Rising Star in Men’s Physique Bodybuilding
Men’s Physique bodybuilding sensation Erin Banks is on a mission for redemption. He prepares for the 2024 Dubai Pro show. Known for his exceptional back development, Banks shared a grueling back workout on YouTube. The contest is just seven weeks away, on July 28.
Historic Wins in 2022
Banks rose to prominence in 2022 by clinching both the Arnold Classic and the Men’s Physique Olympia titles. He became the first competitor in his category to achieve this feat in the same year. His victory was marked by his awe-inspiring physique and defined lats. These helped him overcome former three-time champion Brandon Hendrickson. Banks successfully defended his Arnold Classic title in 2023. This solidified his place at the top of Men’s Physique bodybuilding.
Setback at the 2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro
However, Banks faced a setback at the 2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro. He risked competing close to the Mr. Olympia contest and lost to Kyron Holden. This loss affected his momentum. He finished in third place at the 2023 Mr. Olympia. Ryan Terry took the top spot and Hendrickson finished second.
