The Arnold Sports UK starts today, and it’s always a bit surreal arriving at a show like this. You spend months in a very controlled routine—training, diet, recovery—and then suddenly you’re here, surrounded by athletes who’ve done the same.
The Men’s Physique lineup is a strong one this year:
- Joshua Atease (GBR)
- Alessandro Cavagnola (ITA)
- Vitor Chaves (BRA)
- Riccardo Croci (ITA)
- Andrei Deiu (ROU)
- Paul Gustave (FRA)
- Emanual Hunter (USA)
- Benquil Marigny (USA)
- Clarence Mcspadden (USA)
- Nam Tran Quang (POL)
- Tyler Smith (USA)
Prejudging is Saturday from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with Finals later that evening from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM (UK time). View the full event schedule here. The event is being streamed live here:

I’ll also be at the Meet & Greet on Friday from 1:00–3:00 p.m. and again on Sunday from 12:00–2:00 p.m., so if you’re at the expo, feel free to stop by and say hello!
