The American trio of Victor Martinez, Akim Williams and Luke Snadoe, as well as their Brazilian counterpart Rafael Brandao, are among the IFBB Professional League bodybuilders who have received an invitation to participate in this year's Arnold Classic.

All four of the aforementioned will be looking to trouble not only the favored Roelly Winklaar, but other competitors as well, including Brandon Curry, whose form we offered you recently.

Victor Martinez, who won the second most prestigious professional bodybuilding competition in the world in 2007, will be competing here for the eighth time. Below you can see what his thigh training looks like just a few weeks before he takes to the stage.

On the other hand, Akim Williams is about to make his first start at this prestigious event. He has been one of the very powerful, but in form rather lagging fighters in the past seasons.
Has he managed to work on his presentation? We will find out soon. Now we can assess his current phase.

Luke Sandoe has experience with the Arnold Classic. He competed here in 2017, when he finished eighth.

Below you can see the form he had 8 weeks before the event.

In addition to Akim Williams, Brazilian Rafael Brandao will also make his Columbus debut. At 25 years old, he will be the youngest fighter on stage. But that doesn't mean he's a pushover. He already has enough experience, and many even consider him a top-five contender.
How do you see it?
