The Classic Physique division is still in its early stages compared to the other men’s competitive categories, but already it has spawned several superstars. One of the newest is the man on this month’s cover, Germany’s Urs Kalecinski, who is known to his fans the world over as “The Miracle Bear.” Going into 2022, he already had a pro win and a top-four finish at the Olympia. In March, he followed that up with a third spot at the Arnold Classic, then back-to-back wins at the Boston Pro and Kuwait Pro.
