Bodybuilding is a physical sport for which bodybuilders spend years creating their immaculate physiques. However, it is equally about mental strength and strategy as well. Recently, IFBB Pro, Ian Valliere, showed his far-sightedness when he replied to one of his Instagram followers. In a Q&A session by Valliere, he was asked about his decision to not compete in the Arnold Classic 2023. Valliere responded with the reasons he had in mind and why he was not up for the challenge this year.

Sharing his personal opinions via an Instagram story, Ian Valliere reasons why he is not competing in Arnold Classic this year. Let us have a look at what Ian had to say about it.

Bodybuilding Pro decides not to compete in Arnold Classic 2023

For a sportsperson, a year consists of a limited number of opportunities to show their best. Similarly, in bodybuilding, there are a few competitions in a year where a bodybuilder can display their best physique and conquer the titles. Mr. Olympia and Arnold Classic are the most prestigious titles with hefty prize money that follows after conquering them. However, Ian Valliere decided to drop Arnold Classic to concentrate on what lies ahead.

In the Q&A session, a fan asked, “Why not enter the Arnold? Would compete for top 3.” Valliere replied with the reasoning and wrote, “I’ve already been 2nd at the Arnold. I’m not going to beat Nick right now so I ain’t winning 300k, so the time can be used much more effectively imo.”

Therefore, he decided to concentrate on his conditioning and wait for the right time to dive into competitions.
