Classic Physique

[tgrub1]

I like the idea, interested to see where it goes

Have they given out weight/height limitations yet? I can't seem to locate a chart I found awhile back. I think my height was like 198 lbs or something.

Oh man. Dropping 52 lbs to hit that, ouch. I haven't even started considering which show I should aim for, or if I can even enter any show NPC at will or if I need to win a smaller one.


Thanks for finding that.

How will they compare different "favorite classic" poses...?

They usually say if they're open to amateur competitors. My younger brother has done a couple and has continued to keep hassling me so we're aiming for a show in May. It's a national qualifier but has novice classes as well. It's fun to do it that way because you still see some pretty crazy showings in the open too. I was actually going to do physique because I have no interest in getting stomped in open BB, but this class was a welcome surprise. I'm a hair under 5' 11" so 200lb cap for me. Doable for sure.

Except ****tier...I have no idea why half the mandatories are missing and how they will objectively judge the "favorite classic pose".

Going by those weights, they still want "enhanced" athletes, but to a lesser degree. At my height someone would have to weigh 225 at stage ready condition. That is MASSIVE.

This will be the division with the most inspirational physiques for sure though. Going back to small waists...I LOVE how that is the main criteria in judging. Will be fun to see the athletes who decide to compete in these shows.

Nothing about the IFBB judging is objective anyway

[Juggertha]

a max weight for me is 207lbs.... sounds great. Now to find a show for next year.

Apparently neither Sadik nor Buendia are interested in competing in CP next year.

Nothing against the individual guys who compete in MP. Sadik and Buendia have unreal physiques. They actually embody the ideals of bodybuilding. They have legs, great lines and symmetry and really, they have size to boot.

That said, I think MP is a freaking joke. No real objective criteria. The board shorts and posing routines make it look like a glorified male modeling contest. They may as well call it men's figure.

The top guys look great. But I have a hard time respecting the division itself. This is of course just my opinion.

give it time. They haven't even had the inaugural contest yet. I guarantee you if they start dropping in placings or never win, see the prize money to be won in classic, and feel like they can beat the 1st or 2nd place guys, they will jump in

I needed this division thirteen years ago. That said, its just classic bodybuilding more or less, just with different wording, classic physique.
