Putting the performance front and center.

Bodybuilding competitions are pretty straight forward. When you tune in to an event you aren’t likely to be confused about proceedings. A bodybuilder gets on the stage to show off all the hard work they’ve been doing in preparation for a given event. How exactly do they manage that? Well, they construct a posing routine to convince the judges that they are the best at the competition. But the judges are human and may make their own judgments as soon as they see all of the competitors. In their minds, they may have already chosen a winner unconsciously.

No matter how you slice it, bodybuilding competitions aren’t exactly shocking. You have an idea of who can win just based on their physiques alone. But what if there was a competition where the rules set things up differently, rules that made things far more interesting and intriguing? If you’re looking to see some new life injected into bodybuilding competitions, then it’s possible that you may find some of Rich Piana’s ideas more than a bit interesting.
