However, Cutler wonders whether its popularity is encouraging athletes with greater size potential to remain in a weight-restricted category.<\/p>\n<div class=\"preferred-source-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=generationiron.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"213\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Preferred source\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/wp-content\/themes\/generation-iron\/images\/preferred-source.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/wp-content\/themes\/generation-iron\/images\/preferred-source.webp\" alt=\"Preferred source\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his conversation with Ruffin, Cutler pointed to former Classic Physique competitors who have successfully transitioned into the Open division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo you think Classic Physique holds some guys back?\u201d Cutler asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ruffin acknowledged that it can, particularly for athletes who have the genetics and frame to carry considerably more muscle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think it does hold some guys back,\u201d Ruffin said, agreeing that certain competitors could become successful Open bodybuilders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation turned to Anton Ratushnyi, one of the younger athletes who has made a name for himself in Classic Physique. Ruffin suggested that Ratushnyi might eventually need to move into the Open division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think Anton\u2019s gonna have to switch to the Open,\u201d Ruffin said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/lee-priest-anton-ratushnyi-move-mens-open\/\">Lee Priest has also urged the young star<\/a> make the move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cutler believes the issue extends beyond individual competitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that we\u2019re missing some talent because of your division,\u201d Cutler said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bodybuilding legend questioned what might happen if younger athletes concentrated on building as much muscle as possible rather than constantly trying to meet Classic Physique weight limits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ruffin agreed that some competitors could benefit from making that decision earlier in their careers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you\u2019re in your early, early 20s and you\u2019re struggling to make weight for Classic, just don\u2019t do it.

However, Ruffin has seen competitors struggle to make significant improvements after moving up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019ll grow like 10 pounds and then they\u2019ll stop and they can\u2019t get any bigger,\u201d Ruffin explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He pointed to Brett Wilkin and Urs Kalecinski as examples of athletes who have made promising transitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think the only two people who have done a decent job of it is Brett and Urs,\u201d Ruffin said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kalecinski\u2019s move from Classic Physique to Men\u2019s Open has been particularly noteworthy. The German bodybuilder decided to pursue a larger physique after establishing himself among the world\u2019s leading Classic competitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussion also touched on <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/mike-sommerfeld-profile-stats\/\">Mike Sommerfeld<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/wesley-vissers-profile-stats-bio\/\">Wesley Vissers<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/ramon-rocha-queiroz-profile\/\">Ramon Rocha Queiroz<\/a> as athletes with the potential to explore other divisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ruffin believes Sommerfeld could immediately become a top-five competitor in the 212 division, although he stopped short of predicting that he could defeat reigning <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/mens-212-olympia-winners\/\">212 Olympia<\/a> champion <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/keone-pearson-profile-stats\/\">Keone Pearson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"h-classic-physique-has-also-changed-men-s-open-bodybuilding-for-the-better\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Classic Physique Has Also Changed Men\u2019s Open Bodybuilding for the Better<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite concerns about losing potential Open competitors, Ruffin believes Classic Physique has had a positive influence on bodybuilding as a whole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two-time <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/every-winner-arnold-classic-classic-physique-division\/\">Arnold Classic<\/a> champion credited the division with encouraging Open competitors to pay greater attention to their presentation and overall proportions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think Classic has done a lot of cool stuff for the sport,\u201d Ruffin said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn particular, I think it\u2019s affected the Open in a sense of like the guys care a little bit more about their waist. They care a little bit more about presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ruffin specifically mentioned competitors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/james-hollingshead-profile-stats\/\">James Hollingshead<\/a> and Michal Krizanek, who have worked to improve their posing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Ruffin, the importance of Classic Physique goes beyond aesthetics. He admitted that the division may have allowed him to enjoy a much longer professional bodybuilding career than he otherwise would have had.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m truly, truly grateful,\u201d Ruffin said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I would have been competing at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-can-classic-physique-and-men-s-open-continue-to-grow-together\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can Classic Physique and Men\u2019s Open Continue to Grow Together?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation comes at an interesting time for professional bodybuilding. The <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/olympia-2026\/\">2026 Mr. Olympia<\/a> featured <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/nick-walker-profile\/\">Nick Walker<\/a> capturing his first Men\u2019s Open title, while <a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/2026-classic-physique-olympia-results\/\">Classic Physique<\/a> continued to showcase an increasingly competitive field following Bumstead\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ruffin believes Classic Physique has helped bring more attention to the sport while influencing how athletes approach conditioning, posing, and symmetry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cutler, meanwhile, sees an opportunity for younger bodybuilders to consider whether their long-term potential might be greater without weight restrictions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both agreed that athletes should ultimately compete in the division that best suits their physiques.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is whether the next generation of Men\u2019s Open stars is already competing in Classic Physique, waiting for the opportunity to <em>grow<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Image embed via Instagram<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DeHy4nmgwog\/?mdxt=OGpwbWtlaWxpY3k2\">@mrolympiallc<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/jay-cutler-classic-physique-taking-talent-from-open\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler believes the growth of Classic Physique could be preventing some promising bodybuilders from reaching their full potential Classic Physique has become one of the most popular divisions in bodybuilding, but is its success coming at the expense of Men\u2019s Open?
