Hidetada Yamagishi thinks things should change.
Bodybuilding is a truly unique sport as while it takes hard work and dedication to build a superior physical form, the difference between the winner and everyone else is decided by objective individuals, each with their own eye of detail. Judging in bodybuilding like many other sports is a truly thankless job, one that can raise the ire of bodybuilding fans.
But fans aren’t the only ones that judges seem to irk with their decisions. Bodybuilders themselves have expressed their frustration with the judging methods and criteria.
After taking seventh place at the Indy Pro, Hidetada Yamagishi expressed his frustrations about the judging during the competition. Hidetada Yamagishi believes that things need to change in order to give bodybuilders a fair chance to show all the hard work they put into prepping for a competition and the improvements made to their physiques. Hidetada made an Instagram post that goes into more details.

Back to 212 ?
It needs to be run JUST LIKE AN AMATEUR SHOW with weight classes and an Overall Winner
He looks horrible...
Never had an impressive back tho
hide is between a rock and a hard place, he is too big for 212 and loses too much size when he cuts down and he is too small for open bodybuilding, his only hope is to up the roids to crazy levels and see if he can add more mass to his frame.
He is working with milos the mind I'm sure his limits are being pushed already.
He used to place top 10 in the open for Mr Olympia 06 i believe
Yep. Needs to change!! There's no real guidelines. It's subjective to the judges. One judge may not like the guy posing and it's going to hurt him...that's not fair judging.
Regardless of his placing, which he’s not complaining about, his comments are spot on at all levels of the sport
He need more mass,5,6 kg. of pure muscle mass
good conditioning should win.
He should transfer to classic bodybuilding
