The 2025 Arnold Classic Physique competition delivered an intense showdown. Mike Sommerfeld walked away with the title, proving he’s one of the top names in the division.
This victory is huge for Sommerfeld, especially after his runner-up finish at the 2024 Olympia.
Now, he’s officially a champion at one of bodybuilding’s most prestigious events.
The event took place on Friday, 28th February from 7 to 9.30 pm in Ohio, Columbus
Top 5 Placings:

- Matthew Greggo – Third place
- Michael Daboul – Fourth place
- Wesley Vissers – Fifth place
A Battle for the Title
From prejudging to the finals, it was clear that Mike Sommerfeld meant business.
His classic lines and razor sharp posing gave him the edge over others. Mike’s back double biceps and rear lat spread was the hot favourite among other contestants.
Logan Franklin, who finished second, also put on an incredible performance and was rewarded with the Best Poser Award for his outstanding presentation.
What’s more interesting? Logan Franklin wasn’t a part of last year’s Arnold classic, but his genetics and potential brings him a runner-up position in this event.
What’s Next for Sommerfeld?
This win isn’t just another trophy—it cements Sommerfeld as a top contender for the 2025 Olympia.
If he can carry this momentum to the biggest stage in bodybuilding, we might see him challenge for the Olympia Classic Physique title next.
