The German Bodybuilder, Urs “The Miraclebear” Kalecinski was a constant threat to Chris Bumstead’s classic Olympia, but with Cbum, it has now retired, why would Kalecinski step from a division that he is so close to the statement? The big man explained his motivations in a recent update on social media.
“I have decided to switch to Open Class Bodybuilding, and I want to inform you about my thinking process behind this decision,” the Miraclebear registered as Instagram Post for its 1.6 million followers. “The struggle to reduce weight for classic has become increasingly difficult to a point where I had to sacrifice my health enormously or my best possible physique,” he explained. “To be honest, I am now 17 kilograms above my weight limit for the classic physique, but my body is almost ready on stage – which means that I have to lose about 15 kilograms of pure muscle mass to make weight. To be honest, this just feels wrong,” wrote Kalecinski of the bond he is going through.

To this end, he is said to be still looking to make his 2025 Olympia Open debut By trying to qualify at the Pro Muscle Show in Milan, Italy.
In a boost for the Miraclebear, his difficult decision was quickly supported by some of the most successful divisions, the most successful competitors. “A smart and mature movement that you made the URS,” said seven -time MR Olympia, Phil Heath. “Removing that stress will really help your Spirit and Spirit. God bless.”
Welensen also came from the Mr. Olympia from 2023, Derek Lunsford who once made a similar transition. “I can understand this feeling of the 212 division,” he shared. “I waited to reach the Olympia title, but in the end I knew that I was holding myself. You have to follow what you think is good.” It will be exciting to see the next chapter of the Bodybuilding career of Kalecinski unfolded in the Open Division.
