<h2 style="text-align: center">Arnold Classic 2024</h2>
In 1989, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Lorimer started the Arnold Sports Festival. The festival is celebrating its 36th year in 2024. What started as a humble effort by seven-time Mr. Olympia and Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger and legendary promoter Jim Lorimer has evolved into one of the world's most prestigious bodybuilding and sporting events. Rivaling the Super Bowl of bodybuilding, the IFBB Mr. Olympia, in many aspects, the Arnold Classic 2024 promises to be the grandest edition of the over three-decade-old event.
<h2 style="text-align: center">The history of the Arnold Classic</h2>
The Arnold Classic started after Arnie and Lorimer made good on their handshake agreement from 1970. In 2019, Arnold Schwarzenegger told the Columbus Dispatch that he met Lorimer at the most important event of his life. "It was the first bodybuilding show in which I defeated a very important competitor, Sergio Oliva, and I did it on neutral ground â€” Columbus," said Schwarzenegger.

Schwarzenegger was so impressed that promised Lorimer to return to Columbus. After the pair teamed up to hold the Mr. Olympia at Columbus, Ohio between 1976 and 1986, they founded the Arnold Classic in 1989. Since then, Schwarzenegger and Lorimer continued to organize the Arnold Sports Festival and its crown jewel The Arnold Classic. Unfortunately Jim Lorimer, the attorney, FBI agent, Mayer of Worthington, Ohi, and legendary promoter passed away in 2022. The 36th Arnold Classic is the second edition of the contest without Lorimer.
<h2 style="text-align: center">A look at past Arnold Classic champions</h2>
While the 36th Arnold Classic champion is yet to be crowned. 35 years have produced multiple champions, including those who have also won the Mr. Olympia multiple times. Two-time Mr. Olympia runner-up Rich Gaspari holds the distinction of being the inaugural champion in 1989. Mike Ashley won in 1990, Shaw Ray won the title in 1991, and Vince Taylor in 1992.

However, Flex Wheeler started his reign in 1993. The Sultan of Symmetry won the title four times in 1993, 1997, 1998, and 2000. In between Flex Wheeler's reign, Kevin Levrone won the title in 1994 and 1996, Mike Francois won in 1995 and Nasser El Sonbaty won in 1999. Ronnie Coleman made history by becoming the first man to win the Mr. Olympia and the Arnold Classic in the same season in 2001.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2357316 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Arnold-Classic-2023-1.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="1080" />

Coleman's rival and four-time Mr. Oympia Jay Cutler won three Arnold Classic titles consecutively from 2002 to 2004. Then came Dexter Jackson, the man who holds the record for the most Arnold Classic wins. Between 2005 to 2015, The Blade won five times in 2005, 2006, 2008, 20013, and 2015. Victor Martinez won in 2007. Kai Green won in 2009 and 2010 and finally in 2016.

Branch Warren won in 2011 and 2012. German bodybuilder Dennis Wolf won in 2014 before the late Cedric McMillan won't in 2017. William Bonca won in 2018 and 2020, followed by only the third man to both the Arnold Classic and the Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry in 2019 and 2022. Nick Walker won in 2021, before becoming runner-up to defending champion Smason Samson Dauda.
<h2 style="text-align: center">When is the Arnold Classic 2024 taking place?</h2>
Samson 'The Nigerian Lion' Dauda will compete to earn his second consecutive Arnold Classic title on the 1st and 2nd of March 2024. The 2024 Arnold Sports Festival will start on 29th February 29th and end on 3rd March 2024. The Arnold Expo, which is part of the ASF will be held from 1st to 3rd March 2024. Historically the Arnold Classic has always been held between late February and the first week of March. The only time this didn't happen was in 2021 due to the coronavirus lockdown. In 2021 the second most prestigious bodybuilding event happened in September.
<h2 style="text-align: center">The venue of Arnold Classic 2024</h2>
However, the venue of the Arnold Classic has always remained the same. The 2024 Arnold Classic will be held at Greater Columbus Convention Center, in Columbus, Ohio. Since Lorimer and Arnie shook hands to hold the event in Columbus, they have never changed venues. The massive Convention Center houses at least 900 booths during the Arnold Sports Festival and more athletes than the Olympics participate in the annual event in Ohio. Thanks to this long-standing tradition, the ASF even provides discounted hotel accommodation for those attending the show. Everyone attending the show will also have numerous ticket options.
<h2 style="text-align: center">What is the ticket price for the Arnold Classic 2024?Â </h2>
There is a plethora of ticket categories for the 2024 Arnold Classic. The prices for tickets range between $20 to an eye-watering $799. $20 will get you the Thursday Admission (Weightlifting) ticket. With this pass event goers will only be able to attend the Weightlifting event on 29th February.

