CLASSIC PHYSIQUE
We have just announced this class as an addition to our 2025 Division offerings. We will have a full criteria up here for review first week of February. In the mean time this division is available to sign up for using the sign up form for our 2025 events. We look forward to bringing this incredible class to life this year! Some initial criteria below to be extended.
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.
ATHLETES ARE JUDGED IN TWO ROUNDS
- Symmetry – Symmetry encompasses the overall balance and harmony of the physique on all sides and in all muscle groups. Athletes will have broad shoulders, pleasing lines, and a small tapered waist. The lower body will identically match the upper body completing a perfect X frame.
- Musculature & Presentation – Athletes will be judged on the size, balance, and leanness of their musculature which shall not be as extreme as in men’s bodybuilding. Excessive condition, hardness, and vascularity shall not be awarded. Individual presentation of the athletes “classic physique” aesthetic is a focus for judging. Smooth quarter turns and graceful golden era style classic posing is crucial for success.
Complete posing judging criteria and height and weight cutoffs coming soon.
