2022 Arnold Classic Men’s Physique has a deep pool of talent this year. Three-time champ, Andre Ferguson will not be a part of the contest, but plenty of top performers from last year’s Mr. Olympia stage look eager to turn in a statement-making performance at this show.
One name to keep on the lookout for is Erin Banks. The bodybuilding competitor managed to place in second at Olympia last year and most believe he will be bringing one of his best packages ever to the 2022 Arnold Classic. Meanwhile, Diogo Montenegro is also on the hunt for gold after turning in a third-place performance at the biggest show of the year in 2021.
Montenegro’s season in bodybuilding was explosive last year. He started his season in style after winning the 2021 Puerto Rico Pro. Around five months later, Montenegro returned and placed in second at the Musclecontest Brazil Pro. Brandon Hendrickson beat Erin Banks and Montenegro at Olympia in 2021 with Montenegro taking third place. Hendrickson will not be competing at this year’s Arnold Classic.
Eleven contenders storming the stage in hopes to secure an Arnold Classic title. It’s anyone’s event as Olympia’s second and third place winners will clash to determine who will be crowned the Arnold Classic Men’s Physique champion.
The final callout for Men’s Physique at the 2022 Arnold Classic pitted the towering Erin Banks, Diogo Montenegro, Emmanuel Hunter and Antoine Weatherspoon on stage posing against each other. Obviously, it was hard to ignore the stage presence of Banks, though it appeared that Weatherspoon’s physique only got harder as the show went on.
The first and fourth callouts were identical, so many are assuming that this group of men will be included in the top four at the 2022 Arnold Classic Men’s Physique finals tonight.
