Hidetada Yamagishi is looking stellar in his return to Open Weight.

Years back, before dropping down to the 212 division, Hidetada Yamagishi was one of the standouts in the Open Weight category. While he wasn’t as big as competitors like Kai Greene and Phil Heath, he certainly had some great genetics and presentation that made him a sight to behold. Nevertheless, Hidetada Yamagishi would eventually make the decision to go to the 212 division where he’s remained for a few years now.

That is, until this weekend.

The 2018 Arnold Classic marks Hidetada Yamagishi’s return to the Open Weight division and for his return he’s put on a tremendous amount of muscle. Take a look at the post below that features Hidetada in his insanely shredded glory.
