Standing by himself a smaller guy always looks great by himself put him next to the larger guys and he disappears

That's great. Still young. Even got the calf genetics. There's just something about builds like this which makes you wonder what could have been if the judges marked down the mass era and went for the balance and flow types. This is the kind of build you dream of. Or at least, I do. Thanks for posting.

I agree 100%. At 5'8 or 5'9  and 220lbs he's the epitome of a late 80s early 90s bodybuilder. Today, if he  was an open guy, they'd say he's too small and needs about 20lbs more of stage muscle. Which is insane and unnecessary.

One million percent, Wiggs. The "sport" would be far more successful and popular today if they went in that direction. The likes of Paris, Francis Benfatto. This guy could easily stand toe to toe with the best of the 80s. Like you said regarding the weight he'd be expected to be at and for what: ruining his flow and symmetry because of that bullshit? Nah.

You Fucking Idiot - You do not have a Classic Physique - you only entered that class because
You believed it to be the easiest & only had 2 others in it.

There isn't a Physique class for a one arm, one pec, no legs, no back, Fat out of condition
Bag of shit like you.

There's zero comparison between his physique & your Train wreck.

He is Mike Mentzer and Robby Robinson size.

If bodybuilding fans supported the classic division more than the open division this would happen.

Ab thigh is Philesque  His lat spread needs improvement

Agreed. Bumstead has nothing to worry about
