Classic Physique

Classic Physique emphasizes overall shape, symmetry, and proportion rather than muscle size alone, rewarding physiques that embody the aesthetics of classic bodybuilding.

Classic Physique introduces category-specific posing requirements and judging criteria while maintaining a clear distinction from Bodybuilding.

The category places a strong emphasis on symmetry and presentation, rewarding the artistry and elegance of posing as well as overall physique balance.

Judging is based on the following criteria:

Overall symmetry • Muscle balance and proportion • Appropriate muscularity and conditioning • Posing that embodies the Classic Physique ideal • Stage presentation and artistic expression.

Attire Requirements

Posing Trunks

Non-transparent material required • Side straps must be at least 2.5 cm wide • Front coverage must be adequate • Either Pro Cut or Full Back styles are permitted.

Decorations such as rhinestones and metallic materials are permitted; however, excessively flashy designs are not allowed.

Posing trunks must be clean and free from damage or transparency.

Competitors who do not meet these requirements will not be permitted to compete on stage.

ー Judged in Two Roundsー

Prejudging

Competitors are evaluated through lineup comparisons.

If there are more than 10 competitors, only the top 10 will advance to the Final Round.

Excessive pre-action movements may result in point deductions.

ファイナルラウンド

A Free Posing Routine will be performed.

The duration of the Free Posing Routine varies by event. Please be sure to check the event guidelines in advance.

The Free Posing Routine is judged on overall presentation, including muscular development, stage presence, and routine composition.
