‘The Black Swan’ gave fans a look into the diet plan he started following 20 weeks out of the 2023 Mr. Olympia

American bodybuilder Breon Ansley made a name for himself with his insane conditioning as a Classic Physique competitor. He’s currently gearing up for a switch to the Men’s 212 division in his next outing. In a recent YouTube video, Ansley laid out his full day of eating 20 weeks from the 2023 Mr. Olympia.

Breon Ansley first rose to prominence for his refined muscle quality and symmetry in the Classic Physique division after taking home the top prize at the 2017 Mr. Olympia. He extended his reign of dominance with a stunning victory at the 2018 Arnold Sports Festival before securing his second Olympia title by defeating future champion Chris Bumstead at the 2018 Mr. Olympia.

Ansley fell out of favor with the judges in 2019 as Bumstead dethroned the former two-time champion. After picking up two consecutive bronze medals over the next two years, there was speculation about whether Ansley was eyeing a move out of Classic Physique.

In Sep. 2022, Ansley presented a massive physique in a guest posing appearance at the NPC AL State Championships. Considering how much muscle Ansley had added to his frame, rumors swirled that he would return to the Men’s 212 division, where he first began competing as a Pro.

During the build-up to the 2022 Mr. Olympia, ’The Black Swan’ confirmed his plan to move to 212 even if he reclaimed the Classic Physique title. He expressed concerns about the weight caps in Classic Physique, which restrict his potential to grow.

In the end, Breon Ansley slotted in fourth place and Bumstead won his fourth title at the 2022 Mr. Olympia. Following the show, Ansley lauded ‘CBum’ for his immense achievements in the division to wrap up their six-year-long competitive rivalry.
