CLASSIC PHYSIQUE POSING CRITERIA

In this division an emphasis on symmetry and aesthetics will take priority over sheer size or an extreme conditioned / overly dieted appearance. The judges will be looking at the competitor’s overall symmetry with balance & proportion in all areas of the body. No one body part should overpower the rest of the physique.
