Mens Physique

MEN'S PHYSIQUE

This competitive category emphasises symmetry and presentation. Judges are looking for a lean, fit, and muscle-toned physique. Athletes should be groomed properly, possess a pleasing muscle shape, good v-taper (highlighted by relatively wide shoulders and a small waist) and a well-developed mid-section are prominent in the judges’ criteria. Judges are not looking for the level of muscle mass or extreme leanness necessary for success in bodybuilding. However, the upper body should be separated with no visible fat, and balanced, with capped delts, muscular arms, a wide back, pec hang, delt-pec tie ins, and well developed, deep abs and visible serratas.

Competitors, coaches should consider the ideal level of muscularity relative to the international, professional world standard.
