Agree 110%. To be honest, I'm disappointed so far. Remember how ripped CBBF figure competitors used to be? Around 2006-ish? I would have thought physique would have been similar to that look.

With that said, I see the 4 divisions (FBB, Physique, Figure, Bikini) it get easier to manage different standards of the female bodies. No, I haven't forgotten fitness. Now that the routines on the IFBB pro level account for the majority of the score now, athleticism is more emphasized than the look.
