Eric Brown Jr.
Also known as Eric L. Brown.
Brown Jr. is the defending champion, having won the 2023 edition of the contest; his first pro win. The sixth-year pro made his Olympia debut in 2023, finishing outside the top 15. Brown Jr. has yet to qualify for the 2024 Olympia going into this contest, but a title defense would stick his ticket for the Olympia.
Eric Abelon
Abelon will compete for the second straight week, having come off a fourth-place finish at the 2024 Charlotte Pro in Charlotte, NC. That is the 2021 NPC National Champion’s best placing in the pro ranks in his four-year pro career.
Kendahl Richmond
The 2023 Arnold Amateur winner made his first appearance of 2024 at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, OH, when he finished in 10th overall. Wesley Vissers left as champion.
Richmond will likely enter this event more ripped and conditioned as he received feedback from the judges at previous shows like the 2023 Pittsburgh Pro, where he finished ninth.
Other Notes
This is one of two pro Classic Physique shows taking place on April 13, 2024. The other is at the Tri-City Pro in Columbus, GA. The winner of that show will also qualify for the 2024 Olympia.
