Definitely looking forward to making this an awesome board! With the new addition of Men's Physique there is a whole new excitement that I haven't seen in some time! Gotta love excitement, it gets things done!
What are everyone's thoughts on how the judging is going thus far? What have you seen in your State or Contests that you have competed in or attended?

Gotta love excitement, it gets things done! What are everyone's thoughts on how the judging is going thus far? What have you seen in your State or Contests that you have competed in or attended? Derek! Good to see ya on here! Im stoked that someone started a forum community for us MP competitors. My thoughts on the judging; being a judge myself, as well as a competitor, i think that the criteria is and will continue to evolve over the next year or 2 as more and more competitors come out of the woodwork. Like any new sport/division, we have a set "criteria" to judge on, but a lot of it is left to subjective interpretation. From what I have noticed so far, is that at the local level, smaller is better (most of the time) and size will not guarantee anything. Stage presence and how your present yourself and your physique is HUGE and plays a paramount role in how well you will do. I only have local level experience in judging and competing, but from what I have seen in the national level photographs/videos is that a lot of the MP competitors are bring a more dense/thicker physique (but not bodybuilding thick) to the national level shows, and are doing well so far. I think that as the division evolves, and more and more people set the standard, that the judging criteria will become more solidified, but as of right now, its almost anyone's game on any given night depending on the judging panel and the competitors standing to your left and right!
