Hopefully with the new classic physique category , a lot of these freaks will smarten up and try to be more Asthetic !!!
I mean , don't get me wrong , I love these mass monsters , but with all these bubble guts , they look like shit IMO .
I believe the classic physique category will be more popular than the freaks and it'll make it so these guys start to get more conditioned and appealing to look at , and change BBing for the future of the game .
Well that's what I hope happens !!!

TweetAwesome awesome video torres i loved it! I agree with most of the guys, JAY is butt hurt over it because he has a bigger stomach. Its always been about asthetics IMO.

Thanks to Arnold for bringing that subject up!

TweetI agree. That v shape is what i have always strived to maintain. A guy on a body builder is not over all great physique IMHO.
THE guys in Arnold's day did have a different steucture or physique they displayed.
Good post bro!!.

TweetI agree wit Arnold on this and I think he knows better than anyone what bodybuilding is supposed to be about. Bodybuilding is a sport and it has Arnold to thank in large part for how much it has grown over the years. I think Arnold is looking at it as a competition sport, which is supposed to have criteria to be judged on for different categories. One of the bodybuilders in that video mentioned the three categories that were judged on when Arnold competed and that now there are no three categories, instead it is just judged on size. The sport completely changed its rules. Now think if other sports completely changed the rules on how you win. I think he means well but I doubt anything will change. You would think the bodybuilders would welcome such a change because it would be somewhat healthier on them since they wouldn't have to get as big. I did find it kind of funny that Jay Cutler disagreed. Of course he would, he is a 4 time Mr. O and also does not have the small midsection Arnold was talking about.

no that's plain wrong. rich piana is an idiot once again and is just running his freaking mouth like he always does. also keep in mind piana never turned pro. but here are the judging criteria that are looked at:

Judges will score competitors according to the NPC “total package” which is a balance of size, symmetry and muscularity. this is the same standards used to judge the ifbb because it is apart of the same organization. at the pro level, they are scored individually and as a group in prejudging and during the finals.

so someone saying their are no judging standards is a complete and utter fool. should the big guts that arent controlled be penalized? hell yeah they should but again if a competitor on stage has a bigger, better and more conditioned physique then he should win. funny thing is, i know a number of judges and one that is a top dog in another state. what they tell me that is the most common, is conditioning is what wins shows and not always the biggest dude on stage. so the guy with the best package that is conditioned is going to win 9 out of 10 times. they can also argue cedric blah blah blah, well i hate to say it but cedric never really comes in in shape. that's why he never gets the nod, not because he isnt a monster with a huge gut. come in in top tier conditioning and lose then you can cry about your placements

Don't worry I know what you meant. I haven't stayed up on the Mr. Os for a few years now other than reading the results every year to see how they placed, so I shouldn't have assumed Piana knew what he was talking about. I still think Arnold means well though and I get his point. I am still impressed with all of them and admire every one of them too but I do prefer the look that Arnold is referring to with the smaller midsection. My wife's nephew competes and has won a few competitions but he is only 220 off stage. I like watching those competitions though because they fit that look more. But even though he looks as good as the bigger guys he knows he has to gain a lot more weight to ever have a chance at the big time, and then I am guessing he wouldn't have that small mid section.

TweetU can be a big as muther and have no gut !!!
Look at Jason Huh !!! Big fuckin monster and has the vaccum midsection !!!
So it is absolutely possible for these Mass Monsters to correct this problem !!!
