We're Frank Zane or Serge nubret less committed than today's mass monsters? Did Mike Mentzer workout with less intensity? No way! Today's mass monsters are mostly the result of drug regimens, genetic types and their willingness to sacrifice their future health for size. Personally, I think classic physique is not only more aesthetic, but the competitors are going to live longer lives as well.. I hope bodybuilding moves back in that direction for its own sake....

Someone who is classic phyisque problaby takes milder doses and less substances, sure they will shorten their lifespan but by how much? I'd say that they might be losing 10% of their lifespan or 20%, meanwhile we see bodybuilders dropping dead who go for mass and are up in the grams, they die at the age of 40-50 and that's pretty insane honestly. This doesn't mean everyone who uses a lot of gear will die like Ronnie Coleman or Arnold but still, people who take less have less side-effects and better prospects on health.
@josephabrams40026 жыл бұрын
The Progressive Brit that's a fair point.... However if you look at modern bodybuilders dropping off like flies before they're 50 and many before they're 40, and compare that to people like Bill Pearl who are still alive in their 80s, Frank Zane who's in great shape in his 70s and other earlier bodybuilders, there's no question that the classic physique stars are in fact living way longer and some of them are still in great health....

Classic physique is definitely a healthier weight to live by. Less substances (baby pleaseee,(sorry couldnt resist)). I honestly think open bodybuilding is riskier as you put everything to the extreme. Sure classic category requires a lot of effort and dedication, but I view it as persuing bodybuilding “the safer route”. Open is whatever it takes while classic is whatever it takes as well but in a modest manner in terms of drugs and weight.

When I stopped football my first reaction was to be a bodybuilder but I had no directions and just tried to get as big as possible. And I lost most of my athleticism and ended up injured and set me back a couple years. After that I decided I wasn’t willing to take myself to the Phil Heath level because I didn’t want to risk my health. I tried powerlifting and CrossFit just to fill my competitive void. Then classic physique came around and I found out weight limits according to height. This was the turning point for me. I fill like classic physique is my perfect fit because I can be a bodybuilder but keep my athleticism. And I’ll probably never do anything else now. Lol

More popularity in which case can make bodybuilding “mainstream” which can turn out to higher payouts to for top competitors, as Nick stated it can give competitions opportunities to partake in other careers such as Hollywood stars, and it’s also healthier than Open Bodybuilding. CP is the reason I started to train and prep for my first show here in August and of course I will compete in the Classic division.

When I was younger and ignorant about current bodybuilding, I thought bodybuilders were guys who looked like Arnold, Zane, and that crowd. Once I got older and first saw guys like Kai Greene and Phil Heath, I immediately thought, “I’m not a fan of the thick waist, massive type, look.” Like you said Nick, it’s certainly impressive, but I’m a fan of Classic Physique because that’s how I always imagined bodybuilding to be. I think it’s much more aesthetic, but that’s just my preference, and probably the preference of the pro competitors, not because they can’t. As a side note I’d say He-Man was more classic than open, but that’s just a fun remark. Overall, definitely agree with you.

Great topic, and I agree that people realize the classic physique is more attainable, healthier from a body weight perspective, and less abusive of insulin and other chemicals.

Yes exactly. Comparing bodybuilding vs classic physique is far too easier its not that easy to put that much mass with that much cutting, muscularity, vascularity, everything. Though both needs too much hardwork but if we compare both the categories bodybuilding is much tougher than that of classic one!

When body building shifted into such an extreme, that it forces us to look back at what we want for ourselves. These guys are working very hard to achieve their physiques and what they have accomplished nothing can take that away. If someone is making comments like that it only means their afraid, when they should be embarrassing them instead insulting them.

Excellent video Nick! Thank you for sticking up for the classic physique bodybuilders. Mens Open bodybuilding has become disgusting with their bloated bubble guts and ridiculous non-aesthetic size.

