There are several MPD physiques with small waists, great abs and impressive V tapers. I don't understand why they are willing to compete wearing those goofy long shorts , only get to stand and never pose.
In my opinion, many MPD guys would do well in lighter wt classes in state /regional NPC shows. Obviously, I respect their physiques, BUT the MPD competition format is a joke.
Why don't they just compete as bodybuilders in their wt class ?
-
A lot look very good, but good enough to pull off front double bicep shot? This is where the flaws come out and most would probably look bad in that shot.
Still, the shorts gotta be shortened and tighter. Either way, I'd sure as shit never pay to see it and never watch the vids posted.
-
I agree that many of those guys are in great shape and should at least show their legs. I just can't get past the totally bizarre runway posing they do.
In some shows there are so many guys it's hard to tell them apart and it just looks like an ab contest.
-
I would rather look like Jaco de Bruyn a million times over than any pro bodybuilder.
Full fucking homo.
-
Yeh I think the same as rich, front double bi sorts the men out from the boys, many a mans dreams have been crushed by this pose, standing semi relaxed with a slight twist hides alot of flaws
-
From a financial position, wouldn't it be better to stay as a sponsored men's physique rather than lightweight bb? Seems like there is more money in MP

plenty of good looking mens physique/fitness model guys have 10x more followers than the top IFBB elite

these guys are good examples of how I'd like to see it go. The shorts look much better like that. In time...

Yep, some of those guys have near perfect physiques in my eyes.

Because their guts don't protrude... ;)
And I agree about the board shorts. Who came up with that bullshit? Thighs don't count? They might as well compete in wheelchairs...
-
Sickeninng forearms on Sadik :o
-
There should be mandatories for MPD. We could make some up that would do these guys some justice.
-
You pussies and your love of a physique with human dignity disgust me.

Jesus Christ would you rather look like this...

That's actually "too big" for physique competitions as far as I'm told. They don't like you being too ripped or too big, it's a balance. Pretty soon it'll be nothing more than men's bbing only "smaller" in that division
-
What's the difference in drugs between MPD and IFBB pros. What is a Physique cycle of and off season .
-

Smaller dosages. Maybe not insulin but def GH
Still do a lot more than the average gym rat

All he needs to do is up the dosage, train for more size, and keep GH and insulin out of the picture. He'd be another Bob Paris or Charles Clairmonte. Then bodybuilding would be back to what it should be.

Just like the women's "fitness" catagory.

I actually spoke with 2 national judges I've known for many years when MPD was first proposed in the NPC.
Here is what they told me .
'By 2008 , bikini had quickly grown into the biggest division in the NPC .
The NPC figured most of the bikini babes had bf's or husbands , that worked out with them, BUT weren't hardcore bodybuilders.
They felt these men might enter a contest with their woman, IF it was a less intense, more beach body division ( for men).'
The sole goal of the NPC was to get more members and paid entrants in contests.
This is why bikini and MPD will remain a sexy beach body format.
I think the MPD physiques are great, but I cringe when I see how they "compete" on stage.
I'm amazed that men would pay $$ to compete in that kind of format. ???

I agree with u on this. The posing is soooo gay

I agree with u on this. The posing is soooo gay
I don't care if looks gay LOL.
I do care that it's NOT bodybuilding.
Bikini for woman and MPD for guys attract the most entrants because it's easier to do.
You workout to look sexy on the beach or by the pool, etc.
You don't have to do any mandatory poses or go to extreme with drugs.
The bikini babes want a firm butt, flat tummy and toned legs. No real upper body muscle is needed.
The MPD dudes want 6 pack abs, muscular arms , pecs and delts.
They don't need to work legs and their quads or hams don't even show wearing board shorts .
The bikini and MPD ideals are great for PERSONAL, physique and fitness goals.
BUT, it's not much of a real, genuine competition.
Sure, the MPD guys and bikini babes have fans of their sexy bodies, especially the babes.
BUT, very few "fans" know or care how they do in the actual contests.
I've never seen a heated debate about who was better in the Olympia bikini or MPD pose down !
I have seen and heard endless debates about who was better between BODYBUILDERS.
Fans still debate with passion, the dual between Arnold and Sergio in the 1972 Olympia.
What bodybuilding fan will ever forget Ronnie winning his 8th Olympia at a mind blowing 286 ripped lbs.
To me, MPD and bikini vs pro bodybuilding is like comparing flag football rec leagues to the NFL.

Point of order...ALL posing is fucking gay. ALL OF IT.

No man should be hitting "board walk" poses and standing like a complete fruitcake

What kind of magic does the sparkling thong have that can ungay BB posing....

Sadik is really not "too big". This is recent and he will be competing at the Arnold.
Normal lighting.

26" waist. Unnatural. I wanna see a real BB waistline: 48"

Hey Sadek looks great. BUT , how many would complain if a guy his size won the Olympia?
-
Too small of a waist on bbers look very awkward
-
Plus, I'm still waiting to see a bikini girl fart when they turn around and stick our their ass.
Ok that made me lol Howard. The first time I saw that I thought I was watching a stripper competition.
They should just do it on the beach and skip the clen.
Yeshaira is hot.
-
Good pick :-*
I stopped going to the NPC nationals to watch, 6 years ago.
By then there was 500 bikini and figure girls with 140-150 bodybuilders.
Plus, the bikini babes all wore these mini kimono robes and pulled little suitcases around when they weren't competing.
I thought I was at some massage parlor /stripper convention instead of a bodybuilding contest.
I have no desire to go to one because they are sooo boring when streamed and there are so many classes. I think it would be fun, however, to walk around an expo.

The expos are still pretty cool . BUT, the Arnold expo is a bit too crowded at key times in recent years.
-
I'd be real pumped if Jason Genova decided to don the colorful surf pants in an NPC/ MPD contest.
And cover up those world class wheels? :o
-
Mens Physique is just a fitness model contest on a stage basically. .is it bodybuilding. .I dont really know..but I will say it's a lot easier to look muscular while flexing (bodybuilding)..then to look muscular while relaxed (mpd).
-

Based on the videos it looks packed. I can't believe how long people wait to meet some of the pros (or freaks).

Id rather watch a Bull Stanton movie then watch MPD

Sadik chest injection gone bad?

Graston treatment he was having looked like it would leave bruises. Not smart having that so close to a contest.

He reminds me of an old bodybuilder named John Terrelli.

Who the fuck really pins pecs? Besides ESFitness and Bostin?

Kind of like a small Terilli with better abs.

The MPD guys essentially want a trophy for a physique that can be obtained with a two years of training. These dudes would look like swimmers in a strong open class bodybuilding show. The marketing scheme is brilliant though because now a whole lot of guys with shit structure and tooth pick legs can train for a year enter an NPC show and possibly get a trophy. This is purely a money making scheme for the NPC. Oh and that Sadik guy is a full blown idiot. A friend of mine shared a recent Instagram post he made and let's just say that someone needs to slap the stupid out of him.
-
Come On Howie just ignore the non bodybuilding divisions and Stay HARDCORE!
-

Raises hand.
Very easy place to pin as you can see what the hell you're doing! 25g, 1inch, very easy to do. Do it before you chest training and tell me how you like it.

If I recall he was austrailian. Yes?

Whoa.
Curious, how big are you, like height weight and BF%?

You don't have to be huge to do chest, if that is what you are implying. I used to do them when I would use more short esters (basically tren ace as the more I put in one spot the more I possibly would cough, etc.) so needed pinning spots for the amount I was taking at the time and I am far from a mass monster. Always felt a bit weird to me even though they were pretty easy.
