Subject: A Sincere Thank You & My First Act as NPC Chairman
Dear Esteemed Members of the NPC,
I ESFitness, am honored and humbled to accept the role of Chairman of the National Physique Committee, a position granted to me by the people—the lifeblood of this incredible sport. Your support and confidence in my leadership mean everything, and I vow to uphold the standards of discipline, dedication, and undeniable grit that have made bodybuilding what it is today.
As my first official act as Chairman, I am implementing a necessary and long-overdue change:
Effective immediately, the Men’s Physique Division will now be officially renamed to Men’s Bikini—a title more fitting for those who choose to compete with swimwear. Furthermore, any competitor who wishes to earn an IFBB Pro Card after winning their Men’s Bikini class must prove they have more than just spray tan and selfies to offer. This means squatting 225 pounds for three full reps—ass to grass. No partial reps, no excuses, no "my knees don’t like it." If you want to call yourself a professional in this sport, you’d better be able to squat like one.
Additionally, in recognition of the unique fashion preferences of Men’s Bikini competitors, I am introducing a new rule: athletes will now be permitted to carry a man purse on stage to accessorize their silly shorts. After all, presentation matters, and what better way to complement a division built on aesthetics than with a tasteful crossbody bag?
I look forward to leading this organization into a future built on strength, integrity, and full-range-of-motion squats.
With respect and a heavy barbell,
ESFitness
Chairman, National Physique Committee
