Inside the Columbus Convention Center, IFBB Pros from the Men’s Physique division battled it out on the 2024 Arnold Classic stage on Saturday, March 2 at 11:00 A.M. Kyron Holden, Vitor Chaves, Vinicius Mateus Viera Lima, and Diogo Montenegro are fighting for first during prejudging at the 2024 Arnold Classic!
The Men’s Physique category has become a fan-favorite within the IFBB Pro League. Competitors boast next-level beach bodies and the division is immensely popular with steady waves of new participants. Last year’s champion Erin Banks, has opted not to defend his crown in Columbus, Ohio. Therefore when all is said and done, a new titleholder will emerge.
The first callout was a dog fight, featuring a handful of top contenders from Men’s Physique. Most notably, Kyron Holden, Corey Morris, Diogo Montenegro, Vitor Chaves, Vinicius Mateus Viera Lima, and Emanuel Hunter were aiming to make statements with superior back shots and diced conditioning from the front.
Meanwhile, the second callout saw Andres Ramos, Emmanuel Costa, Jonas Jamena, Mahmood Al-Maghrabi, and Ismael Martinez Dominquez present their absolute best physiques. Perhaps if they can tighten up marginally for the night show, they could find themselves pushing back into the first call-out.
In the final callout and comparison of prejudging, it was evident that gold was being fought over by the muscularity, density, and dryness of Kyron Holden, Vitor Chaves, Vinicius Mateus Viera Lima, and Diogo Montenegro. Fans are unsure who leads as the number one contender as we await the finals!
