Front, Back And Sides Lineup
All competitors will present on stage in numerical order facing the judges. The head judge will call heels together facing the front. A series of quarter turns will follow. Competitors will be viewed from the left side, from the back, from the right side and from the front. Twisting is preferred on the left and right sides. Judging will be based on overall symmetry shape and muscle definition.
This discipline will require judges to evaluate standards of symmetry, proportion, muscular development and condition, posture and general deportment, in a RELAXED State.
Overall symmetry, muscular development and condition will be preferred to competitors with ´exceptional´ or ´sensational´ development areas which don´t come together in the form of overall symmetry or competitors with an imbalance in their physical make-up.
Competitors should remember this discipline in the first view the judges have of their physiques. By this stage all the serious training is over – so arguably posture and general deportment are the most important items on their list.
Individual Routines
This discipline will afford judges the opportunity to extend their assessment of individual Competitors.
The time allocation for each competitor will be 60 seconds (1 1/2 minutes) max.
In case of a high quantity of competitors the Chief Judge can decide for 1 minute posing time during the pre-judging.
Judges will be looking for tone, shape and quality of individual and collective muscle groups. Presentation will also be an important consideration, but the main criteria for selection and placing will be symmetry, proportion, muscular development and condition
Comparisons
