Description
IFBB Pro Tonio Burton is 10 weeks out from the Olympia, and we spent the day with him in Reno to see what his prep really looks like.
After a breakout 2025 season with multiple pro wins and his Olympia qualification, Tonio is entering this year’s Olympia bigger, fuller, and more confident than ever. In this episode, he breaks down his high carb approach, keeping his metabolism strong during prep, his current nutrition strategy, and why he believes consistency has been the key to his rapid rise.
Tonio also opens up about his journey from a collegiate football player o becoming one of the fastest rising athletes in bodybuilding, his transition into the sport, dealing with injuries, and the realities of reaching the highest level of competitive bodybuilding.
