Title: Classic bodybuilding
Post by: powerpack on December 02, 2007, 04:44:55 AM

I see more and more the IFBB is hosting Classic bodybuilding as an extra event.
It has a maximum weight per height and of course will keep all the big drug users out.
It has had a lot of mixed reviews with some guys saying it looks like a glorified swimmers physique and others saying it is good way to go.
As I am 40 and don't want to go the hormonal route ( but I am not a life time natural) I was wondering about this and might give it a bash next year.
What are your views and has any one competed in this event??

yeah, you cannot give much thought into beating anyone else, just attaining your own personal best.  you see so many guys put thousands of dollars and their health at risk, and get 5th at a local show.  Just not worth it for that purpose.

Classic bodybuilding would be cool, not really natural, but classic, natural organizations have some problems, like you can't compete is you are on high blood pressure meds (some) and if you have naturally low test and just get it up to normal.....

So I would like to see classic non-tested bb shows....
