German bodybuilding standout Urs Kalecinski is ready to move up on the world’s biggest stage this October. In a recent YouTube video shared on July 24, 2024, ‘The Miracle Bear’ walked fans through a full day of eating as he prepares for the 2024 Mr. Olympia competition.
Kalecinski is easily one of the most popular athletes in the IFBB Pro League, irrespective of category. As a Classic Physique Pro, he’s found remarkable success thanks to his symmetry, golden-era look, and shredded physique. Last year, Kalecinski secured third place at the 2023 Olympia show.

Just a week following the impressive performance in Orlando, Florida, Kalecinski bet on himself at the 2023 Texas State Pro which he won handily with one of his best looks to date.
He recently tested himself at the 2024 Arnold Classic Ohio show but fell to third place behind Ramon Queiroz and Wesley Vissers. In his Arnold Classic UK showing, he took bronze to Breon Ansley and Vissers. More determined than ever, he showcased a full day of eating as he prepares for the biggest event of the year just 12 weeks away.

When making his oatmeal, Kalecinski explains that it needs to be more watery to mix in his special ingredient.
“They have to be slightly runny, but only very slightly.

With talents including Welsey Vissers, Queiroz, and Breon Ansley in addition to the champ Cbum in the lineup, fans will not want to miss the epic showdown that will take place later this year.
