2022 Olympia - Classic Physique Mr. O - Discussion

[ChristopherA]

Classic is by far the best class with the truest form of bodybuilders. The Open guys look like slobs compared to their conditioning

Wtf is growing outta Chris' leg ?? Humans don't have muscle bellies up there, do they?

[Flexacon]

If they gave him the 6ft to 6'1" weight class then that's fair, but if he's down as over 6'1" then that has to be complete BS

thats not even touching his head FFS

[Stephano]

That thing isn't within 2" of his scalp.

[Rambone]

But but but supposedly his arms got bigger. Looks like a tiny tit next to the Buminator

Maybe he can move on to open and compete against the big boys

Okay let's try get some things about Bumstead straight.

Over a year ago Bumstead said he was 6ft and a dude measured him at 6ft1 in shoes, so 6ft seems legit (Video A 1.30min)

Few days ago they measured Bumsteads height at 6ft2 which included his 2inch hairstyle. 6ft2 is BS. Weighed in at 237lbs  (Video B 0.02mins)

Over 6’ 0”, up to and including 6’ 1” (185 cm)
Up to and including 230 lbs (104 kg)

Over 6’ 1”, up to and including 6’ 2” (188 cm)
Up to and including 240 lbs (109 kg)

Bumstead is being gifted an extra weight class (10lbs) maybe even 2 classes (20lbs)

WE HAVE BEEN FRAUDED!!!!

For sure 10-lb.

I think the NFL uses a laser to measure players. I'm actually surprised the IFBB measures height at all. I thought it was an honor system.

[falco]

We have been frauded. This will not stand.

[sculpture]

Very true. 6' 240

This physique would destroy those punks

[20inch calves]

Cbum looks good but this guy from 32 years ago would have beat him

&t=54s

True..but there's no way this guy would make weight

[20inch calves]

Like it was already said..it's crazy how they count his hair

[joswift]

True..but there's no way this guy would make weight

the guy is less than 240, and hes over 6ft, of couse he would make weight

[wazhazbin]

Question,  what’s the max weight for 5’10 ?

[joswift]

Question,  what’s the max weight for 5’10 ?

I stir the pot by filing suit in height fraud and fair advantage. My demands would be an official OUTSIDE body height people in. I've shouting about CBum and his height fraud for a while. This stretching to get an unfair advantage is bullshit and needs to be fixed as well. CBum should be 222 and he's 237. 

[oldschoolfan]

here is flex wheeler at 5-10 220  he would destroy bumstead

How is doing the torture-rack thing any different than guys starving and dehydrating themselves to make 212 and then filling up to compete WAY over 212? If anything, I'd say the rack thing is healthier and safer.

It reminds me of that Johnnie Jackson story, where he says he ate on the same 10-oz chicken breast for a week, leading up to the 2001 Nationals (and dehydrated himself) to make light-heavyweight (198 lb). Then, he competed onstage at 217 the next night.

He would only have to lose 10 pounds (assuming the claim of him being 240 is even accurate and not overstated)

Also, from reading this thread it seems that 2 inches of Cbums height comes from his hair so maybe they are both right about the same height and weight

WIGGS, Great suggestion by Dave regarding a contestants height on his NPC/IFBB card.

My only question is "When does that contestant's true height get "printed" on his card?.

Cards are usually issued by mail, so an additional or new card would have to be printed and issued at an official contest weigh-in and verified by an official and agreed to by the contestant.

I'm wondering if that would work or merely cause additional problems?

But the biggest problem as you mentioned earlier is the long delay backstage before the contenders are called on stage.

I'm sure that they are working on that problem  but it has been somewhat of a problem for as long back as I can remember in big events and may be near  impossible to fix.
