After Indy Pro, Hidetada Yamagishi Talks Frustration With Judging In Bodybuilding

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.
