Bodybuilding

BODYBUILDING

The Male Bodybuilding Division is judged over three posing rounds to evaluate the athlete’s physique and presentation. Bodybuilding judging takes into consideration the whole body from top to bottom, not just one body part. The Judges are looking for the “total package.” including conditioning, muscularity, symmetry, and presentation.

The three rounds judged are:

1. Symmetry – Encompasses the overall proportions, and symmetry from the top to bottom and front and side of the physique.
2. Muscularity – Overall muscle size, and conditioning is assessed in this round.
3. Free Posing - Stage presentation is considered in this round, as is the athletes ability to display their strengths and hide their weaknesses.
