Josh Lenartowicz Out of the Arnold Classic

Arnold Sports Festival Preview 2017

According to RisingMuscle.com,

"The reasons behind Josh decision to not compete at this years Arnold Classic Columbus Ohio 4th of March should be personal. There is no further information to report at this point in time. Josh has made a quite impressive advancement on the pro circuit since his debut.  Lennartowicz has 2 pro wins, IFBB San Marino Pro 2015 and the 2015 IFBB Ferrigno Legacy."

Joshua also posted this on his personal Instagram account; he's cancelled his appearance in Sydney, Australia as well.

In a statement, he said, "I had some personal things that took priority over my commitment to my bodybuilding career for a couple of weeks, if it was anything else that wasn't this important I would have blocked it out and competed."

He just wasn't willing to get on stage at less than his best because he was unable to put 100% into this prep. We respect the fact that he puts his family first, and that's what important.
