Description


The IFBB just announced the return of the point system for Olympia Qualifications and it’s being met resoundingly positive feedback – except from me.  I think it’s a horrible idea for many reasons, which I’ll get into here.  Many say things like “well at least now only the real, true athletes will be at the O” as if the prior standard of winning a pro show was causing the Olympia stage to be flooded with mediocrity.  It’s an overly convoluted system that encourages more of everything that’s wrong with bodybuilding already.


Disagree?  Of course you do – let me know!
