Classic Physique bodybuilder Urs Kalecinski announced he was taking a break after a busy competitive bodybuilding season. Since placing third at the 2023 Mr. Olympia, The Miracle Bear won the Texas State Pro and EVLS Prague Pro. After slipping down to third again at the 2024 Arnold Classic Ohio and the UK, Kalecinski decided to take a break from the sport and unwind before renewing his approach.

Some fans commented on Urs Kalecinski after a video of the bodybuilding champion surfaced online. The 26-year-old EDM lover was caught on camera at a concert. Someone standing behind the bodybuilder filmed him enjoying the music beside the DJ. This angered a handful of fans who didn’t agree with what Kalecinski did.

However, other bodybuilding fans defended the Classic Physique competitor. When Urs Kalecinski announced that he would be taking a break he also talked about staying away from social media. The bodybuilder didn’t film the video, nor did he post it on his account. In fact, the footage shows Kalecinski potting someone filming him only after he turns around.

The fans who questioned The Miracle Bear’s decision to party implied that a bodybuilder shouldn’t be partying. These bodybuilding fans said that the 26-year-old should be relaxing and focusing on recovery instead of partying. Regardless, the German Classic Physique bodybuilder isn’t training during this off-season.

Many bodybuilding fans found such comments baseless. Since The Miracle Bear said he would take time, most fans said that others shouldn’t dictate what he does during his vacation. Most fans thought the critics didn’t have the right to dictate Kalecinski’s life.
