The 2022 Arnold Classic Prejudging is scheduled for Friday, March 4,
2022, from 7-9:30 p.m. EST at the Battelle Grand Ballroom in the
Columbus Convention Center. The finals will occur the following
evening from 7-9 p.m. EST.
Bodybuilders will gather on an international scale and vie for gold at
the Battelle Grand Ballroom of the Greater Columbus Convention Center,
Ohio. Earlier this year, the show attracted plenty of attention after
announcing that Classic Physique would see a dramatic increase in
prize money from $6,000 to $60,000. The show will be one to remember,
and there are plenty of top bodybuilders in Men’s Open and Classic
Physique that have fans quite excited for the show.
Returning 2019 Arnold champ, Brandon Curry will participate at the
show and has a chip on his shoulder after scoring runner-up at Olympia
back-to-back years. 2020 Arnold Classic winner William Bonac will
also be looking to re-establish himself as one of the best in the
world. 2021 Arnold Classic champ, Nick Walker has decided to focus
on improving his physique for 2022 Mr. Olympia instead of trying to
defend his Arnold title. Meanwhile, defending Arnold Classic Physique
champion Terrence Ruffin is also a big favorite heading into the
second biggest show of the year.

Men’s Open Bodybuilding Lineup
To many fans, the Men’s Open division is the crown jewel of this
bodybuilding show. 2019 Mr. Olympia and Arnold Classic
winner Brandon Curry will look to dominate the stage after placing in
second two years running at Mr. Olympia. In addition, 2020 Arnold
champ, William Bonac will also be vying for the number one spot when
he hits Columbus, Ohio.
While four notable competitors have bowed out due to injury, the
lineup still looks incredibly strong. Some of the younger athletes
like Brett Wilkin and Regan Grimes are determined to have stellar
showings as well.
