Hunter Labrada, son of bodybuilding icon Lee Labrada, has worked hard to build a legacy of his own. Now, Labrada gears up for the 2023 Texas Pro, showcasing peak form and an intense leg-day prep that has fueled his rise. At first, many wondered if he could step out of his father’s shadow. Yet he proved himself by turning setbacks into motivation, especially after finishing seventh at the 2022 Mr. Olympia.
Then came the Tampa Pro, a pivotal moment for Labrada. In 2020, it launched him into the spotlight, earning him a direct spot at that year’s Olympia. The following year, he surged to fourth place at the 2021 Mr. Olympia, beating top names like Nick Walker and William Bonac.
Today, after months of relentless training and a sharp focus, Labrada returned to the Tampa Pro and claimed the win. This victory secured him a spot at the 2023 Mr. Olympia, cementing his rise as one of the sport’s elite.

With the impending 2023 Mr. Olympia, Labrada is not just participating—he’s aiming for the stars. His ambition is clearly set: a place among the competition’s top five. Hunter believes that the key to achieving this lies in meticulous preparation during his peak week and impeccable conditioning, ensuring he presents his best self on the esteemed Olympia stage.
“If I show up in shape, I think I’m in the top five. If I show up out of shape, I’ll be hopefully maybe in the top 10. It’s one of those things, it comes down to who is going to show up on game day. If we all show up on game day, if feel like there’s ten people that can be in the top six,” said Labrada.
