Bodybuilding
Judging Criteria
Men and women in the Bodybuilding Divisions will be judged through a series of poses that will allow the judges to evaluate not only the individual body parts but also the "whole package". Men wear a Bodybuilding posing suit; women wear a two-piece bodybuilding posing suit with or without embellishments.
Athletes are judged in two rounds:
1. Symmetry encompasses overall balance and conditioning.
2. Muscularity and conditioning judges mass, definition, and proportion.
