As a traditional competitive bodybuilder, the classic physique division was brought to my attention in the natural bodybuilding world this year as it made its entry into natural federations. Not many athletes understand what a classical physique entailed nor what posing was really required to present a classic physique, with this insight I jumped at the opportunity to pave the way. I felt It was my time to finally showcase a true classical physique with classical posing routines – something I have been practicing for many years in my own bodybuilding competitions, only now we, as natural body builders, have a division specifically catered for judging such a physique. I was ecstatic!

After winning all the overalls in season A for classic physique, I wanted to continue the momentum into season B with the same achievements. I achieved what I set out to accomplish, winning 3 National overall titles across all natural federations in Australia and finishing with the ICN World title in Melbourne. I believe the bench mark for the Classic Physique division and what it is really about has been established for future competitions in the sport. From its conditioning, classical lines, symmetry and flawless posing routines, I’m excited to see what this division and its athletes can bring to the stage in the future.

As for my future, I’ll be competing as a Pro Athlete after earning my PRO Card in the Classic Physique division – so we’ve got work to do! The focus now is to keep working hard in the off season with the intent to keep those classical lines and not let this physique get too out of control, while at the same time improving the form underneath. Very tight waist, complete round muscle bellies combined with perfect symmetry is the complete package. Of course size matters, but we don’t want to look like monsters – Quality over quantity. We want to look like a Greek God with the perfect aesthetic to appeal to the everyday person.
