The 35th Arnold Classic, occurring from March 3-4, 2023, features a former Mr. Olympia, two Arnold Classic winners, two Olympia 212 champions, and five other Men’s Open pros. Though all divisions have become popular over the years, the Men’s Open (known as the Arnold Classic) is typically the highlight of the Arnold Sports Festival’s bodybuilding showcase.
The 10 men in this year’s contest had their own buzz going into the show, making this one of the most anticipated Arnold Classic lineups in the last few years.
