A big challenge comes up when judging Men's Physique. Pro Bodybuilding is easy, the biggest, leanest, and best proportioned oiled dude in a thong generally wins. The judging criteria for MP is a lot more fluid and can change from contest to contest. When does a guy get too big or too lean to place well in MP?

Pro BB is like Olympic High Jump. The guy who jumps the highest wins. MP is like judging which guy jumps 6.5' better than everyone else.

1more rep, don't U remember "trainer of champs since 1936"  was father of modern bodybuilding
& he "invented" everything in this sport 

[Teutonic Knight]

We can joke about physique class, but just imagine if AMI stops Mr.Olympia contest   it would be massive knockout .
They could not have title "Joe Weiders Mr.Olympia" anymore, dead mans name on very much live BB would sounds so stupid.
Oh, fuck regarding to Ifbbpro website , dead mans name is still on

It's hard to imagine something gayer than bodybuilding, then I scrolled to see the physique dude. Aaaand I have now seen it.

PIP pro bbing.

Pro bodybuilding is set to undertake major changes.  Print "hardcore" magazines will be insolvent by sometime in 2015 (my estimation), and on the competitive front, the shift to MP is definitely in play.

But, no matter what happens, just remember one thing.  The NPC/IFBB judges will fuck up MP by rewarding more and more drugged up physiques.  Just like they do with everything else really...

look at middle east bodybuilders

if you have instagram check out kuwaitbodybuilding
 or look here
http://instagram.com/kuwaitbodybuilding

the middle east has a SHITTON of guys with great lines, symmetry and no bloated midsection

most of them have golden era-ish proportions. still theyre huge and much much bigger than mens physique guys (i still like the look of both though).

bodybuilders are actually accredited and appreciated there and not regarded as big dumb retards, ive been told.

the bloated horrible behemoth creatures competing in the mister olympia all seem to come from the US or are mostly located there...
