2022 Iron Gladiator Results

Johnnie Peeples wins the 2022 Iron Gladiator!

The 2022 Iron Gladiator took place on Sunday, April 10, 2022, in Corona, California. To close the weekend strong, it was Johnnie Peeples who was victorious. 

The turnout for the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) 2022 Iron Gladiator was smooth, with many new faces and first-time competitors. At least one athlete represented just about every category offered. And the Men’s Physique division was so packed that it was separated into short, medium, and tall. 

Although the show was filled with new contenders, it saw some fierce ones, including Ire Wardlaw. Wardlaw performed her Wonder Woman poses flawlessly, earning her the Most Symmetrical and Iron Gladiator Shield award. Some familiar faces were at the show as well like Siah-Ra Ausar, who took control of the Classic Physique – Masters (40-49) class. Ausar competed at the most significant natural bodybuilding competition last year – 2021 Natural Olympia – in the Men’s Bodybuilding Masters division and placed in the top five. 

The results from the show have been announced. Check out the full breakdown from the 2022 Iron Gladiator below.
