ONCE AGAIN AGREE.. the 202 is too limiting and therefore getting boring.. henry, eduardo, jose, english are all now 'training to maintain".. they have maxed out the class and can not afford to gain another ounce of muscle.. so how does one correct a weak point? they cant.. henry has a "weakness" of his quad and hams.. yet he can not afford to gain any more muscle.. this class puts him a a disadvantage so to speak.. we will see the same henry, eduardo, jose ect ect for now on in this silly class.. they are having a hard time making weight as its is.. now they sit and watch some of the others in that class play catch up..
the open class is more exciting because we dont know what look the competitors are going to bring... will some strealine a bit? will some go for a freakier look.. it varies from show to show.. but not in the 202.. thats is why the money is not there..
so what is the solution? simple really.. the guys in the 202 are 56 and under.. make it a short class.. a optional short class.. one can enter the open or the short class if he qualifies.. this allows the guys to bring what ever look they feel is better for them.. english has said he feel that 215 or 220 is better for him.. so be it.. henry would be about 210 or 212 i feel.. but it gives them the freedom to bring their best look.. and it makes the class more exciting.. what will english bring? what will henry look like.. it brings the excitment into a rather dull class..
right now all we are doing is holding some back with this silly 202.. it is like lowering the hoops in basket ball because it is not fair for the little guys.. holding back the muscle gains for others to catch up is just as silly.. either you have the ability or not..
