Thanks bro! Ya he was a big guy for sure haha. We used the same coach so we got to know each other well. He's actually a pretty bad ass dude. He's apart of swat in NY and also works with the FBI. Awesome guy! We're doing team u together. He's 46 so he will dominate the masters 40 over for sure.

I like the fact they gave it to an older guy in better condition that didn't have the smallest waist. In my area in the open they will give it to a much softer young guy with a little waist. I've yet to be outsized by anyone on stage but I haven't run into anyone yet that fit the 6'5"-6'6" height. Can't wait to see what I look like this year with being able to weigh in at 247 pounds.

I wouldn't say he had better condition then me. It was a very close call. That tells a lot because he had 20+pounds on me with good conditioning. It could've went either way. I'm sure you haven't but in this division they want a very small waist, condition, with proper symmetry. You can ask AC23 since he was there I was the most conditioned guy there with one of the smallest waist also.

I wasn't comparing him to you I can see you are the best conditioned he just outsized you and was close on condition but has a much larger waist. I'm just saying that I was beat in 2 open overalls after winning the masters bodybuilding overall and masters classic physique overall by younger guys in their early 20s that I had completely smoked in conditioning. The only thing they had over me was a smaller waist.

I know what they are supposed to be looking for but as usual the judging changes dramatically from venue to venue.

Ya I understand. I've been down the road of questioning judges but it's apart of the sport unfortunately.

It's like the reguar physique board short class. Go to a National show and look and how big most of them are. Here those guys wouldn't even be looked at on stage they would look to a smaller framed guy with not as much muscle. At my last national show the classic physique guys crossed over to board shorts and several of them got there pro card in that division lol.

Honestly he fit the classic physique category way better and I thought conditioning on both was on point. I thought you guys both looked great. It was honestly a size difference I would say he could have beaten you in bodybuilding but you have a more "classic physique"

Yea that small waist allows you to pack on more meat up top and down low. It is strange though to come out in the overall and the Class A guy is 5'6" giving up almost a foot in height and giving up 70 pounds of meat. I love this division though it's been an absolute blast to compete in.
