Shawn Ray responds after a bold statement from Jose Raymond.

Earlier this week, Jose Raymond took to YouTube to give his opinion on the current trend of athletes moving to Classic Physique. His opinion: that Classic Physique is an easier division than Open Bodybuilding – which is why so many athletes are dropping down into it. Essentially, they want an easier path to success.

But is this fundamentally true? Shawn Ray springboards off of Jose Raymond’s comments to break down in more detail the actual tasks that both Classic Physique and Open Bodybuilding need to accomplish in order to find success… and gives his final verdict on whether or not Classic Physique is easier than Men’s Open. Watch it above.
