Early Life and Background

Santos began competing as a novice, “simply seeking to get fit and build muscles”, according to Hinton Magazine. His first recorded outing was the 2021 NPC Worldwide Amateur Olympia Brazil, where he won the Men’s Physique novice class C.

He also placed fourth in the open class E at the same show, behind Marcos Vinicius Resende, Kamal Ait Irhmour and Diogo Basaglia. Basaglia would later share professional stages with Santos — at the 2025 Fitpira Pro and the 2026 Olympia.

Before bodybuilding, Santos worked as a commercial manager, Hinton Magazine reports. No birthplace, date of birth, height or weight has been published in any reliable source.

Turning Professional

Hinton Magazine, writing in February 2024, says Santos “achieved professional status in a remarkably short time”. His first recorded amateur outing was in 2021, and his professional debut followed in October 2023 — about two years later.

The show where he earned his pro card is not on record. The 2021 Amateur Olympia Brazil did not award it — he won a novice class there but placed fourth in his open class, and pro cards go to overall winners.

He made his professional debut at the Musclecontest Brazil Pro in São Paulo on 27–29 October 2023, finishing second behind Mehdi Kabbadj on 12 points, wearing tag 7. Five weeks later he won his first professional title.

The 2023 Season

The debut came at the Musclecontest Brazil Pro in São Paulo on 27–29 October 2023. Santos finished second on 12 points, wearing tag 7, behind Mehdi Kabbadj.

Five weeks later, on 2 December 2023, he won the Musclecontest Mercosul Pro in Novo Hamburgo on a perfect score of six, wearing tag 2. Diogo Montenegro finished second on 12 points.

Two shows, a second place and a win — and the win qualified him for the 2024 Mr. Olympia. It was the fastest possible start to a professional career.

The 2024 Season

Ten months after the Mercosul win, Santos reached the Olympia stage. The Men’s Physique finals took place on Saturday 12 October 2024 at the Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas, and he finished tenth on 48 points, wearing tag 51.

Ryan Terry won his second title, with Ali Bilal second and Brandon Banks third. It was Santos’s only show of 2024 — and his Olympia debut.

A tenth place on an Olympia debut, a year after his first professional show, is a strong start. The next season would test whether he could climb from it.

The 2025 Season

Nine months after the Olympia, Santos returned at the Musclecontest Brazil Pro in Curitiba on 18–20 July 2025. He finished fourth on 12 points, wearing tag 24, behind Emerson Costa, Diogo Espindola and Vinicius Aroucka.

Two weeks later he finished fourth again, at the Tampa Pro in Florida on 31 July–2 August, on 20 points, wearing tag 88. Emanual Hunter won, with Deke Walker second and Burak King third.

Two weeks after Tampa came the Pharlabs Mexico Grand Battle Pro in Monterrey on 16–17 August, where he finished sixth on 18 points, wearing tag 580, in a 15-man field. Lucas Viudes won.

Almost three months later, on 8–9 November, he took his third professional podium at the Musclecontest Fitpira Pro in Piracicaba, finishing third on 9 points, wearing tag 25, behind Edvan Palmeira and Diogo Basaglia.

Four shows, two fourth places, a sixth and a third — a busy season, but no win, so no Olympia qualification. He did not compete at the 2025 Olympia.

The 2026 Season

Five months after Fitpira, Santos opened 2026 at the Musclecontest Nordeste Pro in Recife on 18 April, finishing third on 9 points, wearing tag 11, behind Vincius Mateus Viera Lima and Vitor Chaves.

Three months later came the win that changed the season. At the Musclecontest Brazil Pro in Curitiba on 17–19 July, he won the Men’s Physique title on a perfect score of three, wearing tag 12, ahead of Guilherme Gualberto.

It was his second professional win — and it qualified him for the Mr. Olympia. Thirteen days later he finished second at the Tampa Pro in Florida on 1 August, on 10 points, wearing tag 92, behind Corey Morris.

Eight weeks later came the Olympia. The Men’s Physique finals took place on Saturday 26 September 2026 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, and Santos finished tenth on 48 points, wearing tag 42 — the same score as his 2024 debut.

Ryan Terry won his fourth straight title, with Ali Bilal second and Kyron Holden third. Four shows in 2026, a win, two more podiums and a second Olympia — his best season by far.

Coaching, Diet and Training

No coach is named for Santos in any source found, and no training split from him has ever been published. Hinton Magazine mentions only “intense training and strict diets” — no detail beyond that.

No diet facts from his own words exist beyond two healthy pizza recipes, published by Basil & Salt in February 2024. His standalone diet-plan article on this site says so plainly, and prints the verified contest record instead.

Basil & Salt quotes him on the point: “People often think that as a bodybuilder, I’m limited to a monotonous and restrictive diet. But with a little creativity and the right ingredients, enjoying a delicious pizza that aligns with a healthy and balanced diet is entirely possible.”

What Makes Him Stand Out

Santos reached the Olympia within a year of his professional debut — and he did it twice, finishing tenth both times on the same score of 48. The consistency is the story: 11 contests, and never a finish outside the top ten.

He is also a two-time winner who wins by wide margins: both titles came on perfect scores — six at the Mercosul Pro, three at the Brazil Pro. When he wins, every judge agrees.

He put it this way in February 2024: “I found my true purpose: to inspire people to overcome their limits, believing that we are all capable.”

The record backs the words. From a novice-class win in 2021 to a second Olympia in 2026, he has climbed every year without ever slipping outside the top ten.

Kaique Santos Contest History

Santos’s professional record stands at 11 contests, two wins, six top-three finishes, eight top-five finishes and 11 top-ten finishes. His worst finish is tenth, at the 2024 and 2026 Mr. Olympia — his only two Olympia appearances so far.
