From the end of 2022 to the start of 2023, various notable figures in and around bodybuilding have had frank thoughts about the state of the sport. There was the iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a> expressing his fandom of reigning four-time Classic Physique Olympia champion Chris Bumstead<\/a> while noting the division should be the Olympia weekend’s main event<\/a>. There was 1983 Mr. Olympia Samir Bannout<\/a> lamenting that the Olympia qualification isn’t rigid enough<\/a> and allows too many competitors. Now, Iain Valliere, an active bodybuilder, shared some recent strong thoughts on a prominent modern competitive category. <\/p>\n

On Feb. 2, 2023, Valliere appeared in a podcast episode with Fouad Abiad Media<\/em>, discussing some of the latest pertinent bodybuilding topics like the 2023 Arnold Classic<\/a>.
