Rafael Brandao at the Arnold Classic 2024 is thinking about winning!

This year's 35th edition of the Arnold Classic, which will take place this coming weekend, is perceived by both the professional and the general bodybuilding public as a duel between two giants of the current professional scene, namely Hadi Choopan and Samson Dauda.

However, nine other competitors will appear on the stage, including Rafael Brandao. The latter has recently let it be known that all the predictions regarding the Arnold Classic 2024 leave him cold and he doesn't give them much weight. He believes that he could be the one to walk off the stage as the winner!

Rafael, who hails from Brazil, last wore a competition swimsuit at the Mr. Olympia 2022, where he managed to come a very solid tenth.

Rafael has been at the competition venue for several days now and was accompanied by his current coach Neil Hill. It is to his room that Rafael visits day after day to have his form assessed.

The same was the case on Monday, five days before the competition. On that occasion, a video was made, which we attach to this article.
The clip shows not only Rafael's form, but also Hill's reaction, during which he did not hide his excitement that Rafael was ready to go on stage immediately, without starting to drain.
