of 2023 Arnold Classic We watched the 10 best men’s openers in the world vie for money, bragging rights and a check worth a whopping $300,000. In the end, Samson Dowda won and won the first title of the Arnold Classic.
On Friday, March 4th, Open Class competitors took the stage in Columbus, Ohio for a pre-judging. Fans were excited to see some comparisons during this part of the contest. Walker, Mamudou ‘Big Ramy’ Elsbiai, Samson Dowda, Sean Clarida, William Bonac, and Andrew Jackd.
On Saturday night from 7pm to 10pm, the entire Men’s Open line-up once again took to the stage to crown the new Arnold Classic champions. The show’s former two-time winner, Brandon Curry, chose to improve during the offseason rather than aim for his third AC honor.
After a series of intense callouts in preliminary judging and finals, Samson Dowda, Nick Walker and Andrew Jackd claimed their place as title contenders. Walker’s strangely toned muscles and thin skin made his posing his routine particularly interesting. Jacked and Dauda also showed off their best looks ever. By the end of the night, Samson Douda had won the 2023 Arnold Classic Open Bodybuilding title. In addition, Nick Walker finished second and Andrew Jackd finished third.
