Forum: Men's Physique

I am looking to compete in physique for the first time in my life but need some questions answered first. What's the approximate weight I should be competing in for a standard 5% bf at 6'4? How can I find out of comps in my area? What should I work on? (Mirin PJ's?) I heard smiling is a...

John Kmetz recently competed at an Ohio show where he looked very impressive. MPD should be about muscle, good abs, and good posing. Being that it's a subjective sport, we each have our own opinion of what the winning physique should, but I think John has what it takes to go Pro - and very...

Hello everyone. I am new to the site. My wife's college roommate is a spokeswoman for BodyBuilding.com, and she inspired me to to join the site. I am 39 years old. A former All-American Guard. I've always had tremendous strength, but I've also carried around a lot of extra fat. Those glory...

Hi guys, I'm sure you're sick of these posts but I'm hoping someone could chime in. I'll try and keep it short; used to be fat - lost a lot of weight and then skinnyfat. Began training around strength, lots of 5x5's. Got much stronger but not much to look at still. Decided I want to train...

For those who don't know Athletic Fitness is an division present in Sweden and a few other countries where you have a physique and an athletic round. The athletic portion typically consists of max chin and dips, a 90 second max row, and an obstacle course. Interesting concept and has several...

I don't really have muscle tissue, I know... But is this gyno, or simply fat that can be sculpted into muscle and look flat and normal? Pics -> imgur.com/a/tH2xt and imgur.com/a/Gc1tl

Hi. I'm fairly new to this so bare with me. I'm training to put on size currently 80kg bf 11% averaging 5 days per week. I push hard every session to almost exhaustion on every exercise. My diet is good with cereal, chicken and brocoli, chicken and rice, protein shakes and fruit thrown in aswel....

Hey guys, I'm not sure which section to post this in, But i have a reoccurring problem with exercise , and getting in shape. So awhile back when I was getting back into working out I would take these Multivitamin packs that had a energy booster, or fat burner in it, and it would just be too...

For serious bodybuilders... Let's say for example your chest/tris workout day. Will you switch up the exercises or the order you do them in every couple weeks/months to trick out your muscles for more growth? Or is that just a bunch of nonsense?

Does anyone know if there's going to be improvements to the judging criteria of this division? Currently it's pretty much got nothing to give the competitors anything to achieve in order to know they stand a shot of winning - It's pretty much a big guess as to who wins?! Even the current MP...

I'm looking for feedback on my workout routine. I'm just starting to workout again and this is the first workout I've made myself so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing so any feedback helps. I'm looking to primarily burn fat but obviously also build muscle at the same time. M- Legs (Press,...

Whats more important? Keeping track of the numbers and the weight lifted or just focusing and doing whatever needs to be done to make sure you are feeling your target muscle group for the day get annihilated? It's hard for me to tell because i don't get sore anymore. With my diet/training/recovery...

But my physique still looks terrible... My bf is 19%... That does need some work but my body just looks sloppy still......

Im new to this and dont know the poses....could anyone help me with this? So I can use this info to become a natural poser and NOT feel awkward and to also check my progress, I appreciate any help! KrippledMark

John Kmetz has the look of the future, dense muscle but with the classic MPD look. He's a solid poser and just competed at the Natural Northern USA. He could have placed better, but it's only a question of time IMO. KZR8Xu2ZsbQ Comments? Feedback is welcome. I think he's a shoe-in for...
