When Being Too Confident Turns Out As Karma🫣

This is how overconfidence can turn your whole career over. In 2021, Erin Banks came in as a wild card, finishing second at Mr. Olympia in the men’s physique division. A year later, he made a huge transformation and shocked the whole world by winning the 2022 title. He earned everyone's respect—until he lost it all because his ego exploded. Erin thought he was untouchable—arrogant, unbeatable, ready to dominate. But that overconfidence? It turned into his biggest downfall. Just months before the next Mr. Olympia, he got so cocky he entered another show, fully convinced he’d take the win. He was even willing to put money on it. But reality hit hard. He finished second, losing to Kyron Holden, who was ranked 7th in the world. Even after that, Erin kept talking big, saying, “Just wait for the Olympia!” But it all backfired. Since then, he hasn’t won another major title. This right here shows how overconfidence can wreck a champion.

My father won second place international. A true marvel of a man whom I respect beyond all else.

That is nowhere near a good expectation for a one year transformation. Anyone with basic gym knowledge knows that he and most olympians are on steroids.
