‘Good Vito’ Vitaliy Ugolnikov is determined to step on the 2023 Mr. Olympia stage this November. In a recent Instagram post, Ugolnikov revealed a massive and ripped physique update 14 weeks from his next competition.
Rising bodybuilding star Good Vito is the latest athlete to shake up the IFBB Pro League Men’s Open division. Similar to Michal Krizo, Vito made the switch to the NPC from the IFBB Elite Pro League last year. He wasted no time before stepping on stage. He earned his IFBB pro card at the 2022 Musclecontest International Brazil Nationals.
Ugolnikov possesses an excellent v-taper despite having a significant level of muscle mass. His physique continues to do the rounds online as many have called attention to his huge quads and popping biceps. Given his consistent updates, fans have labeled him a wild card in the sport’s most popular category.
The 2023 Mr. Olympia competition is set to take place in Orlando, Florida from Nov. 2-5. If Good Vito proves to be successful in 14 weeks at the European Pro Championships, he’ll have the chance to make his debut at the prestigious event.

Good Vito Looking 3D and Ripped in Latest Posing Update 14 Weeks from Show
With his next contest approaching, Ugolnikov gave fans a progress video where he showcased a number of different poses.
“Thank you @oficialjorlanvieira, for your time and your help with the poses. 14 weeks to the championship. Thank you @ironberg_ct and @betao_iron for helping to form a better team” Good Vito wrote.
Despite having yet to compete in an IFBB pro show, Good Vito received considerable hype heading into his new league. In a recent Olympia TV video, bodybuilding veteran Chris Cormier and IFBB judge Terrick El Guindy discussed some of the Open’s top prospects. Among them was Ugolnikov. Given his young age and high ceiling in the sport, Cormier believes Good Vito will cause problems in the category. He highlighted the standout’s flaring quads and impressive back.
A few years ago, Ugolnikov was under fire from fans after being accused of photoshopping his images online. While fans thought he modified pictures to make himself look bigger, Good Vito vehemently denied the allegations. He shared a video of his physique to prove the picture-editing claims were false.
