Head IFBB judge said Heath lost the O thanks to the bubble guy.

About damn time although he did place 2nd.

I hope they start really pushing for physique again. This whole mass monster competition is killing the sport.

Yup. It's all about the mass. Less separation, less definition, and these damn bubble guts.

Thank god. I stopped caring about Mr. O. Dexter Jackson was one of the last ones I really liked. Ronnie was also too big but I liked him a lot.

Basically, it’s turned into who can take the most drugs before competition to get as massive as possible. It’s supposed to be appealing to look at a body builder, not revolting.

Things changed after Dorian Yates. A lot of the "mass monster" guys just don't look healthy.

I liked Ronnie because he lifted super heavy and was a fun personality, but he looked better before he got huge. I wouldn't want to look like the after pic.

Interesting video. I think it scares people away from the sport (the casual fan) the same way people were turned off to the women’s body building events where women stopped looking human.

I’m not an expert or anything but I do think moving back to more golden era looks would bring more people into the sport. Casual observation from someone who doesn’t really understand how they judge, though so correct me if I’m wrong.

As others mentioned this all started with Yates and the abuse of Slin/GH. Bodybuilding is such a shitty/unhealthy “sport”. It will never have a mainstream following, but it’s good to see somebody trying to reverse the mass at all costs era.

I think bodybuilding is most mainstream when someone would think "I want to look like that."

I don't think most people want to look like mass monster bodybuilders.

I thought the IFBB came out and confirmed this is the direction they were going because it's gotten out of hand with the size.

Pretty sure Ronnie turned pro natty, then spoke to Flex about protocols then blew up. Classic Physique class is a way more 'attainable' look than open BB.

Reminds me of that episode of Regular Show where Muscleman was all out of shape and flabby, but he still won the bodybuilding competition because he could pose better than the others.

After Frank Zane, Mr. Olympia winners started looking like ridiculous tanned turtles and no one can change my mind.

Those guys are on the gas too. Don’t kid yourself. Same goes for men’s physique. They use the same compounds as the big guys.
