Classic Physique star Wesley Vissers’ fan base is reaching as far as Hollywood. In a September 22 post, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson offered Vissers support during peak week in the lead-up to the 2026 Mr. Olympia.
For years, Vissers made it his mission to bring the Golden Era back to modern bodybuilding. His statuesque silhouette and likeness to Arnold Schwarzenegger have helped him quickly find his way in the Classic Physique division. In 2026, Vissers regained hype with a dominant victory at the Arnold Classic Ohio. He showcased dramatic improvements to his leg fullness, helping him capture the title.
A week later, “The Dutch Oak” went 2-0 after securing the Detroit Pro crown. However, at the recent Arnold Classic UK, he had trouble with Mike Sommerfeld. Ultimately, Sommerfeld left with the nod, prompting Vissers to focus heavily on his leg size and definition before hitting the stage again.

In the post, Vissers’ coach confirmed the work is done and that they plan to cruise into the show as is:
“He is actually as good in shape, with the total balance like never before. The work is completely done. We are keeping everything as it is, which is kind of a good thing. Nothing needs to happen anymore. The plan is to stay the same; no changes needed at all. It’s as perfect as it can be,” shared Stefan Kienzl.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, a known bodybuilding enthusiast, backed Vissers leading into the prestigious show.
Vissers faces an incredibly stacked lineup at the 2026 Olympia. Reigning champion Ramon Dino has boasted low body fat year-round and has used his off-season to train with two-time Mr. Olympia Derek Lunsford. Meanwhile, Sommerfeld, who beat Vissers in the UK, will be back in action. Major threats remain beyond the top two on paper. Terrence Ruffin, a former two-time Arnold Classic champion, could also shock the world.
Athletes have reached the final stretch before preparations grind to a halt. The 2026 Mr. Olympia livestream is free and will take place from September 24-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Find out if Vissers can make history when he returns to the stage. Fitness Volt will have live coverage and play-by-play results so you don’t miss a moment of the action!
