Columbus, Ohio, welcomed the 2026 Arnold Classic Physique finals on March 6 at the Battelle Grand inside the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The show began at 7 PM EST and saw Wesley Vissers emerge victorious in Classic Physique, earning his second title at this prestigious contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lineup was dealt a last-minute blow when reigning champ Mike Sommerfeld was unable to meet the weight cap<\/a> for Classic Physique. The show went on without him, and a few contenders fought for center stage. Wesley Vissers (2024 AC champ<\/a>) showcased dramatic improvement in his leg width, detail, and fullness. This gave his physique more balance, lending itself to the division\u2019s standard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Matheus Menegate presented a stellar look; conditioning and V-taper were on point, giving his side poses more pop. Having placed seventh at the 2025 Olympia<\/a>, Menegate has quickly established himself as a top-tier Classic Physique threat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vissers\u2019 Golden Era look set the tone early, but Menegate held his own, thanks to his upper body density and conditioning from the front. After a final posedown, Wesley Vissers secured his second title at the Arnold Classic. Matheus Menegate took second place, and Andrea Mammoli finished in third place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
