SEVERAL LIGHTWEIGHT PROS OPT TO ENTER
BOTH BODYBUILDING AND AROUSED PHYSIQUE
Pro Lightweight bodybuilder Michelle Laveoux will be crossing over and also competing in the Aroused Physique Division
at this years Africas. He is not alone, with almost one quarter of all AAP competitors also registered to compete in
bodybuilding rounds, mostly among lightweight and middleweight divisions there.

While IFNB fans overall seem deeply divided on the IFNB's decision to follow the lead of the inferior sport of non-naked bodybuilding by adding a men's physique division (in non-nakedbodybuilding it is referred to as Men's Physique, and in naked bodybuilding referred to as Aroused Physique), competitors meanwhile are at least taking advantage of this new designation in the pro muscle ranks.
Many lightweight and middleweight bodybuilders are beginning to crossover into the AP division because they will get better chances of higher placement in the pro ranks. Aroused Physique presentation uses few poses, and involves strutting rather than solitary position posing. Likewise, cock skills are more prevalent, with lots of cock waving, bouncing and of course cumming. Style is more graded over content, which means some lighter pro naked bodybuilders can have a better chance at higher placings in AP rather than in bodybuilding.
"It seems a little more like modeling to me," said pro lightweight Michelle Laveoux. "It is strange not flexing as much, and I never had to worry about whether I look handsome in bodybuilding. But I have the horse meat for it, and I appreciate how the judging encourages me to be more arrogant about my fuckpole, so I do enjoy it so far."
Will we begin to see bodybuilders defecting to this new division? Doubtful if Laveaoux represents the mindset of the big boys: "Naked bodybuilding is my love and passion!" he told us. "I won't ever leave it, even if I dip into some other contests. I can't lie: it seems a lot easier than bodybuilding, and therefore less manly. It is fun, but I can't see it ever replacing or even threatening the real sport of true men: naked bodybuilding."
ARE YOU A FAN OF HIS NEW, MORE MODEL-LIKE DIVISION? OR ARE YOU AMONG THOSE UPSET WITH THE IFNB'S INCLUSION OF THIS NEW DIRECTION?
POST YOUR THOUGHTS BELOW!
This young stud has achieved light weight muscular perfection. beautiful symmetry and a huge dead straight cock which looks stupendous even when soft , as here, and must be mind blowing when erect. When do we get to see that as it must be one of the future highlights of this PA competition. It wouold even be great to see this guy in a lone pose like this one, but with a full erection.The question is, and this is left very vague in the bit of informaion we have been fed so far about the new AP division, is just what the guys who join this division are expected to be able to do on stage. To dae, in competitions, the naked bodybuilders pose, flex their muscles and make numerous unaided cum shots, hopefuly synchronised with their poses on stage. Are these lighter less experienced guys supposed to do the same. Indeed, the big question is, can they shoot cum without some sort of manual stimulation of their fuck sticks. This is all very unclear and is not helped by a current of resistance to any form of change, already being voiced by certain fans, not to mention this guy Kline Cerile, who really has put the boot in. Where is it all going?
ReplyDeleteI think it has been referred to several times what the aroused physique division consists of. I hope the IFNB Report provides us with a quick primer, but we haven't been left completely in the dark here, either.
DeleteThe first thing is to google "men's physique" in the NON-naked world and you will get a sense of how it is different than bodybuilding. (Hint: sometimes you aren't gonna get spoon fed and gotta put in a LITTLE homework to follow these sport, haha.)
Second, the vagueness is not due to lack of explanation in all cases. The criteria for men's physique divisions – be they non-naked or aroused physique – are actually, unto themselves, vague. Unlike bodybuilding, which puts the qualities into empirical standards, physique is much more pageant. (This facto is why so many of us die-hard bodybuilding fans dislike the AP so much; it is less empirically focused, and more sensationalized.) Again, maybe the IFNB Report and it's editors can provide us a primer on what the IFNB is using as AP judging criteria, but keep in mind it is all around a vague division, finding it's way slowly. (he non-naked physique contests are suffering the same vaguenesses.)
However, lastly, we do know WHAT the contenders are doing.
There are four standing "poses" the judges use for comparison; front, left side, rear and right side. The poses are not fully flexed – maybe 50%-60% tensed just to hold shape – and the men are compared. Smiling, mugging, shifting from leaning one way or another, and other minor charismatic adjustments are allowed and encouraged, but they mostly just stand and get admired. It is more like modeling than it is like bodybuilding posing.
Shooting during the stances is scored well, because it represents a man who is so arrogant that admiration for his body compels him to shoot. So these men tend to have very hyper-stimulated cocks when they take stage, because they will not be flexing and seek to blow a load purely on ego-validation.
The second thing they do is called the stage walk – which I believe in AP they nickname "the strut" or "cock strutting". The competitors come out individually, and walk to thee or four points on the stage, striking poses and stances. Again, not flexing, but more model like. However, a lot of emphasis displaced not he walk itself – it's manliness, swagger, cockiness, and of course how the cock swings and is used literally to draw attention. So while these aspects are scored well, you can see how they have more subjectivity, and where some vagueness coms in. It is literally what the judges "like."
Cumming during the strut is also scored well, because again it represents how much these men get off on getting their oversized, masculine egos validated.
