Bodybuilding is really beginning to piss me off and you might even describe the feeling as having hemorrhoids. I am constantly being swamped by journals and articles about how poor physique standards have become and what really gets at me are the concerns about professional contests judging results.
From a personal perspective I can say with out a doubt that over the past few decades I have indeed witnessed enormous changes throughout bodybuilding contests and I have noticed how the standards have increased for both finalists and winners. I can say with my hand on my heart that my sport has begun an evolution that was previously unknown.
I love to go and watch other people competing at international levels and I will always make my own personal opinion on the possible outcome, but there is one thing I will always resign myself from doing and that is judging other people.
So with that my further comments are meant in no way to criticize any of those brave guys who chose to sit on the judging panels. I realize the pressure they must be under as their own opinions can either make or break the competitor's careers, advertising deals, sponsorships and even the rest of their lives. Just imagine what Arnold might be doing now if he hadn't won competitive events during his youth.
The actual amount of bodybuilders that just train with the intention of competing in physique contests is very minimal as the majority of weight trainers out there will be concentrating on rehab, increased strength for their chosen sport, gaining or losing weight and just good old muscle gains.
Arnold was an exception to the rule as he knew from his very first squat and dead lift that he wanted to become the world's best bodybuilding champion. The normal guy in the gym bodybuilder these types of physique contests are something that figures in the very backs of their mind and probably get really pissed off with their over coverage in the muscle mags. In fact if you look around most gyms there is probably only one guy who is suitable for this type of competition even if it only is only at local level. (Coming soon Part 2) - 15683
