Victor Martinez Reacts: The Reason Nick Walker & Andrew Jacked Didn’t Win The 2023 Arnold Classic

Pro bodybuilder Victor Martinez and Pro Natural Bodybuilder Brandon Lirio break down the results of the 2023 Arnold Classic - with special guest Shaun Clarida.

Going into the finals of the 2023 Arnold Classic - it was truly impossible to predict exactly who would win the title. It was a three way race between Samson Dauda, Nick Walker, and Andrew Jacked. Their physiques were so close that even the slightest of changes could give one competitor an edge over the others. In the end, Dauda out-worked the rest of the competition and won the trophy. In our latest episode of the Generation Iron Podcast, Victor Martinez and Brandon Lirio share their reaction and analysis to the 2023 Arnold Classic.

[brandonlirio-worldsstronge]

What a great show it was guys, and thank you to EVERYONE who took time to give us their predictions and reactions!

[OldSchoolApprentice]

Victor looks like the bodybuilding version of Vin Diesel :D sounds like him too...

[rickyshaw]

Nick clearly won the show it's Arnold's show and Arnold' got what he wanted Nick got Screwed big time

[nivlekloen]

Where was Nick first place? what I saw on the cards Samson lead on both days!
All I know is that this Olympia 2023 shall be epic with the return of big Ramy!

Andrew Jacked and Samson are in a league of their own.

2:20 what gives? Victor said he saw the score cards and that Nick was ahead the first night but we've all seen the score cards too and we know tha wasn't the case, nick was not ahead Samson was the clear cut leader both nights. So what gives? Someone is mistaken or lying, either Victor is mistaken or the judges lied and changed the score cards??? Am i missing something here?

They judge bodybuilding the way it should be judged perfection

[shawncalderon]

If Shaun is a giant killer does that make Big Ramy the midget killer? Putting Akim below Shaun is a joke. Open bodybuilding is about size, symmetry and conditioning. Shaun is tiny compared to the big boys and his chest is too small for his own shoulders and arms. He also lacks gut control…If they are going to let dwarves compete in the open then they are going to lose fans.

The real results:-
1 NICK WALKER
2 ANDREW J
3 Samson

[RonBaezclassic]

This was great Vic! U should do one weekly

[mindgames]

Crazy now we have had two shows where judging not based off politics took place

[jasonito]

It´s strange that Victor said he saw the score cards and ¨they had Nick ahead¨ then changed at the night show. That´s not true. The scorecards have been released and they had Samson ahead in prejudging and night show. What´s going on here?

[kevinsantos]

Politics has been in bodybuilding since I was a kid in the 80s Nick Walker one every pose except for the front lat spread that's politics Arnold does not like the Nick Walker look that's politics

[vshape]

what is he talking about.... nick actually got better for finals and samson got worse...

[darrickwilliams]

Man I've done millions of reps and never built arms like that Vic😮😢 looking incredible! You always motivate me to train harder that's why I've always admired you and respected you so MUCH 💪 definitely one of the best bodybuilders of ALL TIMES

[henryromain]

Andrew the only one not using freaking synthol too
