Men's Classic Physique Division... Here We Go!

Any word of this?

Heard some talk to it a few years ago and since they have everything else now a days, why not include this division

The one objection I've heard is that shows are already too long. Adding another division wouldn't help.

But promoters can always pick which divisions to have in their competitions, right?

I'd definitely like to see the NPC add this category.

Don't look now Curt, but while there may not be a classic bodybuilding division, they just announced the creation of a Classic Physique division for men.

Dave's getting his hair dyed, Duque is fucking a male midget, Curt is in the art room 'coaxing' kids to feel his paint brush, and the Muslim guy is waging jihad.

Can't wait to hear what Dave/Chris/and athletes think of the new division!!!! I think Sandy Williamson was being really hypocritical in the video. Admitting it is their fault the athletes have been rewarded for more and more muscle (i.e. figure!!!!) I look forward to seeing the new figure standard, as a figure athlete!

I think, they will think it's a great idea.

**Coolinolympia** · 09-08-2015, 04:27 PM

I think they will, too, since it was their idea!!! But it will be a great Heavy Muscle TV or Radio episode!!!!!!

**Coolinolympia** · 09-08-2015, 04:35 PM

I agree! We need a breaking news video and discussion episode on this!!!!

I haven't seen anything that says it will replace board shorts, but nice to see a more engaging option for the less-than-freakshow-who-want-to-preserver-their-kidneys bodybuilders.

I can see this making competitions at least 1/3 longer than they already are because there will be posing routines included. Already we're seeing shows turn into 2 day events. I imagine that will be even more common going forward. I do hope they are split into well-timed group categories so you can select the part you want to watch instead of the whole damn thing.

Cash! Cow!
