Hadi Choopan (also well known as "the Persian Wolf") becomes the first Iranian to win the Mr. Olympia Title. He was born in 1987 in a little village of Sepidan County, Fars Province, located in Southern Iran. Hadi is one of the most popular bodybuilders worldwide in the recent years (he was awarded as the People's Champion for 2019) with more than 3 millions of muscle fans following him on Instagram and other social media! He lives in Shiraz (the capital of Fars Province) where he is the manager of a bodybuilding club.
His family was very poor and he worked from from a young age to help his parents. He started working in the construction field while selling goods but he always had a great interest in bodybuilding. For him, becoming a professional bodybuilder was a dream and Arnold Schwarzenegger was his idol. At the age of 13 he began to work out in the gym and within three years he was ready to compete. From 2003 to 2011 Hadi won several bodybuilding competitions in Fars and Tehran Provinces. In 2005 he won his first National Title and the name of Choopan began to be established in the Iranian bodybuilding scene. He has been competing as a permanent member of the Iranian National Bodybuilding Team (from 2011 to 2016) and he won several titles at various IFBB contests, 3 gold medals at the WBPF World Bodybuilding Championships in 2013, 2014 and 2015, but also the Overall Title at the WBPF Asian Championships 2013. An interesting point of his bodybuilding career is that he hadn't been coached from 2008 until 2013!
The Persian Wolf started his rise in the international bodybuilding industry when he won the IFBB Diamond Cup 2016 in Dubai, and his Pro Status. Only two days later, he made his Pro debut in IFBB Sheru Classic Pro Show 2016 finishing at the 2nd place after the Dutch bodybuilder Roelly Winklaar. From there, Hadi continued to participate in various IFBB professional shows becoming known for his fantastic conditioning. His first big achievement was his participation at the most important international bodybuilding competition, the IFBB Mr. Olympia 2019, where he won the 3rd place! Hadi Choopan is the second Iranian bodybuilder who has ever succeeded to compete in Mr. Olympia Competition after Baitollah Abbaspour who ranked 5th in 2014.
