The Men’s Open title at the 2026 Arnold Classic went to Andrew Jacked for the well deserved win! Jacked delivered an impressive combination of massive size, symmetry, and conditioning on stage and upped his game from the 2025 Olympia. Jacked placed a controversial third in last years' Mr. Olympia and is showing promise to surpass this placing in the 2026 Olympia. Jacked stood out with his towering frame and aesthetic proportions. His performance secured his first Arnold Classic title and marked a major milestone in his rapidly rising bodybuilding career.

Men's Open Runner Up: Nick WALKER
Men's Open Third place: Hadi CHOOPAN


Classic Physique Winner: Wesley VISSERS

Wesley Vissers wins the Classic Physique title by showing off the old school classic bodybuilding look this division calls for. Vissers, who is often referred to as "The Dutch Oak, brought to the stage all of his balanced proportions, classic posing, and sharp conditioning. This is his second Arnold Classic Physique title and further cements his reputation as one of the leading athletes in the division. Vissers deserved to take the trophy on this evening!


Best Poser Award and 3rd place to: Andrea MAMMOLI
Future dark horse? : Sam SULEK who took 8th place



Men's Physique Winner: Brandon HENDRICKSON

Brandon Hendrickson absolutely crushed the Men’s Physique division with his dominating wide shoulders, tight waist, and a commanding stage presence. A multiple-time Olympia champion, Hendrickson once again demonstrated why he remains one of the most consistent and crushing athletes in the sport. His victory at the Arnold Classic added another major title to his already decorated career.



Fitness International Winner: Michelle FREDUA-MENSAH

Michelle Fredua-Mensah wins the Fitness International title after delivering an outstanding routine that combined strength, flexibility, and an unmatched energetic choreography. This is truly a division that requires more than just muscle and conditioning but gymnast type athleticism and flexibility. Known for her powerful physique and athletic performance, Fredua-Mensah won over the audience as well as the judges with her impressive routine. Her win highlights the demanding combination of gymnastics routines and physique judging that defines and separates the Fitness division from any other!



Bikini International Winner: Aimee DELGADO

Aimee Delgado wins the Bikini International division with her confident stage presence, balanced proportions, polished posing and gorgeous femininity. The Bikini category demands a toned, symmetrical look combined with poise and presentation, and Delgado delivered on all fronts. Her victory in Columbus established her as one of the leading competitors in the Bikini division. Delgado will be one to watch in the future as the one to beat!



Wellness International Winner: Rayane FOGAL

Here we have two pics of the Wellness International Winner: Rayane Fogal. Why two pics? Because this is my favourite category for women! Fogal crushed the competition with her dominating lower body which is an absolute must in the Wellness category. Her muscular legs and glutes, paired with strong conditioning and confident posing helped her really stand out among a competitive field. Fogal’s win solidifies the winning streak of Brazilian athletes that have been excelling in the Wellness division over the years.



Pro Wheelchair Winner: James BERGER

Here we have a division that defines DFQ! (Don't F*cking Quit!). James Berger showcased his zero excuses drive and took first place in the Pro Wheelchair division with a commanding display of upper-body strength and conditioning. The category highlights muscular development and symmetry in the upper body, and Berger’s performance clearly separated him from the competition and he crushed it. His victory adds another major achievement to his growing list of accomplishments in professional wheelchair bodybuilding and he should be taken seriously as the man to beat moving forward!

**Special mention to two of EVO's Wheelchair athletes: @Wheels85 and @Mr.liftz


This wraps up the 2026 Arnold Classic, join me and stay tuned for another expose of the IFBB's top athletes at the Detroit Pro in Michigan on 14Mar2026!!

awesome write up @HarleyGuy I'm happy to see Andrew win but tbh he was 3rd max in the pre judging, he must have pumped up the lasix to get to this look in night show.

awesome write up @HarleyGuy I'm happy to see Andrew win but tbh he was 3rd max in the pre judging, he must have pumped up the lasix to get to this look in night show.

It's like he learned from the O. Put on some size where he needed to and came out pre a little bit puffy and then went hard on Lasix to make it undeniable in the night show. Even at the O I think he came 3rd because of this timing. Like I said in my 2nd podcast he'll win the O one day if he gets it right.

Glad to see James b smashing it as usual

Some unreal physics
Well done to everyone who entered and worked thier absoloute ass off

I dont know how hard he went on the lasix but he did so something special to come out at night that way

 

[BigVelvetG]

Thanks for this great write up. I’m just getting into this and it’s far more interesting than I imagined.

 

[Mobster]

Wellness is way too muscular

 

[stevesmi]

The physiques are getting more and more insane but that just shows you all the things at our disposal today. Can you imagine compared to where things were 50 years ago? The amount of stuff we have access to. Back then they had access to 3 or 4 steroids and barely anything else. Now we have access to everything, including these crazy good peptides.

