2023 Arnold Classic Men’s Open Prejudging Report & Analysis

Highlights from the 2023 Arnold Classic Men’s Open Prejudging.

The Men’s Open division took the stage on Friday night for the first time for callouts. There was a total of 10 competitors competing during the 2023 Arnold Classic title in Columbus.

In the first callout, there were the usual names but Shaun Clarida made his way in. Clarida was a surprise entry over William Bonac in the first group. Nick Walker and Big Ramy headlined the group, along with Andrew Jacked and Samson Dauda.

Early on, the conditioning of Walker took over but Clarida was right there with him. The overall size of the athletes was incredible on night one. As the callouts went on, judges seemed to set a top three of Walker, Dauda, and Jacked.

Below, take a look at the breakdown of the Men’s open prejudging on Friday night.
