WHY ARE THE PRO IFBB BODYBUILDING JUDGES IGNORING CERTAIN THINGS - by Gary Strydom

That's society in general. Generation of suck.

O/T..But just want to say I love my ASA Miken NRG. Once broken in, they are on fire!

while i think gary still and has a great physique.. he did lack in bodyparts.. his back especially.. gary always said he did not want a big back but a "athletic" back.. i have to say, with all due repspect, that is b.s. it was simply a bodypart gary could bot bring up no matter what he did.. it happens.. now, as a pro bodybuilder, i would rather be lacking in the calf dept than the back dept..

as for what people prefer.. guys, freaks sell.. go to the expos.. people lined up to get their photos with the freaks.. freaks sell magazine covers.. people may not always want to look like a freak but they sure as hell want to the freak at the shows.. and what matters is who is buying the supplements and the show tickets.. ask any publisher what sells.. and its branch warren, old markus ruhl, jay cutler, kai ect.. people that buy the tickets want to see cartoonish kai came out.. not a haidar posing to "wind beneath my wings"..

mens physique was put in for more guys to do for one reason.. they bring their loved ones and family with them.. so if ya get 30 contestants in mens physique they bring 3 people or more with them.. more ticket sales.. plus each competitor has to buy a entry fee ect.. the npc is not dumb.. its about trying to get more money any way they can.. hell give them time and they will have pole dancing competitions.. unfortuantely it might be true lol.. but the hardcore fans is what keeps the shows going.. they buy the supplements ect.. but when ya add things like bikini and mens physique it drives the tickets up more.. plus its easier to do mens physique and womens bikini.. so more will do it.. for the time being at least..

So true lats. It's funny, because all the bikini girls backstage do nothing for me. They look so lost, like they are out in left field. Maybe they are good for the crowd, but it seems a bit whimsical for me.

bodybuilder's aren't "athletes" and bodybuilding isn't a sport.
is men's physique and women's bikini a sport?
they LOOK like athletes more than bodybuilder's do, but it's only cosmetic.
like a racing stripes on an old cavalier.

You don't think bodybuilders look like athletes?
