Greg Doucette has a passion for?bodybuilding and is an IFBB bodybuilding coach. He has participated in more than 100 powerlifting competitions and coaches veteran fitness icons. The WR powerlifter also has a huge social media fan following, which leads him to talk about issues in the fitness world. His YouTube and Instagram are immersed in topics related to bodybuilding, usage of PEDs, and other fitness topics.

He recently addressed the problems in the Classic Physique category of IFBB competitions, discussing how it favors height over weight standards, giving an advantage to taller competitors above 6 feet. Greg had previously raised this concern, and finally, the IFBB took heed of his feedback.

Coach Greg Doucette shares an update on IFBB criteria

Greg shared a video talking about the changes in IFBB competitions and showed what the vice president of IFBB said. Tyler Manion, who is the vice president of the IFBB pro league, spoke about the disparity in the height-to-weight ratio. Greg Doucette then took over and gave the example of Chris Bumstead, who is 6?2? tall. The IFBB finally listened to Doucette and the IFBB coach was right. Finally, the IFBB added 7 pounds to the weight class with a lower height than 6 feet to equalize the competition with taller candidates.

According to Greg, this would make a huge difference for Urs Kalecinski and Ramon Dino because they were at a significant disadvantage due to their height, which cannot be controlled like weight. Now they can weigh 227 pounds, which is more weight compared to someone taller. However, to put in more pounds, bodybuilders might use PEDs which can be harmful. So Greg also gives a solution to that.

He advocated for a new category for Classic Physique where people could achieve an aesthetic physique at a lower bodyweight without using PEDs. Doucette mentioned the aspect of starting a new category Physique,or bodybuilders who do not want to use PEDs. He said, ?Why not add in another category? The beach body classic physique division. For guys that don?t want to abuse steroids.??

Doucette has previously talked about PED usage as well and said that he was irked by the fact that, despite sad cases, young fitness enthusiasts have not toned down their steroid usage. Doucette also said, ?When you look at Chris Bumstead sure you admire his physique it?s amazing but how many of us think we can end up looking like Chris Bumstead? Perhaps one in a million at most.?
