Muscular Men’s Physique

Muscular Men’s Physique intended for competitors with slightly bigger

muscularity than accepted in the regular men’s physique.

This is not a “bodybuilder in shorts” category, it’s more a “model with muscle” category.

It is aimed at men who do weight training, keep fit and eat a healthy

balanced diet, but who prefer to develop a more muscular, yet athletic

and aesthetically pleasing physique.

They are fit looking contestants who display shape and symmetry,

combined with some muscularity and good overall condition.

The quarter turns should appear effortless and the presentation/posing round should

be done without heavy tensing. Extreme tensing and posing can be marked down. The

athletes should have stage presence and poise and their personality

and ability to present themselves onstage with confidence, should be

visible.

The judges assess Muscular Mens Physique from the hair down.

Shape, balance and proportion is, of course, the primary requirement as in all

categories.

As well as shape, balance and proportion, muscular mens physique are judged on their

presentation including skin condition and tone as well as facial features. The judges are

looking for a healthy look but can display more conditioning and muscularity than

regular mens physique.

This is not a “bodybuilder in shorts” category, it’s more a “model with muscle” category.

The competitor should walk from the side of the stage to the centre back of the stage

and have one pose and then walk directly to the centre of the stage in front of the judges

and do the 7 poses with smooth transitions.

The shorts should be to knee length and unlike regular mens physique can be tight on

the quads. They can be of any colour to enhance the look of the physique. Avoid big

logos.
