MEN´S CLASSIC PHYSIQUE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Since the creation of the Men’s Classic Physique division two years ago, the standard used was the Black Classic Physique Shorts.

Over time we have listened to the opinions of the competitors, with suggestions and have previously continued to add another height division from three to four and increase the allowed weights for height in both the NPC and the IFBB Professional League. Probably the suggestion we’ve heard the most is that competitors want to compete in more traditional swimsuits that don’t cover the upper thighs and hamstrings. Well, you wanted ‘Classic’ and now you’re going to get ‘Classic’.

Beginning January 1, 2019, ALL Men’s Classic Physique competitors, both IFBB Pro and NPC, will compete in “Classic Physique Posing Trunks”. Competitors are required to wear the same type of cut and all posing Classic Physique swimsuits used in competition must be black and not less than 4-1 / 2 Inches on the sides / hips.

  2. Competitors must wear the same type of cut and all shorts worn in competition must be black.
  3. The judges will score the competitors according to the “total package”, which is a balance of size, symmetry and musculature.

MANDATORY POSITIONS

The Judge has a 100% score and will consist of quarter-turn comparisons and the following “5” required poses:

  • Front Double Biceps
  • Side Chest 
  • Back Double Biceps
  • Abdominals with one thigh
  • Favourite Classic Pose (No Must Muscular)

I am going to compete how can I know when I will leave?

Our advice is that you come to the competition with plenty of time, since you must be relaxed to be able to enjoy it to the fullest.

Knowing the exact time is impossible because it will depend on factors such as the number of athletes per category, the level of each category and therefore the speed of the judges in determining winners, etc. 

Even so, you can get an approximate idea, seeing your category in the schedule and the number of categories that are ahead of yours.
