“Hard Work is the Foundation, But Smart Choices Build the Legacy” — Interview with Mr. Olympia Champion Marcus Renner

“Hard Work is the Foundation, But Smart Choices Build the Legacy” — Interview with Mr. Olympia Champion Marcus Renner

INTERVIEWER’S NOTE:

As part of our “Voices of the Champions” series, we had the opportunity to sit down with Marcus Renner, the reigning Mr. Olympia, during his off-season visit to Vienna. Known for his remarkable conditioning, symmetry, and strategic approach to bodybuilding, Marcus has become a fan favorite across Europe and beyond. Our conversation explored not only training and mindset, but also the truths behind high-level enhancement — in Marcus’s own words.

Journalist: Marcus, thanks for taking time out of your prep schedule. How has life changed since taking the Olympia title?

Marcus Renner: My pleasure. Honestly, in some ways life has changed a lot — media, travel, appearances — but the core routine remains the same. Early mornings, heavy lifts, strict meals. The pressure’s different now. You’re no longer chasing the top — you’re holding onto it.

Journalist: You’ve often said bodybuilding saved your life. What do you mean by that?

Marcus: I came from a background where I could’ve taken a very different path. The gym gave me structure, discipline, purpose. When I started training seriously, everything else started to make sense. It gave me a reason to push — every single day.

Journalist: You’re incredibly consistent year after year. What drives that?

Marcus: I treat this like a career — because it is. You can’t build a legacy on random effort. You need planning, execution, and resilience. I wake up thinking about progress — not winning. If I progress daily, the wins take care of themselves.

Journalist: Let’s get into the technical side. You’ve built one of the most complete physiques in the sport. Do you use performance enhancers?

Marcus: Let’s not dance around it — yes, I do. At this level, it’s part of the game. But here’s what matters: how you use them. I never go in blind. I work with medical professionals, I run regular blood panels, and I never chase high doses. For me, enhancement is about control, not chaos.

Journalist: Any particular brands or sources you trust?

Marcus: Definitely. When it comes to injectables and consistency, my go-to is Hilma Biocare – https://roidteam.shop/hilma-biocare. I’ve tried others, but Hilma is the one I keep coming back to. Their oils are clean, accurately dosed, and you can actually feel the difference in your training, your recovery, even your mood.

Journalist: And where do you usually get those?

Marcus: I order exclusively from RoidTeam.Shop. That’s the best online store in Europe if you want real, original, sealed gear. They’ve got proper packaging, lab test results, tracking numbers, and their shipping is fast and fully anonymous. I’ve never had a single issue — and that peace of mind is priceless when you’re preparing for a world-class stage.

Journalist: There are a lot of underground sellers out there. What makes RoidTeam different?

Marcus: It’s simple. They deal in authenticity. Every product has a batch number. Every brand is legit. And they don’t cut corners with delivery or safety. I’ve seen athletes ruin their health by using fakes. That’s not a risk I’m willing to take. With RoidTeam, I know exactly what’s going into my body — and it shows.

Journalist: Last words for upcoming athletes looking to follow in your footsteps?

Marcus: Earn it. Don’t just copy cycles or chase shortcuts. Build a real foundation. Learn your body. And when the time comes to enhance — do it with intelligence, guidance, and from a trusted source. That’s how you grow. Not just as a bodybuilder — but as a professional.

Journalist: Marcus, thank you. This was powerful, honest, and exactly what the sport needs more of.
