So I was at the NPC Sacramento this weekend as part of my coaching of my client for the open light heavyweight BB'ing division. There were a total of about 4 guys in each class, with only one light heavy, one heavy (my client who did not make weight) and one superheavy. I can remember, back in the day, the Sac was one of the biggest NPC shows of the year especially since it was two weeks before Nationals and was many guys last chance to qualify for Nationals. There used to be 20+ guys in each class, if not more, and the condition and size these guys brought to the stage was incredible. I witnessed the same low amount of BB'ing competitors at the SF BB'ing championship two weeks ago. Is amateur competitive Bodybuilding dying and if so why?
Clearly the number of classic physique and physique competitors has increased dramatically and maybe that is one reason but its a shame that we may be witnessing the death of amateur bodybuilding....
