Men's Classic Bodybuilding

Men’s Classic Bodybuilding is similar to Men’s Bodybuilding but with certain limitations regarding the allowed bodyweight (muscle mass).

Men’s Classic Bodybuilding is considered as a new discipline in response to the increasing demand for competitions for men who prefer, unlike bodybuilders, to develop a less muscular, yet athletic and aesthetically pleasing physique. In Men’s Classic Bodybuilding the emphasis is placed on a muscular athletic-looking physique, assessed by caparisons of four quarter turns, 5 compulsory poses designed for physiques with less muscular body-mass compared to bodybuilders and athletic ability, assessed during a bodybuilder like routine.

The general idea of the concept – bodyweight limitation – is applied to all participants, who have been divided into three height categories:

1. Front Double Biceps

2. Front Lateral Spread

4. Back Double Bicep

5. Abdominals and Thighs
