The 2025 Arnold Classic Mega Thread

[AllOkJumpmaster]

We are 3 weeks out from the second biggest show of the year.

In an effort to streamline discussion leading up to, and during / about this show, lets keep discussion about progress pics, news, and eventually competition discourse in this thread.

This will help keep the forum free from multiple posts / clutter, but also taking into consideration this show warrants a separate thread from the '25 running IFBB thread.

I will do my best to stay on top of posting athlete physique updates leading up the show, but please add anything / everything you come across relating.

Thank you for your time, and consideration gentlemen.

Wow classic missing a few of the top guys this year

 

[Fleezy]

looking forward to seeing Derek vs Samson

Curious to see if Derek can bring a better, not ‘over-cardio’d version and be more competitive against the new champion

You have Sean Clarida listed in Open Class.

He's competing in open - the Arnold hasn't had 212 for years.

Personally I don't think so, a few years ago he had all the potential in the world but has basically not done much with it, he should have made big improvements by now.

 

[b-boy]

His BDB does look pretty good in that video though

Samson's most recent update

He can be pushed, but he is going to tough to beat.
