Well this changes things... May be hitting up SC before Chicago then. Looking forward to seeing the full national schedule.

I'm all for this even though I view it for what it really is: a place for taller, less muscled, less tan, handsome bodybuilders with a full head of hair and no legs; no distended gut who use mild low androgenic steroids to shine.

So we will finally get the "figure/bikini" men's division in the NPC & IFBB. They're already talking about a Mr. Olympia category for it, & they haven't even made the 202 a Mr. Olympia category yet. Sheesh.

**~gymdiva~** · 10-15-2010, 11:17 AM

um, they had a 202 O this year....

**shankuan** · 10-15-2010, 11:40 AM

the INBF started with 'men's fitness' this year which pretty much is the same thing. The show i did in NYC last mth had this category (both short and tall class) with the top 2 getting modeling contracts and some other stuff. Plus they allowed crossovers, so there were guys from the bodybuilding going up for this as well.

**Sandpig** · 10-15-2010, 11:44 AM

I talked to the Nev. NPC chairman at the Olympia.
He assured me that he would not be adding the mens physique category to any of his shows.

I say, maybe not at first, but if it's brining in lots of cash for other promoters, he'll add it eventually.

**~gymdiva~** · 10-15-2010, 11:48 AM

shankuan you just brought up something I haven't seen addressed yet...crossovers...bikini is not allowed to do it....think men's physique will be the same?
