Men's Physique

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A well-developed and muscular upper body with an emphasis on broad, rounded shoulders and a small waist that creates a V-shape. Men's Physique athletes have a perfectly sculpted physique and require almost the same level of definition as in Bodybuilding, but without the leg development. They should have an overall elegant and polished appearance, exuding self-confidence and a broad smile. This includes initial presence, poses, transitions, and general presentation.

  • Symmetry is key judging factors.
  • Stage presence and confidence typical of an athletic model.
