The future is now!

The 2017 Arnold Classic featured some top flight competition culminating in a big win for Cedric McMillan. Many believed that the show would come down to McMillan and Dallas McCarver and indeed they were correct. Where Dallas represented himself as a mass monster among men, Cedric McMillan proved that his style of classic posing and proportions ruled the day. So what exactly does this mean for the bodybuilding standout’s future in the sport?

With so many contenders seeking to knock Phil Heath off of the top spot, Cedric McMillan once again proved himself to be a man to be reckoned with. But if he hopes to contend with those in the top five he’ll have to bring a similar package to the Olympia. Many have stated that Cedric looks amazing in the beginning of the bodybuilding season, but falls off a bit by the time of the Olympia. If that truly is the case, Cedric will have to figure out a way to either maintain his physique until then or take some well calculated time off.

As it stands, Cedric McMillan is certainly capable of out dueling many of the men in the top five. This win at the Arnold Classic is going to bolster his confidence and potentially push him to make even more improvements as he pushes forward. His conditioning was strong, his posing was strong, and his physique was on point. If Cedric McMillan can keep this up it would be no surprise if he were able to challenge Phil Heath at the Olympia later this year. But with beasts like Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssibiay, Dexter Jackson, and Shawn Rhoden still performing strong, Cedric McMillan can not afford to rest on his laurels. Now is the time for McMillan to prove that he’s not just a flash in the pan, but a true contender for the Olympia crown.
