Not an option for me sorry.. pimp, I'm more asking where the competitors of today are! :roll:

[Varven]

The first pic of the 2 guys on the left.

What category are they competing in.

Im not trying to be critical but my general perception was I thought the 2 of them had relatively low amounts of muscle mass and quite a high bf% level to be competing ? , Unless if it was an athletic competition, in which case bf would still be considered high ?

Im not sure if my expectations of BB is super high after getting used to following most pros across in U.S., Europe or whether the quality localy is a bit low.. getting back to topic.. what category where those 2 blokes competing in . any idea ?

Hi

If it's jpg 001 you're referring to, I think they are the two juniors.

[02flex]

All you guys, constantly baging the condition of atheletes or that there are not many of them.

I just want to say congrates to Salah for winning the overall. at the end of the day it does not matter that he is a junior winning the overall, he was the best male there on the day. and he's going to give any opens guy a run for his money when he is leaner. and also all you guys complianing about how many there are. why dont you get off your fat arses and compete.. it so easy to be sitting and watching (and complaining). also some competitors where a little smooth but who knows where they came from?? thats why they have a novice class.

so big congrates on every competitor at the counties, it was a fantastic show..

thanks

Flex , its not a statement on any one individual, that some are makeing , it is a generalisation on the overall position of body building at present , and the more people make these observations and remarks the better the chance the federations and the people whom are charged with runnung them will listen ok , so relax and keep your spandex on, oh if any one does enter a bodybuilding show and is offeneded by personal opinion, DONT DO BODY BUILDING SHOWS because it is all about peoples opinions!! DAH!!

[hrdcor]

He could have been the best of a bad lot.I remember in Australia if you looked like that they would give you second even if only two in your class.Can't remember the organization but hey if you aren't good enough to win then you shouldn't.Come on we know how to diet and god don't you have a mirror oe friends to say hey you are off.

Oh this is Lee writing

[frogie2001]

that is a lot of growth for two years!! what did he supplement with ? or did he just eat lots

either way when he gets to the nationals it should be a good show

[Varven]

Its no personal dig at any competitors.. congrats to all of them for their achievements. But this is Body Building, its not TV3, biggest Loser fat loss competition. So I dont see whats the fuss about being dissapointed at guys with relatively high bf%. Would F1 fans be annoyed if theyre cars raced around at 50k/h ?

I think when people talk about he good old days they mean Pre Drug Testing and when there was only two federations and one of them was not that strong, and when there was only around 8 shows per year !!!, oh and there was no figure or fittness or athletic to add to the confusion or dilute the classes( not that i am against figure, i am pro figure but athletic???

Now heres an old but good argument.. Athletic was supposed to help those that wanted to compete but didnt want the um, 'enhanced' look of the phys class. By using the height and weight rule it allowed guys to compete in a class where everybody would be around the same size. I guess the problem was that any competitor who felt too small for phys and made the weight could then compete in athletic. This in turn has reduced the entries into the nov phys class. I admit I am very biased on the subject having competed a couple of times in athletic class but I felt it was a competitive and satisfying experience. The fact that athletic class is now in the international arena give props to its popularity..

Just my opinion..
