Yates new bodybuilding contest
« on: July 23, 2017, 05:45:13 PM »
What do you think of Yates promotion of a new bodybuilding contest?  Don't know too much about it. If I got the facts wrong go directly to his site but it's something like this. Round one is 8 exercises done on exercise machines for 12 reps. Most weight used wins the most points. Round two is some kind of medical machine that will measure body fat and will measure proportions. So a small waist with a big chest measurement will score more points. Is this some kind of x ray machine? That's not good to be exposed to.  Don't know how the math will work will work. Biggest guy gets the most points for the biggest arms? A lot of math to be worked out especially if one guys is 5'2" and the other 6'2".    Will symmetry be a factor?  Personally I think the old AAU Mr. America got it right with athletic points giving them points for their total in Olympic lifts. Some bodybuilders are so depleted on contest day they would have trouble with that test.
