I'm not demanding a full investigation or a blue-ribbon panel or any of that other bullshit.
There needs to be a change. This is something that the decision-makers should've recognized after the first-ever IFBB men's physique pics were published. And we fans are still here 2 years later wondering....

Vision Street Wear Approved.

Agreed on the board shorts. Stupid idea on their part. I'm competing in mens physique for the first time in Nov and have to wear those silly things. I'd rather wear what they have in Dillett's federation (forget the name, WBFF?) where it looks basically like tight boxer trunks. Legs should count, not just the calf. I bust my ass doing squats 2ce a week along with other leg work for my own satisfaction, but if I were judged on that too, that would make me that much more motivated to train legs like an animal.

This is a way better look than those stupid broad shorts.

The board shorts bug me - but what bugs me even more, is that they don't hit any bodybuilding poses.... just do a couple of quarter turns - as if its a male figure contest.
Make them hit some bodybuilding shots.

Absolutely, both those board shorts and "posing" are ridiculous... WBFF's Muscle Models are clearly superior...

Women's Physique division even hit bodybuilding poses - why should men's physique be any different??? So stupid!

Gayer than wondering for two years about men's physique.

The guy who won this year Buendai used to compete in BB so he has legs. Hitting poses would make it at least more than ab show.

A price worth paying not to have to look at a man's ass cheeks,

Uber gay for dudes to be requesting tighter shorter underwear. God that is just blizzare to me.
-
Maybe they are trying to look like surfer dudes or just regular guys at the beach only with better builds.
-
If someone didn't already say it I think you mean blue riband.
-
I guess quads don't count.

I'm guessing it is because they want it to go somewhat mainstream.

Its as much a sport as bodybuilding, which no one outside bodybuilding takes seriously.
So they are the same.

I can accept that, but isn't it considered more mainstream these days to go in a gayer direction? (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Wearing an item of clothing doesn't define gay
Sexual preference defines gay.

Gayer than wondering for two years about men's physique.
;D My thoughts exactly. In all honesty, I heard they were swicthing over to the boxer brief look last year. What in the world could be the hold up? ??? :'(

Are you saying you find board shorts gayer than guys wearing thongs and pulling them up their ass crack to show off their glutes?

You heard a rumor. The board shorts will never go away. Men's Physique started because of the success that happened with the bikini division...MP is the answer to that. Half of the competitors have no legs, and it's even more than half in the NPC. The promoters want entry fees and the ticket sales that go along with more competitors. If you're one of the guys considering doing a show when you see your buddy up there, and suddenly the attire is a square cut trunk that displays leg development (as it should be), and you have polio legs, you're not gonna waste your time entering. The promoters are aware of this, so the board shorts stay. And c'mon, it's obviously just a cattle call. They don't even compare the competitors. How can they if there are no mandatories?

For me this is a good and a bad thing. I have genetically shitty legs, but I train them like an animal and they've come up a lot (size-wise, not shape, shape still sucks). On one hand the trunks work in my advantage in that they hide my glaring weak spot, on the other hand all that work I put into my legs is for not (except my own satisfaction, which makes it all worth the hard work for me anyway).

As noted above, Men's physique (a misnomer) was created to mirror the bikini division. Why the board shorts? - just happened to be the fashion in men's swimwear at the time (unlike the bikini, which has been a perennial since it's inception.). The thing is the sexes aren't mirror images- you can't convincingly market men as sex objects- which is basically what the bikini division does.

We fans began calling for men's 'figure' a decade-plus ago and so it was only a matter of time before the PTB listened and gave the fans and lazy MMA-wannabes what they wanted. There was too much money to be made here. But I don't believe there was a thought - at least within the fan or prospective competitor communities - that they wouldn't wear some sort of brief. I understand what you're saying about popular fashion and while that does make sense, in theory, when you actually open your eyes and look, it should be pretty clear what a stupid idea it is.
Who's on the current competition committee?

We all know that you're down with both, no piss off.

As somebody recently said to me, "Speak for yourself." You don't know what "we" all know because you don't know shit. And that is painfully obviously to anyone reading your posts.

Ban surfers.

I gotcha man. A ifbb pro/judge told me that over a year ago, maybe thats what SHE wanted to happen.

Two national judges I have known for years, told me, it was to make MPD a "user friendly" division to get the boyfriends of bikini and figure girls to enter shows with them. $$$$ and entry fees, that's it.
