Viva la revolution!! The Criteria Hasn't Changed (And Other Lies Bodybuilding Tells Itself) - S2 E20

from The Macro Lounge Podcast · host Chris Bold and Rachel Mead

"The criteria hasn't changed" Sound familiar? Chris and Rachel are calling it out - because if it truly hasn't changed, how do you explain Fit Model existing? Or an Olympia champion from six years ago who probably couldn't place today?This week they're pulling apart the evolution of bodybuilding criteria across categories and federations - from the original Miss Olympia to the current pro stage, from Europe to Asia to South America, and why the results look so wildly different depending on where you're standing.They also get into what actually drives category growth, who's responsible for the criteria drift, and what happens when athletes outgrow their division but have nowhere comfortable to go.It's an honest, unfiltered conversation about an industry-wide problem - and why the athletes themselves might be the only ones who can change it.Like and subscribe on Spotify and YouTube - it helps more than you'd think.Find us here:🎧 Follow The Macro Lounge on Spotify📸 Instagram: @macro_lounge_podcast▶ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMacroLoungePodcast📩 Email: [email protected] with us:👙 Posing School: Accentuate Posing Academy https://www.instagram.com/accentuate_posing_academy/💪 Coaching with Chris: Team Bold Physique https://www.instagram.com/teamboldphysique/✨ Competition Bikinis with Rachel: Accentuate Bikinis https://www.instagram.com/accentuatebikinis/
