Title: All I'm reading is Bumstead, not Choopan - Sign of where the industry is going?
Post by: OneMoreRep on December 21, 2022, 02:31:25 PM: Everyone is either complaining about or supporting Bumstead's win, yet I am barely reading or hearing anything about Choopan. As an industry, are the tastes of fans changing?

The complaints are that either the judges are changing the rules to benefit Bumstead; or Bumstead is torture-racking himself to make himself taller, allowing him to compete at a heavier bodyweight.

But, is racking themselves safer than guys starving themselves to make weight (i.e. 212) and trying to fill back up later?

Plus, no one seems to have an issue with Choopan's victory. I would have gone with Curry or Lunsford (better shape). But, I can live with Choopan.

Post by: a_pupil on December 21, 2022, 03:13:24 PM: There's been a surprising lack of pics here of the show. I don't think I've even seen a pic of the mens open line up and I can't be bothered searching it up, let alone this bumstead guys line up.

I haven't noticed a single pic of the show come up in my instagram feed as well.

Is our sport dead :-\

What does safety have to do with professional bodybuilding?

I don't know if Bumstead is. People think either Bumstead is cheating (competing at a much higher weight than the max for his height) or the rules are being altered on the fly to help him.

But, according to Logan Franklin (a Classic Physique competitor, sponsored by MD), a number of them are using inversion tables.

Franklin himself complained about how the IFBB keeps measuring him at 5'11^1/2", meaning he has to compete at 222.

But, he his medical records and driver's license has him listed at 6' tall. He wants to compete at a higher bodyweight (230 or so).

I used the term, "safer". Rather than doing all the tricks the 212 guys do to make weight, some of these dudes are racking themselves to be taller (temporarily).

Is that a "safer" practice, in the long run?

Yes. When everyone’s delts starts resembling Ernie Taylor’s triceps, the sport needs to die... or be completely overhauled.

Well, they are incorrectomundo then! ;D People have their ideals and I understand that but objectively or subjectively, Strydom's physique was vastly superior to Bungstead.

If I may be blunt?

CBung is built far better than I but that's is just another truth, albeit one that is much easier for most to accept. ;D

But bhanky is altogether another level. ;)
