WATCH: Freaks vs Aesthetics – What do the judges prefer?
Bob Cicherillo has published another informative video about the judging process in the sport of bodybuilding.
The subject of judging is one of the most debated topics throughout the bodybuilding world.
Fans and media are divided of what type of physique should win a bodybuilding event.
Should it be the freaky bodybuilder, such as Nick Walker who wins a show? Or the balanced and aesthetic physique of Samson Dauda?
Standing next to each other at the 2023 Arnold Classic, it was evident that Nick Walker had more condition than Samson, but Samson presented a more balanced physique, that was more pleasing to the eye.
Samson has to make sure he improves on his condition, and size in certain areas, as if he is slightly off, Nick Walker will definitely place higher than him.
Being the freakiest and biggest bodybuilder on stage, does not mean you are guaranteed to win a show. If this was the case, three-time Mr. Olympia, Frank Zane, would have never won a show.
Looking back, Markus Ruhl was the freakiest and biggest bodybuilder on stage, if the judges preferred the freak factor, Markus would have definitely won the Mr. Olympia.
Cicherillo answers some good questions about judging, and he makes some very important and educational points about the subject.
Evolutionofbodybuilding.net suggests that all bodybuilding fans, and especially the younger athletes watch the videos published by Bob Cicherillo, as they will surely answer the important questions related to bodybuilding competition.
