I just hope there are standards that are announced, so that this will not be another class where no-one knows what the competitors ought to look like. Why I care, I don't know.

here's a Q....

How many getbiggers would sit through an hour or more of "Mens Figure" contest?

Personally - and this is only me - I would leave and then come back to see the bodybuilding show.

Judging by what I saw at the Muscle&Fitness Physique Contest at the Olympia, and the Bodyspace Contest in January, and also various other events, there is an interest for it, and a lot of guys want to compete.

These guys need to wear board shorts, which are like long shorts that look cool.   It isnt going to be gay, and a can guarantee you that a lot of these guys have girlfriends that would love to see them compete.

Ron, there wasn't much interest for the male model search at the Olympia.  Sorry, guys walking out in board shorts in a male beauty pageant is gay.  If the NPC wants to have a classic bodybuilding division, that's a little different because at least it's still a bodybuilding show.  Nobody wants to see a male model show.

This is a great look (someone posted this photo laughing that maby this guy can be a iffb pro lol!!!! without ofc posting photos of himself so I responded)

he looks fucking Awesome.

You look better I assume after that post? so throw up one of yourself.

I always found it hiiarious how people HATE on those who doesn't wanna take the aas abuse TOO FAR.
It seems like if you Care about your health, everyone hates you. IF you dont give a fuck and dont mind DYING FOR IT EVEN IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HAD HOME and are praiosed decades after you die.

How FUCKED UP isn't that Really? mainstream lol.




Physique looks good, but is he wearing lipstick and eye makeup?! Hairstyle is a bit Comme Ci, Comme Ça, too. :D (I know, I'm just jealous because I'm an ugly midget bb'er......)

From the NPC Board of Governors meeting at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.

There WILL be a new "physique" division for the men starting in 2011.


It will be interested as the exact details of this new division comes out, but I assume it will be like what Flex had at the Olympia onstage at the expo.   Basically, not too muscular (aka, not for Flex Magazine), but more for the magazines of Muscle & Fitness.  Should be interesting.   

At the Flex contest onstage at the Olympia, they had more than 45+ male competitors vying for the top spot.



AND WHO ARE THEY?

The Physique division will likely be added to the Team Universe and USA contests, with yes IFBB Pro League status rewarded.

I knew this was coming when I saw the male model search at the Olympia expo.  The expo is used as a testing ground for future IFBB divisions, like bikini.  Will men's bodybuilding be pushed aside, like female bodybuilding was, in an effort to soften the look and appeal to "mainstream".  I just think it's a bad idea to conduct male beauty pageants when you're a physique federation.

How long till the NPC adds a 'fat slob' division in an attempt to generate more revenue and garner more mainstream attention?

even though i hate the bikini division personally..........i could understand how it might be successful..........the women are more feminine and pretty.........not as big



but NOBODY wants to go to a bodybuilding contest to see skinnier men compete...........you can go a swim meet and actually watch them do something,

Absolutely.

He has a good physique for sure, but nobody wants to see this type posing on an IFBB/NPC stage.

This is bodybuilding, not fitness.

It's not going to be classic bodybuilding, it's men's figure.  "Male models" walking out in swimming trunks, nothing to do with bodybuilding.

They have that in the NANBF they call it lifetime achievement awards (for fat people that lose weight ).

It's ridiculous that guys with classic lines, that train more a less natural, are healthy and can walk two yards without collapsing, might be called a bodybuilder? Only rampant drug abusing missfits that society shuns should be called bodybuilders, only the hardcore guys. ::)

1.  People in this class won't be natural, not by a long shot.

2.  They won't be bodybuilders, they will be physique models.