 

[2Thick]

I think it was a heck of a competition! andrewed Jacked is well. JACKED!

 

[Ulter]

Wow the physiques keep getting more and more insane. I wonder if this is a prediction of what's gonna happen at the Olympia.

 

[leaperfr]

Wesley Vissers looked incredible. Really unfair for Sam Sulek to have to be standing next to him but Sam is a competitor. I'm sure it gave him further inspiration to understand where he came up short and what he needs to improve.

 

[ceo]

Bros, the wheelchair winner is a hero. He looks fantastic. Nobody else can make an excuse. Look at him.

 

[ROIDDERS]

Congratulations to all the winners. It is definitely stiff competition. I remember the Arnold from years ago and it was never this competitive the way it is today.

 

[PrinceDaddy]

Good recap. @HarleyGuy

I was mostly following classic physique and open BB.

Andrew Jacked brought it. Nick is big and looks awesome in some shots but not so pretty in others with his blockiness. I feel like I have the same problem. His obliques are wide and it does not give the X frame that Andrew has. Hadi has a better X frame and usually brings the conditioning. I cannot imagine what he was going thru with all the things going on in the world and his family being in Iran. Andrew is on the rise.

Vissers has the structure and conditioning. The clavicles extend well beyond the hips and he has the muscle bellies to create a aesthetic physique. He does look the part of this division. Sam Sulek looked great for his pro debut. He just did not exhibit the same structure. I've seen him do some double biceps where he looks wide, but he looked smaller. Could be that he was standing next to Vissers. I also think looking at the glute conditioning compared to other competitors he was not as lean.

All in all, good. Some day I will attend. I know it is crowed. I am a fan and I have time...

 

[LevButlerov]

Wesley Vissers looked incredible. Really unfair for Sam Sulek to have to be standing next to him but Sam is a competitor. I'm sure it gave him further inspiration to understand where he came up short and what he needs to improve.

At least Sam Sulek tried I give the kid credit @leaperfr he is trying his best to live up to the Hype, EVO family respect his way!

Was a great show! Total upset in Bikini. Lorelei should have won and I can't believe where Ashley ended up.
Men's was Andrews to lose. Will be interesting when the scorecards come out. Everyone looked harder Saturday night.
Awesome to see Wesley win but it sucked that Mike didn't make weight to push him.
Whole weekend was fun!!!! Will def be back next year. Between the O and the Arnolds I would pick the Arnolds. Great atmosphere.

 

[ballin2504]

Alot of respect for these athletes!

 

[HarleyGuy]

Wellness is way too muscular

I thought this too. That is not ‘wellness’ although she is pretty hot LOL.

 

[HarleyGuy]

Good recap. @HarleyGuy

Thanks bro I really enjoyed writing it. It was hard to stay objective haha.

 

[leaperfr]

At least Sam Sulek tried I give the kid credit @leaperfr he is trying his best to live up to the Hype, EVO family respect his way!

Personally I really like Sam. He's not a typical mogger or whatever they call it these days. Just seems like a down-to-earth humble hardworking dude from what I've seen of him on Tiktok.

Same here I'm hoping to see big things from him in the future. I do worry about his health though and him having pushed it too hard too soon. He's often out of breath just talking.

 

[leaperfr]

You're absolutely right. Ton of weight to be carrying around.

Aimee is a lot bigger & denser than LL, which is kinda where the division is headed since Fit Model was introduced. Ashley K could place better if she brought a more polished look & improved her posing to match those in the top 3.

 

[LevButlerov]

Sam is a good guy whatever his background doing top 8 at the Arnold is impressive @leaperfr

 

[HarleyGuy]

You're absolutely right. Ton of weight to be carrying around.

Yes I was actually worried a bit for him. I'm wondering if he's pushing too far past his genetics and don't want him to end up like Greg Kovacs. I'm a big fan of the guy because I like how he comes across seems to be a genuine person and good kid

 

[HarleyGuy]

Sam is a good guy whatever his background doing top 8 at the Arnold is impressive @leaperfr

Agreed, top 8 in on a stage like that for your first comp is phenomenal. I'm thinking he could be a dark horse if his health holds up but I have spidey senses his body isn't doing well.

 

[HarleyGuy]

Aimee is a lot bigger & denser than LL, which is kinda where the division is headed since Fit Model was introduced. Ashley K could place better if she brought a more polished look & improved her posing to match those in the top 3.

@Alice_In_Ironland what did you think of Rayanne in Wellness? I'm at a loss with that division I mean she was so jacked and that's why I put a second picture of her (albeit I said because she was hot but moreso because omg for 'wellness' she's so big and muscular before the comp especially). I'm a bit confused about what 'wellness' is supposed to really look like.
