Banks’ goal for 2023 is to defend both the Arnold and Olympia titles successfully. He is halfway there.
Promoter Arnold Schwarzenegger presented Banks with his second trophy to match his first from one year ago. The commentary team mentioned that the aspect of Banks’ physique that set him apart from the rest of the field was the fullness of his muscle bellies and the conditioning visible in his back shots.

Prejudging took place at the Arnold Expo earlier in the day. With an audience watching both live and on pay-per-view, each man was introduced to the stage during the finals. The crowd left no doubt about who they were pulling for when Banks walked onstage.
Banks’ 30-second routine was met with loud applause and cheers. He aimed to become the second man to win the Arnold Classic Men’s Physique twice. The other was Andre Ferguson, who won three in a row from 2018 to 2020.
