Good input here from GH, One Time Hard, BOMZ, and Supernatural!
Always great to read intelligent input even if it's beyond my mental capacity of understanding.
But I gotta thank ya anyway
Supe, I've been involved in all aspects of the BB world almost forever .... but I am not familiar with "Classic Bodybuilding" competitions in the least and that type of contest just might be what I suggested be initiated in an earlier post.
I'd appreciate it if you can send me any Classic Bodybullding info that you may have and in the meantime I'll start researching it on the net.
I assume that "Classic" does not necessarily mean 'natural'!!?
Thanks, Supe!
Hey Stunt
Here are the basic rules and report for the World Champs in Estonia this year:

http://www.ifbb.com/page_report.php?id=80Competitors are limited in the amount of muscle they can carry for their height.
The weight / height limits for Classic
Bodybuilding are as follows:
Height Bodyweight limit
Up to 168 cm Height – 100
Up to 171 cm (Height – 100) + 2
Up to 175 cm (Height – 100) + 4
Up to 180 cm (Height – 100) + 6
Up to 190 cm (Height – 100) + 8
Up to 198 cm (Height – 100) + 9
Over 198 cm (Height – 100) + 10
It’s supposedly a drug tested show but the guys are FAR from drug free. The Russians cleaned up in 2010 but I think later everyone of them where busted for drug violations.
In fact more competitors where disqualified at the 2010 IFBB Classic Worlds than at the 2010 IFBB Amateur Men’s World Champs!
