The scene has totally changed from the early 2000's and likely won't get any better unfortunately. Part of it is technology/camming sure, but also the direction the sport has taken. Pretty soon, physique category will be gone as well. I mean shit, the wellness girls are a cross between BB category (legs) and figure category (arms) and will probably eventually morphe into bigger arms hahaha so then back to the physique category. Silly really.
Physique category won’t be gone. It’ll be sort of how things went for the BB category, where the top women get better and better but others move out of the division. Eventually, it will gain back some competitors when wellness becomes too overcrowded.
But yeah, the point stands. Sessionwise it’ll never be like the 2000s and certainly not the 90s. That was a golden era that won’t ever happen again.