This tier also included the Ultimate Expo Pass which costs $159 when bought separately. However, the $799 ticket doesn't mention anything about the photo ops with the Arnold Classic special guests. Each photo-op session costs $50 and there is a sixth slot where two of the guests will team up and that pass costs $80. Hence one looking to attend every photo-op will have to dish out $330.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopan: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more</h2>
Hadi Choopan started his journey from a small town in Iran. Despite the odds being stacked against him, the modern-day bodybuilding icon made the most of his circumstances. Choopan made the most of his talents, relentlessly competing until he won the Mr. Olympia, the most prestigious title in bodybuilding. However, despite reaching the pinnacle of the sport, Hadi Choopan didn't rest on his laurels. After a controversial loss to Derek Lunsford in 2023, The Persian Wolf is hungry for redemption.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Hadi Choopan?Â </h2>
IFBB Pro Hadi Choopan is a former Mr. Olympia who won the title in 2022. The 36-year-old is a veteran bodybuilder who has been competing since he was just a 15-year-old teen. The bodybuilder first tasted success in local competitions in his home province of Fars in Southern Iran. Banking on his genetics and ability to rapidly gain muscle, Choopan climbed the ranks and, with immense dedication, conquered bodybuilding in 2022, becoming the first Mr. Olympia from Iran. A dream he nurtured from childhood became reality.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopanâ€™s Early LifeÂ </h2>
Hadi Choopan was born on 26th September 1987 in Abnow in the Sepidan County, Fars Province, in Southern Iran. Choopan was born into poverty, and his family was no better off than most families in a region strapped with financial struggles. Hence, Choopan had no other option but to start earning for his family at a very young age. In fact, the then-future Mr. Olympia champion worked two jobs, peddling goods and working in construction.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1413874 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Hadi-Choopan-1.jpg" alt="Hadi Choppan" width="1109" height="614" />

Despite facing such harsh circumstances, Hadi Choopan found solace in bodybuilding. His interest drove him to start working out at 13. However, standing at 5'7", Choopan is among the shorter bodybuilders on stage, as a child, he was shorter and smaller. However, that didn't discourage him as he posed in front of family and friends, who didn't encourage his hobby. Yet, Choopan would eventually prove them wrong.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopanâ€™s Wife and Children</h2>
The 2022 Mr. Olympia keeps his personal life private. Although he has become more active on social media in recent months, and even his kids have made an appearance in some of his videos, no information on Hadi Choopan's wife is available at the time of writing. The bodybuilder has three children. Mohammad-Hafez Choopan is the 36-year-old's eldest son, and Nadiya Choopan is his daughter and second child. However, the name of Choopan's youngest son is unknown at the time of writing as well.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopanâ€™s Net Worth 2024 (Update)</h2>
Although no concrete information on Hadi Choopan's net worth is available, he's reportedly worth approximately $5 million. In 2022, Choopan earned $400,000 from his Olympia win alone. In 2023, he earned $150,000 as the runner-up. The bodybuilder has also recently opened the Choopan Classic Gym in District 9, Shiraz, Fars Province, Iran. However, nothing is known about any other business ventures that the former champion might have in his country.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopan Career Timeline</h2>
Hadi Choopan started training under Jamshid Owji. Owji made him train with only 5 kg (11 lbs) because he was an underweight 13-year-old kid. However, the ambitious bo quickly started gaining muscle. Choopan placed third at a national-level bodybuilding contest just three years after starting his training. In the following contest, The Persian Wolf won for the first time in a province-wide contest. In 2005, Choopan became national champion. Following his victory, the bodybuilder stopped training with Owji and trained on his own.

