Justin Rodriguez is an IFBB Pro League Men’s Open division bodybuilder and sponsored athlete from the Dominican Republic. Rodriguez is steadily climbing the pro bodybuilding ranks and is known for his peeled conditioning and symmetry. His last title win came at the 2021 Indy Pro. This is his complete profile, biography, and more.

Early Life

Justin Rodriguez hasn’t revealed much about his personal life. When it comes to public interactions, he follows a similar — although not as strict — approach as Dorian Yates. Besides regular physique updates on Instagram during show preps, Rodriguez stays in the shadows, does the work, and then impresses everyone when he steps on stage. 

Notably, “The Nightmare” hasn’t been involved in any major controversies throughout his eight-year-long bodybuilding career, which is something you can only say about a handful of other top-level pro bodybuilders.

After Victor Martinez, Rodriguez is the second bodybuilder from the Dominican Republic to make it big in the IFBB Pro League. The Santo Domingo native started bodybuilding in 2014 and turned pro a couple of years later in 2016. 

Rodriguez idolized the late 2018 Mr. Olympia champion, Shawn Rhoden, and started training wanting to look like him. Per the New York resident, he is often compared to Rhoden, especially when he hits the front double bicep pose. “I wanted to look like him,” says Rodriguez while talking about the late bodybuilder.

Competition and Career

“The Nightmare” made his pro debut in 2017 at the New York Pro, where he placed third. Rodriguez entered the limelight after winning the 2021 Indy Pro. His 2021 Indy Pro win didn’t surprise many bodybuilding fans as he came close to winning a couple of shows in 2020 but missed out by a short margin. He placed second twice in 2020 — at the Chicago Pro and New York Pro.

Rodriguez quit his job in 2021 and went full-time into bodybuilding. “Let me take one year off from my job,” he told his wife before putting in his papers. He credits his decision to quit his job for his success as a pro bodybuilder. 

“For me, it was the best because now I can take my rest and make it my schedule.”

Rodriguez won the 2021 Indy Pro owing to his whittled conditioning and flowing physique. He won both the prejudging and final rounds with perfect scores.  

The Dominican athlete has competed twice at bodybuilding’s biggest stage — Mr. Olympia, in 2020 and 2021, finishing 10th and eighth, respectively.

“The Nightmare” had a great start to the 2022 bodybuilding season with a memorable showing at the 2022 Arnold Classic. Justin Rodriguez showed up with his signature diced conditioning and was being considered a frontrunner to win the show on the first day. 

However, his placing took a beating on the second day after he looked washed out on the second day at the finals. Interestingly, the 2022 AC was the first time the second-biggest bodybuilding show after Mr. Olympia was held over two days.
