Akim Williams Crushes 170-Pound Dumbbell Press Ahead of 2025 Mr. Olympia

Akim Williams has proven once again that he is one of the strongest bodybuilders in the business by beasting some seriously heavy incline dumbbell presses, thus making a big statement heading into the 2025 Olympia in Sin City.

Williams, who is known to fans as the Bk (or Brooklyn) Beast, has now qualified for his seventh Mr Olympia appearance following his debut back in 2016, thanks to taking victory in the Big Man Weekend Spain Pro late last year. Now, the big man, who was born in Grenada but grew up in Brooklyn is calling the gym his home, as the 40-year-old goes heavy with moves like the dumbbell incline bench press.

Why Does Akim Williams Go Heavy With the Dumbbell Incline Bench Press?

This move is magic for targeting the chest muscles, but going heavy will further engage the shoulders and triceps, making it a must for upper body mass building.  More specifically, as opposed to the traditional flat bench press, raising the backrest shifts the load onto the upper-chest, allowing for the construction of what many people call the “top shelf.” And, by using dumbbells rather than a barbell, Williams is taking a unilateral approach to help achieve symmetry, rather than relying on his strongest side to pull the majority of the load.
