Season 3 Ep. 24 - 7th at the Olympia at 22 — Anton Ratushnyi’s Rise to the Top

At only 22 years old, Anton Ratushnyi has already earned his IFBB Pro card, qualified for the Olympia, and placed seventh on bodybuilding’s biggest stage. Anton joins the D2 Podcast to discuss his rapid rise in Classic Physique, the feedback he received from the Olympia judges, and what he must improve to move further up the rankings. He also explains why staying present, accepting honest feedback, and separating your identity from bodybuilding are essential for long-term success. The conversation also covers peak week, muscle maturity, training and supplements, the latest international bodybuilding shows, Anton’s Ukrainian upbringing, adjusting to American culture, and his plans for the next competitive season.
