It almost seems as thoughlast place is a tad bit better.
There is no much difference.
never forget it is also part popularity contest.
all those stupid genetics, diet, training, gear ratio threads.... gotta be popular and or pretty/marketable. :o
also, judges dont want to rock the boat, they know who is "expected" to do well and vote to fit the narrative, they dont want chuicking off the panel and lose all the expenses paid trips.
never forget it is also part popularity contest.^^^
Seriously. The last place guy looks better.Agree, last place guy has better development and condition.

This means the everyone in Classic Physique Olympia dieted hard and came in at, or near their best (unlike the Open Olympia)
Or it could mean that if you have a hard limit on how big competitors can get, then everyone is basically playing the conditioning game and under those circumstances, there's only so much similar body types will look different.
these guys are taking just as much as the open guys, its just genetics that keeps them looking this way
I didn't say anything about how much they are taking. I was responding to the poster that said that the first and last place looking so similar proves that all of the contestants came in near their best. If you take any two guys with similar body types and give them a similar weight limit, their bodies will end up looking a lot alike. It might be a better argument for how haphazard and situational judging is.
Most of these guys could, of course, add size. Some classic competitors dropped size to make that division.
Seriously. The last place guy looks better.
it is totally the deal.
A. I have noticed it on several different levels (Jay Cutler, Arnold 1980s, Chris Bum, countless other examples)
B. I causally dated a top rated IFBB figure chic and she gave me in the inside scoop too
again - they want a marketable champion/winners. they need to sell the dream. the Wieders were smart business savvy owners
There is no much difference.

Modern fake tans, even with their best applications, look uneven, forced, and awkward. They may even dull natural skin highlights to some degree under lights. Safe technology will come sooner than later to darken( or lighten) skin but this looks silly and is unnecessary.
Schwarzenegger never had an extreme Bumstead-level fake tan but had one of the best skin tones ever.
It’s like why even bother, the last place guy is on par with the winner, that’s what happens in a subjective “sport” ::)
the last place guy looks better... his legs are more defined and just has solid stage presence...
comp spray tans are what they are - super dark. and the days of pro tan with a sponge is long gone..... they are fine..
arnold had the best skin even. i think I have ever seen Arnold with a zit, ingrown hair or body hair ever when he was at his peak. he had 10/10 skin genetics
There is no much difference.

How Kirill (same guy, left) places last compared to George (right) in CLASSIC physique is beyond me. Criminal!

So glad Arnold trolled George asking him to pull a vacuum after his win the other year. Don't get me wrong, he is a great bodybuilder - exactly that. Should be voted out and into the 212. ::)
You mean they don’t do this anymore?