As far as grabbing and manipulating cock, remember: grabs and cock holding are not illegal in naked bodybuilding. Stroking is not permitted, yet many classic bodybuilding poses involve holding the cock. Apparently aroused physique is the same way, but even more liberal with the cock stroking.
From the AP rules:
"If showing off the cock to demonstrate how aroused the athlete is, this will score favorably. In the case of light stroking or slow masturbation, brief demonstrations of this type of presentation will be allowed, so long as they are not prolonged and the focus of the athlete is maintained upon the judges in a manner which shows arrogance and confidence, rather than outright masturbation."
So you can see more vagueness. An AP athlete can rub his cock up and down arrogantly a few times, or yank it a little n a seductive, lusty way, as part of his strut or stance, yet can;t outright masturbate. Where is he line? See he vagueness?
It is these unclear standards that make so many bodybuilding fans disinterested in the sport, in spite of the incredible cocks it attracts to the stage.
I still say we don't need a new division as much as more events. I mean, now we've got alpha bodybuilders "batting for both teams", as it were. It's probably because the best overall builders tend to be the biggest, most ripped, and largest hung. The only point of the new division sounds like it is along the lines of aesthetics. At least, that's what I gather from the original name. It seems to me that it's less about who can get the biggest and strongest as much as who can have a rockin' bod, amp up the crowd and show off sexual talent. That's fine, but is this where men show off the masculinity or a beauty pageant?
ReplyDeleteRegardless of adding events vs divisions there's opportunity for is a lot of freedom in the stage routines for the federation. Maybe it could be more category driven than specific activity driven. That is, maybe it's like competitions where there's a "talent" portion, where athletes show off unique abilities to wow the judges. Maybe for "arousal" they could show off how big a boner/load they can get from self lusting, or chose something more creative like working their hole to cum really big. Maybe the number of hands free loads could factor in? Could competitors line up fucking NBAs or being sucked off by NBAs and see who comes first/lasts the longest without cumming/cums the most?
You have put our finger on the problem. What are the new contenders supposed to be doing on stage?. And, in the blog as it stands let's be clear, there really is not much action beyond cum shooting on stage and the type of profile we have here, which is a refreshing change - or have I kissed something?.
DeleteBasically, it is identical to what is happening in the world of non-naked bodybuilding. The non-naked Men's Physique division are encouraging he "athletic" look, but the specifics of their standards are still a little vague. It is vague in the non-naked world, and now the IFNB has brought this vagueness over here.
DeleteIt came to popularity in the non-naked leagues because it is an ego game. And it has become VERY popular in the NPC, IFBB, etc. The division is drawing as many competitors as the bodybuilding. Why? It's an easy ego-rub. The "prize" over there is basically "damn, you're the hottest guy." And now the IFNB is borrowing that model here.
The young men drawn to it just want to be admired. And while they have great physiques – and often look basically like bodybuilders anyway – they meanwhile have to do less for the prize which appeals to them.
In non-naked competition, the guys come out in long board shorts (which is ridiculous), covering most of their legs. The basically do a model walk, and do no poses. It is, essentially, a modeling contest dressed up to look like a physique competition.
I guess in the IFNB the guys also do that model walk, yet are also expected to shoot loads while grinning smugly at the judges. While the IFNB version does seem superior (as the IFNB always does), it is still a hobbling effect.
The problems the non-naked world is having are now no doubt going to be what the naked world will have. Fan backlashes have been strong in the non-naked game, just as they have been here. Yet, ironically, the popularity of the sport grows. Most of the non-naked muscle models you see these days veer towards Men's Physique, and not bodybuilding. It looks like it is here to stay for a long time in the non-naked world. So I can imagine that is the main influence behind why the IFNB decided to try their own version of this simplified sport.
For those here who do not bother to look into the non-naked world of competition, I strongly urge you to do a couple Google searches and you can see why this has popped up here. Just Google "Man's Physique" or "NPC Physique Competition" or something like that and you ill see what has been gaining ground in the non-naked ranks for the past 6-7 years.
And now that bullshit is here. NOT A FAN OF IT, even though I understand how it got here.
Yes, I agree with all that, but just look, at this young guy. He has a beautiful physique, well proportioned and muscled and a superb cock. (better than us caucasians) Surely there must be place for him and similar studs in the naked BB world. Such studs should not just be brushed off as insignificant or irrelevant I have never seen any stats, but I am willing to bet that there are more guys of this type around than there are of the true hard core bodybuilders. It is a pitty that RealBBer had to end his comment on such a sour note "And now that bullshit is here" You know it took a long time for women to get the vote but in most places they eventally did in spite pf strong oppostion. so perhaps these guys will win through in the end. Not to say that they should upend the present BB business, but there is no reason why they shoud not be able to particpate in it. Just look at soccer: it was a boy's game, but there are now international women's teams. Times change and the world eventually adapts.
DeleteJust how long is this dude's cock? It must be all of 12 inches in this shot where it is flacid., but with excellent balance between length and girth. So just how big is itwhen he has a hard on? Surely a competitive size. by any standard. I hope we get a chance to see him on stage but given all the negative comments about his class I have my doubts. Have we got his name right? Michelle is a girl's name in French. Should he not be called Michel because he sure as hell is not a girl?
