Social media for sure had a major impact. Why get a short interview in a magazine with a pro when you can just message them from your phone, or watch a periscope and interact, or watch a YouTube video of them train. There is no value there anymore. It is just shiny pictures and advertisements for supplements that don't work.

I mentioned the name Shawn Ray and Kevin Levrone in the gym the other day and got asked, "Who are they.....?" SMH.... And what year did this Men's Physique shit start in the NPC and IFBB? What's next, Men's Fitness and Figure and Bikini as well?

I like men's physique only because its a return to the past in terms of the removal of bloated guts and synthol physiques.
However, I don't like the board shorts and lack of bodybuilding poses. I think it should be changed to "classic bodybuilding" and they aim for who can replicate the ideal golden age bodybuilder the best.

It's funny you say that..... I just recently heard about this about 3 weeks ago.
New Division, Men's Classic Physique
“Classic Physique is for guys who want to take their muscularity and size beyond the limits of Men’s Physique, but not quite to the extremes of Bodybuilding,” Jim Manion said. “The sport is constantly evolving as the athletes find new ways to express their physiques and the NPC prides itself on offering a platform for these athletes to realize their competitive goals. Classic Physique will highlight proportion, symmetry, pleasing lines, and a small waist. In short, the focus will be on aesthetic qualities in harmony with muscularity and condition.” - See more at: http://www.flexonline.com/general-ne....Qr52lPQj.dpuf