Many men just don’t want to be MASSIVE. They want to be built (as they used to say), cut and actually healthy. You’re right on the money Nick, the new ideal is the classic, aesthetic look over being “the hulk”. I’m not sure many men, outside of the relatively minor number of body builders and followers, that want to be that huge. Having a body like any of these guys is not “easy”. They all have to work at looking like that and it’s disrespectful to say otherwise.

I think it's interesting how perspective has changed. I started training in the late 80's and my idols at the time were from the "golden era" and they would now be considered classic physiques, yet friends of mine said they were disgusting and unnatural. What would they think of today's bodybuilers? I was a skinny so ideally I would love to have been the freaky massive dude but genes would never have allowed it. But I was still in the gym six days a week, eating a disciplined diet and taking some "extra" help. Genetics and personal choice I think bit I'm sure they're still putting in the effort.

Classic physique is tougher than mass monsters. Its hard to maintain the aesthetics yet gaining mass. Bodybuilding, they just have to bulk up with GH(being practical and honest) and keep lifting heavy weights to get rid of fat. For classic, you need to maintain body fat to 6-7percent with enough mass to not get u out of classic category. Its hard man, its hard.

Kids in the 80's wanted to grow up to look like He-Man. The buff look of the guys in He-Man, Thundercats, etc was heavily influenced by the bodybuilders of the day, in particular Arnie. Classic physique is taking things back to that aesthetic. Makes perfect sense to me. Case in point: He-Man is basically blonde Conan, and who played Conan?

They aren't pushing their bodies like open bodybuilders do. That in itself shows its easier to do than the open. But there is nothing wrong with wanting a smaller, more aesthetic physique. Less risk and lots of financial openings is a smart way to go. That being said I'll always be an open bb fan 😬

Higher dosage of exogenous hormones = faster recovery. It is more difficult to push yourself to the max when your body is not fully recovered from the previous workout (i.e. when you take lower doses of exogenous hormones, or none at all). Open bodybuilders have to force-feed themselves more, though.
@gregbellisle91284 жыл бұрын
Nick you are so spot on in this video. Classic physique is bodybuilding and to be honest it is probably harder to achieve their bodies verses the open bodybuilders. Yes classic physique competitors are still taking steriods but nothing to the extent of the open bodybuilders. Less drugs, awesome physique, means even harder work. While i appreciate the mass monsters and enjoy seeing how ridiculously big they get, i would way sooner look like a Classic Physique competitor eveyday of the he week. When open bodybuilders insult the Classic physique bodybuilder, it shows they are just threatened by the popularity of the Golden Era Bodybuilders.

I feel that maybe 5% of the population has the potential to be a super heavy weight. Where maybe 20% of the population has the potential to be classic. It simply opens the stage up to more people that just dont have the genes to be 250+ shredded. Hell most people dont have the genes to be 200 and shredded. Everyone that competes trains hard. Everyone is taking the stuff. In most cases in the same amounts if not more. They're all doing the same shit with different results. That's why there are 4 different categories. Just my 2 cents

This stemmed from Jose Raymond's video yesterday. I think he has some truth to his case. I don't take it negatively. Classic guys sometimes can't fill out enough to look like true bodybuilders, same with men's physique. And it should be no shame in it, just get in where you fit in. But don't call it 'easier'. There aren't enough BB divisions in the IFBB like in the NPC anyway, it's either 212 or open. I think classic physique is to fill that void. Aka, taller 212 guys.
@benjaminwilson88076 жыл бұрын
A little late, but this point is really it. Do what you're best at. Maybe some of the classic guys can't fill out like the open guys, but many of the open guys wouldn't make it in some of the smaller divisions either.

Totally agree 100%... I'm entering one next week. The smaller natural show is ok. But this open the door for me to return to NPC and by the way, I'm 47. So it allows for me to stay healthy at my age and get to enjoy the sport.

I totaly agree, people want to be abble to have a more "normal life", to walk or run or having sex and breath normal, not to be ablle to do little things, other kind of sports for fun, the agility and to be free of movements its kind of cool, and the main point health. I hope this category grow more and more.
