This is unacceptable the way bodybuilding is going. We don't want to see biggest, or grainiest man winning shows. We want to see the most beautiful physiques winning shows.
I have my marching orders from Arnold (see video). I have been one of the more vocal ones about this for years amongst many others here. If there's one thing this diverse group of people on this board can agree on, it's that professional bodybuilding for men is a disgrace. It wasn't always like that and it doesn't have to continue to be this way. It's been the running joke on this board for years. The reset button needs to be pressed. The IFBB Rule Book needs to be adhered to regarding judging. The posing round needs to be scored for posing, guts need to go and vacuums need to return. V-tapers need to return, insulin needs to go, tie-ins and striations need to return, sunken faces precontest need to return. The physiques from the late 80s to early 90s need to return. Unless bodybuilding is intentionally being destroyed, there's no reason to keep mens bodybuilding going in the direction has been going. This isn't going to go away, Arnold embarrassed the the hell out of the judges (which they should have been). Please do something to change this and go back to physiques people aspired to have.
