The vacuum pose done correctly in men’s bodybuilding is akin to a chick having small , perky tits. It represents youth and beauty. Were as a bubble gut is equivalent to a chick with sagging boobs that nearly touch her knee caps!

Breon is right, the abdominal vacuum is overrated, nowadays it’s the chest vacuum

For classic, definitely vacuum is favoured but being able to execute both is best. Chris Bumstead and Wesley Visser both are great examples.

Vacuums are over rated as hell. Some bodies cannot hit a good vacuum like myself with my rib cage I just have too low of ribs to have a vacuum

Yeah you should do both really well in order to be classic. You also need to show external oblique while doing vacuum. You should have big rib cage too.

Vacuum pose looks like it hurts the upper part below the pecks, whenever I suck in and release if feel like my lower rib shifts and kinda pops back in place when I release lol

Vacuum is dumb. Tight waist & defined abs look way better.

Chris Bumstead has boring arms, he should lift those peaks with hammer curls and spider curls. Also, if he's on steroids; sometimes that decreases that natural pop when flexing muscles. The Mr Golden Age contest this page held had guys with better bicep peak than Bumstead and that's why he didn't win.

Deffo agree vacuum may not be manditory but it takes you back to the old school physics but totally agree if you can't hit a vacuum get out of classic doesn't matter if it doesn't go with you structure find a division thst your structure will suit better

I feel for classic physique a vacuum pose should be mandatory. A separate pose. Abs are very important also but for classic physique the vacuum pose is also as important.

Everybody know a vacuum is part off the history off a classic fisic.
Is hard but is a fact.
True not everyone have deep linesand separation in the abs.
But is all about a ilusion.
A beautiful ilusion.
No vacuum, so you are not a classic .

I honestly think the vacuum looks horrible. I'd much rather see a chiseled abdominal.

Am I the only one that things the vacuum pose isn’t aesthetically pleasing at all, I think it looks kinda gross