However, Choopan continued to win even without a coach. The national champion won a silver medal at the WBPF World Bodybuilding Championship while training by himself. In 2013, he teamed up with Ali Neâ€™mati. Under Ne'mati, Choopan made a name for himself in international contests. Hadi Choopan's career really took off once he met Hany Rambod in 2017.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2308241 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Dereek-Lunsford-Hany-Rambod-Hadi-Choopan.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="1080" />

Under Hany Rambod, Choopan entered the 2017 Amateur Mr. Olympia and won. He then started making rapid improvements. Despite the improvements he made, visa issues prevented the bodybuilder from competing at prestigious competitions like the 2018 Arnold Classic and Mr. Olympia. Thankfully, he hasn't faced any similar issues since 2019.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopanâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</h2>
The 2022 Mr. Olympia became an Evogen Nutrition-sponsored athlete shortly after teaming up with Hany Rambod. Evogen Nutrition is Rambod's brand, and so far, it seems Choopan is only associated with Evogen. The 36-year-old has also listed Evogne as his only sponsor on all social media handles. Even if he has teamed up with other sponsors on occasion no information is available on such collabs.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopanâ€™s Career Stats, Major Achievements and Awards</h2>
Hadi Choopans has been competing for love for two decades and has been incredibly active throughout. The bodybuilder didn't suffer any significant injuries during his career and has turned into a prolific competitor.

</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopanâ€™s workout and diet</h2>
While many debates on whether high-intensity or high-volume is the ideal approach for building muscle, Hadi Choopan does both. The bodybuilding champion employs a unique method of training with high intensity in one day. During the following workout, the bodybuilder trains the same muscle groups but with high volume. Choopan's unique approach contributes to his consistent and incredible onstage conditioning.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1410170 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/chris-bumstead-hadi-choopan-quads-workout.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

This hybrid approach to training and varying rest periods in accordance with strength and volume days help Choopan stay shredded. Thanks to this approach, Choopan doesn't do any dedicated cardio sessions. The following is an example of how Choopan trains one muscle group.
<h4>Chest - Strength Day (2 to 3 min rest periods)</h4>
<ul>
 	<li>Incline Bench Press:Â 5 sets x 5 reps</li>
 	<li>Flat Smith-Machine Chest Press: 5 sets x 5 reps</li>
 	<li>Incline Dumbbell Press:Â 3 sets x 5-8 reps</li>
 	<li>Weighted Dips:Â 3 sets x 6-8 reps</li>
 	<li>Heavy Cable Flys:Â 3 sets x 4-6 reps</li>
</ul>
<h4>Chest - Hypertrophy/Volume Day (30 sec rest periods)</h4>
<ul>
 	<li>Incline Dumbbell Press:Â 3 sets x 10-12 reps</li>
 	<li>Flat Barbell Bench Press:Â 5 sets x 8-12 reps</li>
 	<li>Incline Flys:Â 4 sets x10-12 reps</li>
 	<li>Dips:Â 4 sets x 10-12 reps</li>
 	<li>Dumbbell Pullovers:Â 4 sets x 10-12 reps</li>
 	<li>Push-Ups (superset, with cable flys):Â 4 sets x 12 reps</li>
 	<li>Flat Bench Dumbbell Flys (lightweight, finisher):Â 5 sets 10-12 reps (drop set last set)</li>
</ul>
Choopan also follows specialized training under Hany Rambods, like the 24-time Olympia-winning coach's FST-7 training protocol.

The Persian Wolf follows a strict diet and supplementation protocol. The bodybuilder doesn't have too much variety in his diet. He eats brown rice, avocados, red and white meats. His supplement stack contains Whey protein isolate, BCAAs, L-carnitine, Fish Oil, and Multivitamins.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Hadi Choopanâ€™s car collectionÂ </h2>
The 2022 Mr. Olympia winner doesn't like to flaunt his wealth on social media. Hence, barely any information about his material possessions is available. However, the bodybuilding icon reportedly owns four cars. Choopan owns a Hummer H2. Interestingly, seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger was the one responsible for the existence of the Hummer.

Besides the mammoth SUV, Choopan reportedly owns a Mercedes Convertible (unknown model). He owns another SUV, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (unknown model year), and a Mitsubishi Lancer (3rd Gen), the iconic 'sleeper' sedan.
