Discussion regarding the 202lbs and under class?

[Ursus]

Why is there a 202 class and not a 260lbs+ class?

[kyomu]

202lbs class should be disappeared immediately.

i think its ok, it gives hope to a lot of guys who are too good for NPC, but not good enough for the IFBB.

i see it as a middle ground for the guys that have less than stellar drug dealers.

Ditto!

I think there should be an under 220 pound (100 kilos) and over 220 class, and the winners of each should face off for the overall, like it was in the 1970s.

either that, or we should go to three height classes, under 5'8, under 6', over 6'

or maybe go by BMI


just some thoughts

i agree

midget class

[Stavios]

if it was a short class, guys like Dexter, Rockel, Yamagishi, silvio could compete in it

[kyomu]

midget class

Thats what i thought but its really non-sence.
We have a great midget who took 2nd in the open class.

So it means 202class=inferior to the open class.

What if the 3 best guys are all in taller classes. A show off could be the best vs the 5th best - that would be dumb.

Also why are so many guys dieting down 15-20lbs to compete in it when its viewed by many as shit.

I cant imagine lee priest would have dieted down

LOL. How did we ever get so jaded? Remember when we were wide-eyed kids who believed Frank Zane when he said his bbing success was due to a stringent eating regimen.

No? Me neither.

lee was between 198 and 204 when he won his shows

Some good positive comments here.

I was somewhat surprised by the sparse crowd that gathered to watch the 202's. I expected those seats to be filled to capacity but actually it turned out to be far from packed.

I believe that those guys deserve as much accolades at the other Olympians who draw the fans, but for numerous reasons  - they don't.

Any of you GetBiggers got any positive idea how interest in that 202 competition can be improved?

A running of the bulls event could only help.

Great idea!  You can't choose your height; three height classes would let appropriate heights compete with one another.  I often tease the little guys, but I'd love to see, for example, Paul George, 5’3”, Samir Zebib 5’4”, Neil Gardner 5’2” on the same stage and not pitted against a really tall guy until an overall round.

my point is if ur a midget some are still gd enough to hang with big guys - priest, columbo etc

x2, boring as fuck.

height classes would be better, and then just get rid of all the midgets and abolish the "under 5'6" class.

Yes DK, only full-grown men should be allowed to compete.

No! Those little guys have as much discipline and gym work ethic as the big guys.  If they don't float your muscle fantasies you don't have to pay attention to their contests and results, but just because you are not interested in something doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.

Sorry, i'm German. We act different when we don't like things.

Spot on! These midgets scream "insecurity issues" louder than a homing SCUD. It ruins the "sport", only MEN with respectable height should be allowed on stage.

Can't beat a smaller person? What did you weigh for your last show?

[njflex]

lee was between 198 and 204 when he won his shows

and as high as 220 mid nineties or so,,,,i think 202 is great for the bber who due to shorter stature or structure and or joint capacity to build or carry over 202 and up,gives all the welters,middles even lightweights chance to compete at 175 on up to the weight limit to at least try.back before 202's many,many great lighweights and middles never competed after winning nationals weight class wasn't worth it.some examples of the smaller guys who did ok was dearth,benfatto,labrada,different times tho,today david henry is good example of a lower weight class success,and he is even starting too look to big for that class.
