Seems to be able to bridge the divide between looking like a normal human being and winning a world class bodybuilding title

They look awesome in first pic.

Was he off gear in the second pic or is it an illusion? He looks fucking awesome in the first

Yes, great physiques! More esthetic than the Oly contenders.
But, BETHERE, For some unknown reason I seldom hear anything about the NABBA nor any of it's prime contenders .... and I'm the type of individual who thinks he knows everything about anything ..... but on rare occasions I discover otherwise.
Is the NABBA big outside of the USA? And why is it relatively unknown within theUSA?
Who is in charge, who are the winners, do the NABBA fans complain about the outcome of each and every contest, and any other info you provide for USA GetBiggers would be appreciated.
In the meantime I'll do my best to educate myself with a Google search.

Do the schmoes prefer the puffy nipples or are they just too broke to handle both the gear and the gyno?

Look great.
Shootfighter competes in this?

USA took a team this time, lots of guys cut their teeth in NABBA before the IFBB

They all look stellar.

Holy crap three distinct physiques! :o And they look good! :o what am I in a parallel universe?

I was there & know 2 of those competitors -- Not to put them down
as they were reasonable physiques -- They would not of placed in the top 3/4
of the ukbff british finals a few wks ago.
out of the 4 height classes there were no more than 15 national level physiques
Very poor quality level of physiques for a once great title.
Still those that competed & did well- And took the chance to stand on stage
and deserve their places.

I cant stand the ukbff (hierarchy - to many run ins with them)
But there level of quality & depth in the classes at the finals is
so much better.
Did you go to both shows.?
saying that the PCA is gaining ground & are tying up with Nabba
using there judges & rules -- Hope fully it will result in good things
for the competitors.
I know Dean Lesiak 4x 90k winner 2x nd place ect is going over to
PCA as UKBFF wont give him his Pro card.!!
He trains in the wrong gym & associates with some one they dont like.. ::)

I dont go to bodybuilding shows, I only enter.
I always go straight home after , I find them mind numbingly boring.
Dean is one who always turns up in top shape, I have seen his pics in the past.

I went to the NABBA NW a few years ago to watch a friend, I fell asleep and missed his class, I woke up and didnt know where the fuck I was, was asleep for about an hour, looked like a fucking hobo....

The three contenders in the top photo are damn impressive and would most likely do damn well in today's NPC/IFBB Classic Physique events.
Back in the day what is known as a classic physique today was often referred to as' functional muscle' - which a lot of military members who were interested in physical fitness and aesthetic muscle growth attempted to achieve but seldom maintained due to the routine military style of living and obligations.
These NABBA contenders appear to be what the future of Classic Physique may turn out to be.
Thanks, Bethere

Much better quality of competitors than the NPC.

Over 50s class

The ukfbb make my blood boil, fucking cliquey bastards.... My 1st Brit final,i remember being dragged over the stage and dressed down by that cun.t head judge the year they banned dream tan, got told id blown it and they placed me 6th
Later in the the day Paul George won his class and was almost green he had so much on...
If I ever dusted my thong off id go with nabba and try other feds, fuck the ukfbb, they spend 4 or 5 hrs judging men and womens bikini and rush the bodybuilders on and off without them even doing individual posing routines

always been the same mate
Two people who used to run shows bailed this year because of the politics
Its certainly a closed shop...

BeThere/Local and a handful of others ..... There seems to be an awful lot of complaints from contenders and fans regarding various decisions made by most of the bodybuilding federations.
That decision regarding the Dream Tan incident sounds somewhat absurd and I wonder what the rational behind that decision was.
Did the promoter or the federation have their own tanning agents or was it simply that Dream Tan proved to be unhealthy for human application?
Years ago when I was a decision maker and if anyone complained about the judging process, I'd invite them in to sit in at the official table and become what we called a "TEST JUDGE" and then sit-in and observe when and how the score sheets were tabulated.
It worked well because those 'test judges' never complained again (at least not to me anyway).
If I had the opportunity I'd recommend that each bodybuilding federation choose one official of that federation to respond to any and all complaints made by anyone involved .... and that includes the fans and each GetBigger via the internet or otherwise
In many instances there are good reasons why an unpopular decision is made and once the 'WHY' is disclosed.... most of those who complain depart with a happy smile on their face.
But then we got GetBiggers who most likely never smile at all.
But they sure as hell can LAUGH a lot on this here GetBig Board!
So I guess everyone is eventually happy no matter how they see it or what the outcome is.

There is a gym in London run by 2 of the judges.Whoever trains or is a PT in their gym always wins or places very high at UKBFF shows. They also run paid posing practice classes in that gym and is a well known fact that if you wanna place well in UKBFF it's highly advisable to attend some of that classes.
Also some UKBFF judges prepare competitors and are allowed to judge their classes at shows afterwards.
-

Agree. The top 3 in the tall class at NABBA were actually in better condition than the top 3 in the UKBFF superheavy class this year

Correct & it happens at a few other gyms linked to ukbff judges.
It's a Big £ making machine now - Bodybuilders are almost redundant to them.

I couldn't believe the last ukfbb show I attended, may as well drop bodybuilding all together and just go with men's and women's bikini....
They should put all the fairy's on last, instead of fucking all the bodybuilders off .... No one is getting judged properly after the judges have sat through hrs of men's and women's bikini, who no one even knows how to judge anyway

Yes- well summed up. It's outrageous how they treat the bodybuilders now.
The problem with the judging is the undisclosed marking for which gym they come
From & how connected to the judges / hierarchy - this can elevate an also ran in to
The top 3+ .
I judged a few EFBB shows as a newbie - judging certainly has changed -
tho the above has always Existed to some extent at some shows -
I have made them aware if I new or had helped a competitor
- I was still asked to judge - I found it easy to judge by sticking to the rule book
Criteria - But Hard to keep the rose tinted glasses from affecting my decision.

Imagine all the money and effort one spends only to be fucked up by the judges who "judge".
There should be a governing body within the IFBB that controls such affairs in the national affiliates.

Because they have so many classes now they also rush the judging of each class so they can finish the show on time which gives them like 10-15 min. to judge a class of 20+ competitors. So instead of doing a lot of comparisons and judge the physiques properly they just look for familiar faces from the gyms they run to put them in the top places.

Same thing happened this year at the Arnold Amateur Europe in the classic over 180 cm. class. The guy who won(a spanish competitor,and the show was in Spain) was presented the trophy by one of the judges-his brother.

thats why people who enter bodybuilding shows should never be that bothered about winning, lots of winners are winners because they got put there.
Only once have I seen a guy get awarded first place and pass his trophy to the runner up.
Peter Wall won the Britain in 89 and Terry Fisher was the clear winner, when they got onstage for the photos Peter swapped the trophies around.
It didnt overturn the result but it was a nice gesture.

BETHERE, Great story on the 'trophy trade'! I've never seen nor heard of that being done before.
If I had witnessed that I would have purchased an additional trophy and awarded it to him a week or so later for ... Sportsmenship ... even if I did not agree with him.
Thanks for passing that story on.
