The only classes that matter are 212 class and the real Mr Olympia class. Those are the hot freaky mass monsters. These physique classes are for punks.

You lost the real men (myself included) here at "Those are the hot..." :-X

There should be mens bodybuilding and womens bikini. Everything else is stupid and ghey.
-
I agree. And throw in bikini, too, for good measure. Have MPD and bikini back to what they were originally - as part of a Beach Body competition for regular folks.
Classic physique is redundant since they should have been scoring the more aesthetic guys higher, anyway.
-
Classic physique is good imo..not everyone wants to take what is needed to look like big ramy..also i was 6ft going up against guys that were 5ft 6 and weighed the same that were built like fire hydrants.

Some people have the oddest notions.

JOE, You've been around long enough and damn well know enough to realize that the NPC/IFBB is a business ... And a damn profitable business now-a-days!
And it's good business for any successful business to retain and maintain those successful parts or endeavors of any business to maintain or increase the 'bottom line'!
The newest addition to his very successful organizaton is this so called "AMATEUR OLYMPIA" ... a two day event which drew hundreds of amateur contenders, their coaches, their family, and their fans from 'around' all parts of this flat planet that we reside upon filling up those $56 - $112 seats in the Orleans Theater two days running even before any of the Olympia Pro events or the Expo got underway.
What events within today's NPC/IFBB organization would you delete if you were to step into Jim Manion's moccasins? They all appear to be very profitable.
You appear to be a good businessman and my best bet is that you might even consider resurrecting the COUPLES COMPETITION .... ala the days of Jeff and Cory!
Whatz your "thinks" on this?

Totally agree there .
At first I thought it was a bright idea to bring the Classic physique contest on stage ..... but
One thing is to consider Mike Christian, Bob Paris, Haney, Labrada DeMEy, etc the ideal or the CLASSIC Olympian physique ...
But a bunch of Narcissistics youtubers ? a complete joke that I thought it was reserved only for beauty pageants girls
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

What's needed and wanted is mass. Enormous, unbridled, throbbing, mass.

I totally agree with you that it is a business and those new/shit divisions are only there because they bring in more competitors and dollars. So from a business standpoint, it makes more sense to keep adding categories until there's a show every day of the year and every 'Joe and Jane' are up there showing off their wares.
But from a 'fan' and even journalist's standpoint, these divisions have watered down the industry so much that it has become unwatchable and that even has effected the 'real' divisions because some people have tapped out (folks who are only going to watch and have no vested interest such as a friend or family member competing.)
I despise the Amateur Olympia, Arnold Amateur, etc. and feel that those shows should carry their own title/weight regardless of where and when they are held.
I was unaware that Manion wore moccasins - LOL - but I would still keep the 'regular' people in their places with the beach body contests but have them pay to enter with incentives of a photo shoot for NPC News Online.
And perhaps I am in the minority, but I loved the couples' competitions. I would bring that back in a heartbeat, as well as a legit Masters Olympia where people can only enter if they have been inactive for at least 18 months. What they did in 2012 was stupid - you had Dexter and X-Man up against guys who hadn't taken the stage in a decade-plus.

just like track and field there are more than just 100m, there is 200m 400m 800m 1500m etc

IRON, I honestly had no idea that there was an Amateur Olympia until ths year when I was looking for an NPC contest that would be open to NN US CITIZENS and I was surprised that there was one.
Ar hee any other NPC events open to foreigners that you may be aware of?
In the past you had to be a US Citizen to enter an NPC amateur event and a US Pro to enter an IFBB contest held in the US.
This could have been one of the many problems that caused the IFBB split.

Midget Olympia (aka: 212). And there's more "Olympias" too. They've diluted the importance of the title by overselling it.

Semantics. It's part of the Mr. Olympia show, which comprises multiple divisions, as Scott said. Stop being stupid.

Look for 212 trophy ;D

They don't give a trophy for 212, it's a medal. Neither did the Masters Olympia, as far I know. But both are part of the Mr. Olympia show (until they cancelled Masters about ten years ago).
