You all know my opinion when I talked about it in a Vlog a while back, but I want to know what you think. Classic division: good, bad, or somewhere in the middle? Is it a division you would consider competing in? Does your training change if you're competing in this division? Let's hear your thoughts!

I think classic physique is a great division! I'm 17 years old and will be competing in my first show in 6 weeks in the teen physique category but my coach and other bodybuilder friends tell me i have the genetics to take my body to bigger and badder limits. And I think that the classic physique category will help someone transition to bodybuilding if they wanted to instead of just jumping straight into it. But other than that, the bodies that will be representing the classic physique category will bring a bigger audience to the organization and overall I think it's a great move!
I actually really like the Classic Physique Division.. I've competed in 2 shows in the Classic Division, as well as Bodybuilding... I have more a BB Physique than a Classic Physique, What I like about classic is the different poses.
What I hate about it is the Boring Black Trunks... Seriously... why is that a big deal only black.
Me Being short the trunks also cover more of my legs than I like.
Personally, it would be better if the posing trunks were a bit shorter, and we could have choices in color for the night show.
The Other thing I don't like... Is if you choose to do both Classic, and BB in the same show your routine will be Classic because it comes first in the order of divisions... I rather pick which one I like best...
For me it will be only a couple of years before I am no longer qualified in Division A because of Hight n Weight... Currently I am pushing past 160 pounds in off season at about 9%BF.. I am hoping to get to 165 before Cutting again... So... The weight limit is 155 pounds... so in 2 years... I will be most likely to heavy...
