Akim Williams believes Classic Physique is certainly good for the sport... but it's popularity will wane after the "new-ness" wears off.<br /><br />Jeremy Buendia recently made a statement that the newer divisions saved Men's Open Bodybuilding - calling the Open division "dead" and only sustainable due to the new division's popularity.<br /><br />Classic Physique's explosion could be good proof of Jerem Beundia's words - as many believe it's the one devision that can eclipse Men's Open Bodybuilding in due time.<br /><br />Akim Williams is not one of those people. While new divisions are always a good addition to the sport - he doesn't have a fear that Open Bodybuilding will be dying anytime soon. As Akim perfectly puts it - Men's Open Bodybuilding started everything. It's the core of the sport. It will always have a place in the world of bodybuilding.<br /><br />But what of Classic Physique's recent explosion in popularity? Akim believes this is all due to the fact that the division is still new. It's like a honeymooning period in relationships. Soon the repeat champions will set in - the fresh excitement will wear off, and it's popularity will fade.<br /><br />Do you agree?
