Well that isn't necessarily the truth. Those that are gifted with large muscle belly's and who hold weight better than others stand a chance in open. I'm sure you've come across the guy who looks 220 when he's only 180.

Now i'm not gifted by any means but i was still able to win the Ontario Provincials in the Open class. (Ontario i believe is the most difficult province to win)

Now with my weight i can still gain 17 pounds of stageweight over last year and still stay a classic bodybuilder and be a top end middleweight.

Just saying that not all classic guys are bodybuilder pushovers.

Like Rodney Dangerfield says "I get no respect" LOL
