Michal ‘Krizo’ Krizanek is determined to bring his best when he returns to the stage and that means focusing on strict dieting. On March 12, 2025, he shared his full day of eating to shred down for the upcoming 2025 Pittsbrugh Pro in nine weeks.
Michal Krizo is ready to reinsert himself in the upper echelon of the Open class. In his last bodybuilding contest, he secured third place at the 2024 Empro Classic Pro behind Behrooz Tabani and winner William Bonac, a former two-time Arnold Classic champion.
He was unable to qualify for the 2024 Mr. Olympia and suffered a shoulder injury that required lengthy surgery. Now, with his sights set on the next Mr. Olympia, Krizo has mapped out contest plans. These include performances at the Pittsburgh Pro and New York Pro.
