Thread subject is not exclamation point worthy.

Please adjust.

6'2 and 242lbs. So they're looking for Arnold. I guess they've been reading Flex and know what sells.

I went to nationals and competed at a tiny 172 being my lightest ever. I'm 5'10" and could of been up to 192. Now I can be 202... if I can get there.

You are named after an old toyota diesel engine. Wiggs is an original Hebrew. Know your place.

I can rest easy knowing the IFBB has put this in place.   It's like a weight has been lifted off me (bb related).

Yep! I do agree with WIGGS. Good luck to you!

Interesting to note that a friend weighed in  for a Classic contest here in LV  this past Friday but failed to meet the ht/wt requirements under the old "formula' but would have been eligible under  the new 'formula'.

Many fans in attendance felt that he would have won the overall if he had weighed in  on November 7.

13B-T  ..;. It would be great if you as a competitor could submit some posts regarding CLASSIC competition  under the  Classic Physique - A New World for Bodybuilders topic.

Your input would be appreciated and hopefully discused intelligently by the GetBig intelligensia who sometimes fail to see the the potential growth and popularity of this new competition.

Maybe it would be better if they introduced waist size limits with height. Actual measurements though, not like Cutler's "36 inch" (give or take 10) waist.

Is this only for the pros? Or does this include the amateurs as well? From what I understand there's a difference in height-to-weight ratios between pros and amateurs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Numbers seem odd. By that logic Mike Mentzer at 225lbs at 5'8" would be grossly over the weight limit. Was he not a classic physique?

I think the changes are positive, I hope this division eventually takes over the sport, would reduce the all drugs attitude and make people have to work a lot smarted rather than just upping the dose.

I agree 100%.

But does it just mean that the shitty judges reward as much mass as possible shoved onto the lightest bones possible? Which in a way is Phil Heath all over again.

What's the point of "Classic" physique when the physique will be as big as Arnold was?
Title: Re: IFBB announces new weight limits for classic physique!
Post by: stuntmovie on November 08, 2016, 08:36:47 PM
WANNABE, GOOD observation. It does appear that the notice of the Classic wt/ht  changes was addressed to the "IFBB PRO athletes, judge's, and officials" with no mention regarding any classic amateur changes , so you may be correct .... or else it was an oversight which may be clarified shortly.

MINUS his certain impressive body part dimensions..Arnold had slender legs if he had huge legs then he would have had heavier bw..

Good Physique. Have you filled out an application to be Jay Cutler's new pool boy yet? The position opens up every year...

Not quite yet.

Once they add : "chest must be within 1-2" of the waist" , I'll be the gold standard

Have yet to see any official word on this NEW Classic Physique wt/ht change but have been told by a Classic competitor that it only applies  to the IFBB Classic Physic Pros and not to the amateurs.
