The best place for a mens physique contest would be a gay club.

Why would they have 'Nationals' after all Ifbb World's championship ended ???

The IFBB World Championships is for IFBB Amateurs around the world. The NPC Nationals are just for US citizens.
-
NPC Nationals should be held 1 month before the IFBB Mens World like 1980s.
And no more "Team Universe" contest.

G. Zimmerman might not be entering the heavyweight class after all.

In no contest ever should the top "two" be awarded pro cards.
It should be the WINNER. And in my opinion the not the class winner but the overall winner.
Getting a pro card is still special but it's not as "elite" of an honor as it once was.

I agree some what but keep in mind it is relative to the numbers, back then one pro card maybe 50 male bodybuilders and now 200 + and the qualifications are derived frokm way more shows and the numbers at they shows are enormous in comparison to the past.

As they say, only in America, the last Ifbb World (Classic bb) for 2013 was 2 days ago :D
-
The American bodybuilders consider themselves better than the worlds standard thats why. Also top 2 per class eligible for pro card, yous are spoilt. I would have to compete against Europes best and win an overall if I want that.

Mens physique is an excuse for not being able to afford peptides
Gay shit

I live 20 minutes west of Of Ft. Laud. Used always go to the Nationals anytime it was in S. FL. Can't go! The only reason I would have interest in going is to meet and talk to Ron! This year looks like a very weak Nationals!

ya but the nationals yields nearly 1000 qualified competitors, thats why 2 pro cards.

Mens physique would be a great category if they took away those stupid shorts. The quads should be judged, as well as the hammies. I'm not saying they need a thong like bodybuilding but they need something shorter. They are missing out on a significant part of the physique.
Every other category judges the whole physique.
Whoever decided on board shorts for that category is an idiot.

True, aren't legs part of the physique?

Ron, new Iranian overall Ifbb World Classic champion 2013 looks so good.
Looks like Persians & Russians collected all Ifbb gold medals.
Again not a single NPC's in the top 6.

that is because non of the top NPC guys ever go there, no one cares about that show, down here, they all want a pro card, nothing more.
Sammi won that that show and he is not even top dog in the 212

-Sami Al Haddad was 3X World BB champion , not World Classic winner.
-World title is much bigger piece of cake than the US title.
-Can you name just 3 Americans with Ifbb Worlds titles in the last 10 years
-Real fact is, shortage of $$$$ for traveling
-Future of sport is in Amateurs BB ranks
-Ifbb just announced that Classic BB will be Olympic BB ( I hope so)

I agree with what you are saying here but all my point was, is you can not gauge the level bodybuilders from the US are at in this competition because the top guys to not go there. Mind you I like the European bodybuilding look better then the NPC look but realistically the US still produce the top guys.

- Not in amateur BB
- Remember if not Ifbb affiliated American boys would travel to Nabba,Wabba even French FICIAPS (something like that)
but now ??? almost no independent US bodybuilders.
