As a natural bodybuilding federation, the WNBF has not implemented Classic Physique as a less muscular category, as drug-free competitors do not carry mass at the expense of symmetry. Further, the WNBF has not implemented Classic Physique as a category where leanness is explicitly less than in the Bodybuilding category. The WNBF believes natural bodybuilding already exemplifies many aspects of Classic Physique and for that reason, care will be taken to introduce Classic Physique posing requirements and judging criteria without negatively impacting the Bodybuilding category. WNBF Classic Physique emphasises symmetry and presentation, specifically the artistry of posing.
Athletes shall wear black classic physique posing trunks up to 4.5" on the side.
Bodybuilding trunks are not allowed.
The Classic Physique Division will be judged through a series of poses that will allow the judges to evaluate not only individual body parts, but specifically the “whole package.”
Athletes shall wear black classic physique posing trunks with a 3" - 4.5" side. Bodybuilding trunks are not allowed.
Classic Physique divisions will be split according to height. Classes will be split as evenly and as competitively as possible based on the number of entries at each event.
