It was quite a year for Erin Banks in 2022. He began the season with a victory at the 2022 Arnold Classic and was looking to defend his title. He followed it up with an Olympia title in December, reaching the pinnacle of the division. He entered the weekend with hopes of making it back-to-back titles in Columbus.
