Wesley Vissers is 48 hours away from hitting the stage. With time running out, he met with Flex Wheeler on September 23, who offered him key posing advice to win the 2026 Mr. Olympia.
After a lackluster 2025 bodybuilding season, Vissers turned it around this year. He focused heavily on improving his leg development and fullness with a tailor-made training split. His efforts paid off at the 2026 Arnold Classic, where he dominated the field to secure his second title. In his next outing, Vissers was victorious at the Detroit Pro, but he wasn’t done competing.
Vissers tested himself against 2025 Olympia runner-up Mike Sommerfeld at the 2026 Arnold Classic UK. Ultimately, Vissers pushed ‘Mike the Badass’ but came up short with silver. Despite the setback, many consider Vissers a frontrunner to take out Ramon Dino looking ahead.
Flex Wheeler Shares Last-Minute Posing Advice With Wesley Vissers for 2026 Olympia
In the video, Flex Wheeler told Vissers that his greatest weapon is superior conditioning. With that in mind, ‘The Sultan of Symmetry’ explained that he can take longer with transitions between poses to highlight the details on his physique:
“Your glutes look amazing. You look freaking amazing. Everything is great. It’s just that one pose. Everybody doesn’t have superior condition, so it doesn’t make any sense for them to do all this, they can just go right into the pose. But when you all have all that extra condition, if you don’t show it, then why even have it? You’ve got to show all of that off. Take your time in that.”
Additionally, he urged Vissers to think of the competition as a fight and not to stop until the winner is announced.
“It’s not arrogance, it’s confidence. It’s just the look of confidence. Also, it’s like actors… that’s not who really they are, but they act. Onstage, you have to be that person. You have to have that charisma.”
“It’s a competition. I look at it like you’re in a fight. I’m not going to wait for you to hit me. I’m going to hit you and keep hitting you until the battle is over with. We’re in a fight. When it’s over with, okay, how you doing, you okay? But during it, no, no, no. You want to embarrass everyone onstage; you want to annihilate them. You want to make them look like you don’t deserve to stand next to me.”
Wheeler went on to emphasize that in today’s era, nice guys don’t always end up on top.
“Unfortunately, if they stand next to you, then obviously, they think they can compete with you. It’s not arrogance. It’s a competition, man,” shared Wheeler. “Unfortunately, especially these days, the nice guy doesn’t always win. It sucks, but that’s the world we need to be in. So, be nice until it’s not time to be nice.”
Though he stands out as a favorite, Vissers has remained measured with his Olympia expectations. He recently predicted who will crack the final callout. When asked about winning, Vissers stressed that his goal is to become the Classic Physique Olympia champion within the next three years.
