Highlights from the 2025 Arnold Classic Classic Physique prejudging.
The The Classic Physique division has been dominated by reigning six-time Olympia champ Chris Bumstead but the door has been opened with him announcing his retirement. Now, some of the best in the world are looking to do so on the Arnold Classic stage.

Wesley Vissers will return to defend his title from last season after falling down the scorecard at the Olympia. Heading into the event, Mike Sommerfeld is looking to remain near the top after finishing as the runner-up to Bumstead on the biggest stage in the sport.
Vissers and Sommerfeld came into the event as the battle to watch but the young, rising stars in bodybuilding stepped up their game as well. This includes Logan Franklin and Matthew Greggo. Both competitors have been up-and-coming in the Classic Physique division and impressed from the start.
In the fourth and final callout, it seems as though there was a shift in the top two. Vissers was featured in the third callout while Franklin was brought back out for comparisons with Sommerfeld. Since the Olympia, Sommerfeld has been viewed as one of contenders to take over the division and it can begin here at the Arnold Classic.
