SNOWMAN, Good question, but only time will tell.
I am sure that there is a standard Classic BB judges' Criteria and I would surmise that the intent of classic bodybuilding is to get away form the bulky blunder look (bulky blunder meaning thick waistlines and overall massive development).
The look that most believe will be more acceptable to the general public and the majority of GetBiggers.
And the look that America's younger generation seem to wish to emulate or try to excel in.
The classic event at this year's Olympia will most likely set the standards and thereby produce a decent amount of animosity among the bodybuilding world and the fans within it.
We all seem to like to argue the outcomes which makes bodybuilding events even more popular.
