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 comparisons 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:
|
For Athletes up to 170cm |
Maximum bodyweight (kg) = body height (cm) -100 +2 |
|
For Athletes over 170cm up to 178cm |
Maximum bodyweight (kg) = body height (cm) -100 +4 |
|
For Athletes over 178cm |
Maximum bodyweight (kg) = body height (cm) -100 +6 |
Men's Classic Bodybuilding consists of three rounds
|
Round 1: |

|
strong> Round 3: |
