Exactly. I think I'm leaning toward Classic. I'd rather show the hard work I put into my legs than hide them in board shorts that cost £70 anyway lol.

Haha, the shorts are a rip-off! Classic trunks are much cheaper. Just make sure you practice the vacuum. It’s harder than it looks when you’re gassed on stage.

And the back pose! Classic judges want to see detail in the Christmas tree and lower lats. MP is more about width and 'V' shape.

Great summary guys. LondonLad, just pick the one that makes you feel most confident when you look in the mirror. Confidence is 50% of the score.
