There’s been a great deal of talk concerning mandatory posing in Classic Physique. Many believe that the vacuum pose should be a mandatory pose for the Classic Physique division despite the fact that it was never considered a mandatory pose during the Golden Era.

While arguments on both sides have been pretty compelling, hearing from the competitors in the division themselves usually offers an insight that the average lay person simply can’t provide.

While Breon Ansley believes a mandatory vacuum pose is unnecessary, Chris Bumstead may have a difference in opinion. Take a look at the video to hear Chris Bumstead’s thoughts on the issue.
