Classic Physique Favorites to Watch
One of the main events is the Classic Physique division. There are three athletes to keep an eye on to earn that Olympia qualification:
Lemar Shaw
Shaw is the only competitor in this lineup in the 2022 Classic Physique Olympia, where he finished out of the top 15. His only pro victory came at the 2022 Warrior Classic Pro. He has consistently improved since his rookie season in 2019. This will be his first competition of 2023.
Damien Patrick
Damien Patrick has competed once in 2023. He finished second to Eric L. Brown at the 2023 Fitworld Pro contest. He will likely be in the first callout at this show, and winning it would book his entry to the 2023 Olympia.
Only contest winners advance to the Olympia at this stage of the season. Winning now would give Patrick six months to prepare.

David E. Kampfe Jr.
Kampfe has 2023 show experience thanks to his eighth-place finish at the Fitworld Pro. He took a five-year absence from the stage before this season but has shown competitive potential and could make a first callout in this lineup.
