Jusup Wilkosz (8 November 1948 – 19 November 2019) was a German bodybuilder. He competed in weightlifting before turning to bodybuilding. In the mid-1970s, Wilkosz trained with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Several injuries forced him to end his career before reaching his potential peak. In 1994 Jusup Wilkosz intended to prepare for the Mr. Olympia Masters, but was stopped by injuries again.
In spring 2007, a semi-fictional novel about Wilkosz's life was published in Germany with the title Was bleibt. Die Reise des Jusup W. (English "What remains: The Journey of Jusup W."). It leads the reader back to the 1970s and 1980s, a time often considered the golden age of bodybuilding.
