Classic aesthetics exist in Men's Open bodybuilding... but are they rewarded?<br /><br />The ongoing debate between Classic Physique and Men's Open bodybuilding does't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. A division that was created as an answer to the fan complaint of the Men's Open mass monsters being too big and carrying distended stomachs.<br /><br />But has that really fixed the issue or just diverted it? Shaun Clarida talks about the nature of aesthetics in Men's Open - and how "classic" physiques do exist in the Men's Open division... but they are simply not winning the shows. As he puts it - it's possible to have a massive physique of a Mens Open bodybuilder and maintain the classic aesthetic. That's the hard part. That's the challenge. And in some ways, by separating it into two divisions... it takes a bit of that challenge away.<br /><br />At the end of the day, Classic Physique proves to be a very successful division that has maintained a high level of excitement so far. Regardless of the original reason - Classic Physique is here to stay and we hope that it becomes a true standout in this already great sport.<br /><br />Watch the full interview with Shaun Clarida above!<br /><br />Bodybuilding, fitness, weight training - all on the Generation Iron Fitness Network!
