bob can you guys bring back the posing trunks of arnolds day?
the glittery thongs are making it look like gay porno to a non suspecting outsider
The trunks have nothing to do with it. People in Arnold's day thought his trunks were just as "gay porno", as you claim today's trunks are.
Besides, the men's physique competitors have shorts that go past their knees. What's the excuse for that one?
The change that I don't like is the rule that only the winners of the "small" shows qualify for the Olympia. That makes no sense, especially if you're trying to make the Olympia better.
Case in point, Brandon Curry didn't win a pro show. Yet, at the O, he beat FOUR GUYS who did (Yamagishi, Nunn, Richardson, and Alves). Heck, Richardson barely cracked the top 15; Alves placed "16th".
