So as the world tries to deal with the Covid-19 spread, my brother in law (who had qualified and planned to compete at the Arnold Expo this weekend) informed me that the entire event has been canceled.
I guess thousands of people traveling from all over to congregate in a giant enclosed space seemed like a dicey endeavor as health officials appear unclear on exactly how to contain this newfound disease.

From what Iām reading, at this point itās just the booths that are cancelled, but general admission tickets can still get you in to watch the athletes compete. But a lot of conflicting information out there right now. Some places have said you need to have a ticket already, some not.
As of late last night what I heard was that athletes can show up and compete but no spectatorsā¦ Iām sure this is all over the place in terms of what best to do.
S
yea, official word is that spectators ARE allowed, as of what I read about 15 minutes ago lol. Iāve found it in a few places now. Hopefully it stays that way.
āThe 2020 Arnold Sports Festival Expo has been cancelled, but the Arnold Classic competition will go on. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: If spectators already have a ticket they can attendā
The night show on Saturday is also going on as planned, for the BB and Pro Strongman finals.
What is that going to do to the competitors that have been cutting to time their peak condition to occur at this place/time?
They canāt just stay like that for an unlimited amount of time, or just exist in a ā4 weeks outā state until the new time and date is established, can they?
2021 Arnold will be on, 6 months away and fitness YouTuber Jujimufu will compete the Amateur show:

Hard to comprehend a social media personality actually competing lol
I donāt know the name (donāt really follow YouTube fitness folk), but thatās a pretty impressive looking pic if heās doing the Amateur class. Iād be curious to see his hams, calves And back from better angles to really assess though.

Would 6 months out still be off season training? He seems like heās mid cut.
He had been doing a cut recently before he was going to even do the show so now he might try put some more weight back on a bit. Think he said he gained a few more lbs back now
Looking forward to seeing Jujimufu compete. Conditioning seems to be pretty good, especially for amateur
Having not seen his recent (not sure how long itās been) progress, Iām pretty damn impressed. Obviously the dudes been pretty big for a while, but this is damn impressive. Never guessed from the bideos Iāve seen in the past heād look like this lean.
