With the Arnold Classic just weeks away, I thought it could be fun to create an open and classic prediction thread. I happen to think this is one of the most exciting times for bodybuilding in recent history and the AC as well as the Olympia should be super high level competitions this year. Let's see your top five predictions!

Confirmed competitor list Men's Open:
  • Lionel Beyeke
  • William Bonac
  • Maxx Charles
  • Seung Chul Lee
  • Mokhamed El Emam
  • Steve Kuclo
  • Hassan Mostafa
  • Sergio Oliva JR
  • Justin Rodriguez
  • Iaian Valliere
  • Nick Walker
  • Akim Williams
  • Roelly Winklaar

TOP FIVE

1. Iaian Valliere
2. William Bonac
3. Steve Kuclo
4. Nick Walker
5. Sergio Olivia JR


Very hard top five to select as the competitor list is pretty stacked. However I think Iaian has got so much momentum behind him and keeps getting better each show, that's why I have him for the win. William Bonac is the defending champion, however he apparently has switched coaches this prep and I don't know if he can nail it on the first outing. Sergio could be higher than fifth as the word is he has added more muscle but I follow him on Instagram and he seems to have a lot going on right now in his personal life, plus I believe it is his first showing in 2 years. I think Nick will be top five but I don't see him getting the nod over Steve Kuclo if Kuclo is improved from the Texas Pro.


Confirmed Competitor List Classic Physique:
  • Alex Cambronero
  • Deontrai Campbell
  • Jarek Crew
  • Logan Franklin
  • Bryan Jones
  • Fabian Mayr
  • Peter Molnar
  • Courage Opara
  • Terrance Ruffin
  • Tony Taveras
  • Dani Younan

TOP FIVE:

1. Bryan Jones
2. Alex Cambronero
3. Logan Franklin
4. Terrance Ruffin
5. Dani Younan

I realize Terrance Ruffin was second to Bumstead at the Olympia, however with his coach passing away and his surgery, as well as his recent updates, I don't think he will be as good as he was last year. I have been following Bryan Jones closely this year and he looks incredible. Again, some high level competitors here so it should be an interesting one!

Great thoughts you've shared here. It is a great time isn't it? Way too close to call from the cheap seats, very exciting. The O should be awesome too. Al I will say is that I'm a fan of Nick's so I hope he does well and a win in not out of the question.

I know none of the current bodybuilders, except Sergio's son, as my interest has changed significantly towards lifting and BB.

I also have lost a lot of respect for Arnold, one of the main promotors of BB, as he talks down to people who has different views than him. Calling people Schmucks that do not take Covid Vaccine goes without saying this guy does not know what he is talking about. PPL have died from taking the vaccine... The vaccine has not been thoroughly tested over time, so we do not know the long term effects on people, The have found small amounts of contaminates in Moderna. And health officials/politicians have recommended taking altrazenica, 3 of them died of blood clots that the scientific community knew of, but Trudeau put his rubber stamp on it (moron) any way. Vaccinated people can still transmit covid. So Arnold get a brain and quit trying to use your celebrity influence to get ppl to make subjective decisions you favor.
 
For those of us that come to this form for a nice break from the days realities and enjoy a friendly chat with like-minded folks….can’t we just leave this thread a nice simple bodybuilding chat and not bring Covid or politics into it. Please and Thanks

Top 5 open

1. Akim
2. Vailliere
3. Nick walker
4. Maxx
5. Bonac

Iain will look amazing but Akim has finally dialed it in... Plus switching to Kuwait coaching.. It's a scary thought what they could make him look like. Maxx will look killer and battle with Nick for 3rd. Bonac will battle Sergio for 5th. I think his legs will continue to be downsized and not even the camel crew can bring them back. He switched camps out of desperation. Roelly will be massive but spilled over and bloated... As will Kuclo. Sergio will be peeled and could be a toss up to steal 5th over Bonac

Classic top 5

1. Bryan Jones
2. Ruffin
3. Cambronero
4. Molnar
5.Franklin

Lord Jones is an absolute wrecking ball. He's going to be the next cp Olympia once Cbum leaves or Loses. Molnar is amazing and will be top3 at Olympia one day
 
Only names I know are Sergio and Nick Walker. I used to follow so closely but for some reason its just not a priority.

I am glad we are doing this!
 
In order

1. Iain
2. Bonac
3. Kuclo
4. Walker
5. Roelly but only if he has improved. He has the potential to place higher, but he’s been off this year.
