Winner – Ali Bilal
There was little doubt who would win this competition, and Bilal came through at the end of the day. This is his first Arnold victory, and he was already qualified for the 2025 Men’s Physique Olympia. Therefore, no qualification was awarded at this show.
Second Place – Erin Banks
Two-time champion Banks was hoping to become the second man to win three titles. Silver is what he is leaving the stage with, though. As a former Olympia winner, he remains qualified for the 2025 Olympia.
Third Place – Diogo Montenegro
The 2024 champion was a favorite to repeat this year, but it was not meant to be. Nonetheless, a top-three finish is nothing to be ashamed of. However, he must win a show this season to qualify for the 2025 Men’s Physique Olympia.
