i think its great. mens physique is more about 'body building' than competitve bodybuilding. this niche is needed. a healthy look with respectable size.

you're comparing one of the top pros of the 1970s to an amateur.  If I must be more specific, today's amateur physique is nothing more than late 70s amateur bodybuilding.

Why don't the 70s dude roll their trunks into the crack of their ass? And what's with all the conservative colors?

LOL not one amateur or physique fag could stand beside Robby or Mentzer 70's and not get laughed off stage.

I showed a pic of Jalali from the NPC Europa.  Clearly an amateur contest.  In previous discussions I showed the winners of the NPC USA, again amateur.

Dickerson was pro by 1973, Robinson by 1976, Columbu by 1972, Mentzer 1979 (however the pic is probably from later)

amateurs were not allowed to stand on stage with pros without the risk of loosing their amateur status.  that is why there would be an intermission between an amateur contest and a pro contest.  (true well into the 70s)

Retarded and makes it look silly.

I'd bet money all of these guys train legs and have decent quads anyway. Why not just a more conservative posing trunk, like a short compression short type deal.

I think the original goal of Men's Physique was to reward more achievable beach physiques that chicks will dig. Year by year the physique judges seem to be rewarding bigger and bigger guys. Dudes like this will be taking over the class unless the judges back up and re-evaluate what the class is all about. I respect his bouncing back from major surgery, but this guy is just a PED pincushion who lowered the dose to win an easier show than the bodybuilding class he couldn't place in.

As said in another thread. The board shorts are likely an over reaction to the fact that bejeweled thongs don't poll very well.

Like boxer briefs, or European swim trunks? You're right, that's better than these baggy board shorts. They're on their way out anyway.

I think the mistake the judges are making is going back to selecting conditioning over symmetry and proportionality.  Grainy skin should be a deduction, not rewarded

Actually WBFF competitors use these. Also in WBFF there is 2 different categories, Muscle Model Competition and Fitness Model Competition.

The IFBB doesn't give a shit about all these new divisions they only mean more money through entrance/federation fees and ticket sales to family and friends.

I was actually thinking the same thing as this thread title after being at the Dexter Classic a few weeks ago.  The physique dudes were some big fellas, make no mistake. The division has put on a LOT of size since it was first introduced. Naturals no longer have a chance in it. That and I saw ab implants in person for the first time. That was weird seeing a guys abs stick out further than his chest while standing. Things were HUGE. Saw the cat stretch out and you could see his actual abs underneath the implants. Was weird as hell.

agreed. it should be about the look as a whole symmetry proportion and healthy looking- nice deep cuts but a healthy appearance that doesnt scream tren and diuretics.
