Listen "#36: Contemporary Issues in Natural Physique Sports"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Eric Helms, Alberto Nunez, and Andrea Valdez give their insight and feedback regarding the many shifts happening within natural bodybuilding's competitive structure over the past 5 to 10 years.
With every new division that is created, combined with the continual sweep towards further subjectivity in our sport, the athletes are becoming more and more green while the judging criteria becomes increasingly gray.
As you can imagine, with 3DMJ being coaches attempting to promote healthy relationships between their athletes and the stage, our coaches are finding the industry's' changes to be a bit counterproductive towards their efforts.
And since 3DMJ is fortunate enough to have a podcast and platform that serves this amazing community, they decided that it was one of their responsibilities to create a discussion around these organizational changes and the many issues that come along with them.
