Blessing Awodibu is inching toward his highly anticipated return to the bodybuilding stage. On February 10, 2025, he learned valuable training lessons from Ronnie Coleman during their chest and triceps workout.
Blessing Awodibu is perhaps the most outspoken bodybuilder on the IFBB Pro League roster. He sports a paper-thin waist and has used his latest off-season to add much-needed muscle to his frame. Like former Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry, ‘The Boogeyman’ has struggled to bring bursting volume into his legs, but hopes to change that this bodybuilding season.
Awodibu last tested himself at the 2023 Flex Weekend Italy Pro in fifth place, which was won by Open standout Nathan De Asha. Now, with time to grow into this prep, he believes he’ll not only have the mass, but the necessary conditioning to stand against the best.

Ronnie Coleman, meanwhile, is one of the most successful IFBB Pros in the history of the sport. He’s tied in Olympia wins all-time with the legendary Lee Haney. While he no longer competes, Coleman continues to shape up-and-coming threats to success under the bright lights.

By the end of the workout, Awodibu was overly impressed with the intensity ‘The King’ brought to their training session.
“Ronnie got some intensity man! Ronnie ain’t slowing down at all man. Ronnie got Boogeyman sweating,” shared Awodibu. “It’s getting hot up in here.”
Previously, Blessing Awodibu hasn’t been shy about his goals. He wants to one day win the Mr. Olympia title but doesn’t understate that it will take perfect nutrition, dialed in training, and an unbreakable will to be the very best. Having trained alongside names such as Nick Walker and now Ronnie Coleman, he’s one step closer to making his ultimate dream a reality. Many expect him to make waves and register a massive season in the sport in 2025.
Blessing Awodibu has the chance to reinsert himself into big discussions should he walk away victorious at his next competition. Although he has to nail down exactly which show he plans to perform at next, one thing is for sure: fans expect to see him at his all-time best when the curtains rise.
