Stop the madness! Make this a required pose for Pro contests.

It's been said before, but the vacuum pose should become a required pose at pro contests.  Done like below, by John Defendis and Frank Zane, certainly shows ab, pec, intercostal and lat development.  Could be a great way to eliminate pros who abuse GH and get "GH gut".

I agree wholeheartedly with you.  There are still a few pros that can pull this pose off, but certainly it would eliminate quite a few top centenders.

That is a kick-ass pose.  It's too bad BB has become so f'd up beyond repair that stuff like this will never be seen again.

The only one I feel who would've been able to pull such a pose is Shawn Ray. Okay, Shawn, go 'head and plug your show again.  :P

I hate to say it, but I agree. This pose would be good for bodybuilding, but it won't happen.

You're right. It'll NEVER happen.... not with today's physique.

What the hell does that pose have to do with muscularity? It shows nothing besides that you can suck a lot of air  into your lungs and pull your abs in..
If they are going to add any poses they should add aesthetic poses like twisting back double, side bicep shit like that so that it shows of an aesthetic physique, not retarded shit like sucking your stomach in

I would say it shows off the serratus at its best......and if you don't have some serious "Y" shape going on you're going to look like shit in this pose.

I know you'd see alot of puking on stage if any of these Mass gut monsters tried such a pose.

Is there any way that fans can make their support for this idea known to the IFBB?

I think the relaxed gut pose should be mandatory. The bigger the gut, the higher the ranking.
