Nick Walker, Andrew Jacked and Patrick Moore to compete at Arnold Classic 2023

At the beginning of March, the next edition of the prestigious Arnold Classic will take place, which, next to Olympia, ranks among the best you can find in the world of bodybuilding competitions. Although two competitors have already declined their invitation to this year's event, a replacement was immediately found, as Nick Walker, Patrick Moor and Andrew Chinedu have promised their participation!

Men's Open

• William Bonac
• Samson Dauda
• Shaun Clarida
• Akim Williams
• Blessing Awodibu - declined
• Charles Griffin- declined
• Justin Rodriguez
• Kamal Elgargni
• Nick Walker
• Patrick Moor
• Andrew Chinedu

The big draw of this year's Arnold Classic will undoubtedly be the confirmed participation of Nick Walker, who finished third at Olympia last year . It is clear that Nick will want to defend his title from 2021 at this prestigious event.

Patrick Moore won the California Pro the season before last to qualify for the 2021 Mr. Olympia, where he placed 14th. After a lackluster performance, Moore decided to take a break from racing for a while and even teased a potential move to the Classic Physique division upon his return. In the end, he would return to the open division after all.

So the next person we'll see at Arnold will be Andrew Chinedu, who just a year ago won his pro card at this amateur event. So after a year he returns to the scene but this time among the pros.

We're excited to announce that one year after taking the Arnold Amateur Bodybuilding Total 2022 title, @andrewjacked returns to Columbus in pursuit of the Arnold Classic Championship!"
