Per Klančir, the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League member has had a similar biceps injury before, albeit on his left arm. Despite the wrench in his competitive plans amidst a challenging year that included issues with his visa, Klančir’s announcement’s tone suggests he seems to be maintaining a positive attitude.

“It’s a wrap! 2022 was an emotional rollercoaster,” Klančir started. I’ve missed two competitions at the beginning of the season due to US visa issues. I’ve reached first callouts without a fuss, and as a highlight, I’ve placed third at the Mr. Big Evolution competition in Portugal.”

While he might not be able to train his arms given his current injury, Klančir is still a professional bodybuilder with ambitions to excel when he can return to pose on an official stage. As such, he made clear he will continue refining his physique and training the healthy parts of his body, like his legs and abs. 

“Nevertheless, I feel positive, and I will overcome this without any struggle,” Klančir continues to say in his post.” Maybe I can’t train my arms and my back, but this doesn’t mean that I can’t have progress on other muscle groups …”

Klančir’s Future

After one of the better competitive years of his career, the 30-year-old seemed to be on a rapid ascent. In May, he took home a fifth-place result at the 2022 California Pro. Not long after, he finished in the top three at the 2022 Mr. Big Evolution Pro. Klančir persevered with such success despite missing the 2022 New York Pro because of his noted visa challenges. 

Klančir’s recent stellar performances led some in the bodybuilding sphere to believe he would push for a debut appearance at the 2022 Mr. Olympia in December. Should he have qualified, the Men’s Open athlete would’ve competed against a stacked field of stalwarts featuring two-time reigning Mr. Olympia Mamdouh Elssbiay, former champion (2019) Brandon Curry, Hadi Choopan, Hunter Labrada, and Nick Walker.

While Klančir recovers from his biceps injury, he will have to shelve those potential Olympia plans until at least the year 2023. Whenever he competes again, it seems evident the Croatian competitor will do all in his power to be in tip-top shape again.

On June 21, 2022, Klančir shared a top-to-bottom comparison photo of his physique from a recent undisclosed date and where he stands now.

It is fascinating how the body can change in a few months.

The dramatic steps forward in places like Klančir’s biceps, triceps, chest, legs, and back are apparent. Klančir will take his physique to compete in the upcoming 2022 Mr. Big Evolution Pro Portugal on July 10, 2022, at the Casino Estoril in Cascais, Portugal.

Klančir at a Glance

Klančir may have burst onto the competitive bodybuilding scene when he won the 2012 National Amateur Body-Builders’ Association (NABBA) Mr. Universe. Roughly two years later, while competing in the Heavyweight division, Klančir captured a podium position when he finished in second place at the 2014 Amateur Olympia Europe.

From there, Klančir eventually earned his IFBB Pro League Card by becoming the overall winner of the 2015 Mr. Olympia Amateur in Prague, Czech Republic. After that competition, Klančir seemed to dial back some of his participation in IFBB events. Then, following a few years of absence, the bodybuilder returned to pose on an IFBB stage at the 2017 San Marino Pro. He notched a 10th-place result in the Men’s Open division, finishing behind some notable competitors like Hadi Choopan (second place).

With due diligence since that competition, Klančir’s fifth-place result at the 2022 California Pro is one of the better marks of his IFBB career.

Provided he follows through on his participation at the 2022 Mr. Big Evolution Pro Portugal, 2022 will be one of Klančir’s more active years (two events, at the time of this writing) when it comes to IFBB contests.

A Golden Opportunity

Like many IFBB bodybuilders, Klančir likely has his sights on the 2022 Mr. Olympia.

To date, Klančir has never competed in a Mr. Olympia contest. He had undoubtedly hoped to change that with a win and automatic bid at the 2022 California Pro but fell short. Fortunately for Klančir, a victory in the 2022 Mr. Big Evolution Pro Portugal would also grant him an automatic slot.

All of this effort seems to be worth the trouble to Klančir, who, should he qualify, could be a dark horse for mid-December.

The 2022 Mr. Big Evolution Pro Portugal will take place on July 10, 2022, in Cascais, Portugal. The 2022 Mr. Olympia will occur on December 16-18, 2022, in Las Vegas, NV.
