Here is a full breakdown of the 2023 Olympia Men’s Physique prejudging.

The 2023 Men’s Physique division was not lacking storylines entering prejudging of the 2023 Olympia on Saturday morning, Nov. 4th. 

Erin Banks was crowned champion for the first time on the Olympia stage in 2022. He opted to compete just a couple months later and was victorious once again during the 2023 Arnold Classic. Banks has never been shy about competition and returned to the stage just three weeks ago during the 2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro. The reigning champion was defeated by Kyron Holden, who has hopes of winning on Saturday night.

If that was not enough, four-time champion Jeremy Buendia made his return to the Olympia stage and gave the field another former winner, along with Brandon Hendrickson. Banks defeated Hendrickson last year after winning three titles in the previous four years.

This was half of the group in the first callout, which featured eight competitors. Banks and Hendrickson were placed in the middle to begin but Ryan Terry impressed and switched with Banks early on. Steve Weinberger then sent Hendrickson and Terry off stage to get a better look at the six remaining.

The final callout was much of the same, with Emanuel Hunter thrown into the final four as well. Terry and Hendrickson ended up back in the middle for comparison.
