Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Janicki, whose website lists him as a \u201crenowned fitness influencer\u201d and boasts millions of followers on-line, was victorious on Sunday, June 1, in Guadalajara, where he won the 2025 Mexico Supershow, earning a pro card to reach a major milestone in the muscle game. This feat is all the more inspiring because Janicki had previously said he would not compete again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/bodybuilding\/news-i-m-done-competing-eric-janicki-decides-retire-bodybuilding-shattered-pro-card-dreams-npc-usa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">following a disappointing fifth-place result in 2024<\/a>. \u201cDon\u2019t get it twisted. I\u2019m done competing, but I\u2019ll always be a bodybuilder (just on my own terms now),\u201d he explained of that decision.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, time healed all wounds and Janicki returned to the super heavyweight division earlier this year <a href=\"https:\/\/contests.npcnewsonline.com\/contests\/2025\/npc_worldwide_arnold_amateur_bodybuilding_championships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the Arnold Amateur Bodybuilding Championships<\/a>, improving his place substantially by becoming the runner-up.

With more eyeballs fixed on the industry as a whole, it will be interesting to see if this new generation of media savvy musclemen can take the industry more mainstream.<\/p>\n<p>For now, however, these bona fide bodybuilding stars can bask in the fact that they didn\u2019t just post a video about training but instead proved something very special indeed. \u201cStill taking it in,\u201d wrote Janicki in a celebratory post for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DKfpOdezu00\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his 1.7 million Instagram followers.<\/a> \u201cWhat an unforgettable weekend in Guadalajara at the Mexico Supershow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you too want to get jacked like Eric Janicki, take a look at his \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/arm-exercises\/3-exercise-swaps-to-stimulate-superior-biceps-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3 Exercise Swaps to Stimulate Superior Biceps Growth<\/a>,\u201d or this \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/workout-routines\/eric-janickis-4-move-full-shoulder-workout-for-a-wider-frame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4-Move Full Shoulder Workout for a Wider Frame.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ericjanickifitness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To follow Eric Janicki on Instagram, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/flex-news\/eric-janicki-becomes-latest-bodybuilding-influencer-to-win-an-ifbb-pro-card\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are only half-way through 2025, but it has already been an exceptional year for elevating exciting new bodybuilding talent up to IFBB Pro Card status.
