[Tre]

Open-toed 'athletic slippers'

BayGBM ain't into the circuit boy look

Somebody is actually paying attention.

the number of men entering bodybuilding contests is down significantly from 20-30 years ago.  the reason is simple:  most guys don't want to do the amount of GH and insulin required to compete in the NPC.  this athletic or classic division simply allows people to be judged more on symmetry and proportionality rather than mass at all cost.

On the other hand, I could do with a good laugh watching these pathetic fools!

how is looking like a top bodybuilder from the 1970s being a fool?

[Farcry]

so these figure guys are going to look like arnold and zane?

Seriously though, is the intention to make an "aesthetic" divison where athletes such a Darreem Charles, Melvin Anthony, Milos Sarcev, and Francis Benfatto will be rewarded or is it really just going to be a male-model queer boy contest?

[Rome]

The first Mr. Figure..

He will set a new record for consecutive wins. Behold the future

[BayGBM]

Don’t hate on rich queers.  Who do you think hires all your body building heroes for private posing sessions?

[shootfighter1]

horrible idea imo.  fix some of the judging standards curently and leave it at that.   thats fine if there is a "model" division but it should be completely separated from bbing. 

yeah, nabba does it & its quit popular in europe.

finally stanMC will be able to get his pro-card 

[Condor]

so these figure guys are going to look like arnold and zane?

Not exactly what I would call a "figure" guy.  Take your head out of your ass.

[ricosauve]

ok, lest make a list of possible competitors??

[BroadStreetBruiser]

ok, lest make a list of possible competitors??

If it's the gay dollar that keeps bodybuilding alive, how come the smaller ("classic") bodybuilders seem so gay to us. Women usually prefer the smaller guys, while gay or straight men prefer the huge bodybuilders.

[ARMZ]

Militia and 1Fast nailed it - you're going to see a lot of guys competing in this division over the next few years.  More competitors = more money for federations and promoters, so it will definitely become a permanent part of the landscape here in North America, as it has already in Europe.   
I'm totally cool with it as long as the guys don't walk around the shows with their lats flared out trying to appear 'tough'. 

I'm sure they'll be walking around with their hands flared out.  We have a few at our gym, they all dance between sets to their Techno and disappear off to the showers for hours.

[Wombat]

guys men's figure skating is huge...Mens gymnastics is huge...Why not men's fitness?...And yes they will walk around with their lats flared...The women do it now...The guy's in mens gymnastics do it...So why wouldn't mens fitness?...
