Early Life

Sergio Oliva Jr. is originally from Chicago Illinois.  He is the son of three-time Mr. Olympia champion, the legendary Sergio Oliva, famously known as the Myth. 

As a kid, Oliva’s father didn’t take him under his wing to try and continue the bodybuilding legacy. In fact, he was discouraged from prioritizing lifting over his studies. His mother also competed in bodybuilding and was actually more supportive in later years, having spent more time with him in the gym than anyone else. 

Oliva Jr. ran track in his younger years and was pretty darn good, even becoming 2nd in his state. However, he eventually fell out of love with track.

Then following high school he just began weight training on his own and noticed how fast he was getting results. His father still wasn’t having it and went as far as to call gyms to prevent him from joining.

So to avoid this, Sergio Oliva Jr. moved to Destin, Florida where he began his bodybuilding journey. 

He explained in an interview with bodybuilding legend Shawn Ray, that he started as a middleweight weighing 176 lbs. So he won some shows and became the top guy there but he eventually realized that he wasn’t growing anymore.

As a result, he moved back to Chicago and eventually earned his Pro card.

“There has been a lot of times where it was actually my mom who kept me motivated and kept me going. So really if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be here“.

Sergio Oliva Jr. started his journey in 2006, placing 3rd at the Southern in the middleweight division. Then he won the 2007 Panhandle showdown in the light-heavy class. He followed up by winning the 2008 Mr. Northwest Florida in the Heavyweight and overall.

In 2015 he earned his Pro card at the NPC Nationals and has competed in several competitions since then, with his best finish being 1st at the 2017 New York Pro.

Oliva Jr. would finish a disappointing 16th place at the 2018 Mr. Olympia competition. He took 2019 off and came back better than ever, finishing 5th at the 2020 Arnold Classic which is the second most prestigious competition after the Olympia.
