like Samson Dauda if he emerges with a victory in eight weeks. Given De Asha’s competition history and current physique, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him re-insert his name into Olympia discussions later this year.

A lot has changed since De Asha’s last Olympia appearance in 2018. At that time, the late Shawn Rhoden became the newly minted Mr. Olympia winner. Since that night, the title has changed hands three times. First Brandon Curry took the honor in 2019 and then Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay captured the throne from 2020-2021. Now, Hadi Choopan reigns supreme.
