Runnin It Back

Brandon Curry is a professional heavyweight bodybuilder and 2019 Mr. Olympia. Brandon was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. His interest in weight training began early on at the age of six. Initially competing in the light-heavyweight class, Curry won his first bodybuilding competition, the 2003 Supernatural Bodybuilding. In 2006 he came in second in the light-heavyweight division at the NPC Junior National Championships; the five-foot-seven Curry weighed 189 pounds for that event. The following year, with 28 additional pounds added to his frame, he moved up to the heavyweight division for the NPC USA Championships in 2007, where he finished second in his division. He then came in second in the heavyweight division for that year's NPC National Championships. In 2008 Curry won both the heavyweight division and the overall of the NPC USA Championships, which secured his ranking as a professional bodybuilder. Curry has been training in Kuwait and all his hard work paid off when he won the 2019 Mr. Olympia. Recently, he launched his own line of supplements called O15 Nutrition using his BS in Exercise Science and real-world experience.
