Although it's a new division, the Men's Physique category has taken the NPC and IFBB by storm.
NPC Men's Physique Rules
Judging Criteria
Muscularity and Body Condition
"Judges will be looking for fit contestants who display proper shape and symmetry combined with muscularity and overall condition. This is not a bodybuilding contest, so extreme muscularity should be marked down."
For athletes, interpreting these rules can be confusing. How lean should I be? How big? If you're planning to compete, check out the competitors of previous contests in your area. Pay attention to what the athletes looked like and which ones did well. It's also a good idea to research other contests around the country to see how the athletes look.
