Classic Physique is a division within bodybuilding competitions that emphasizes a balanced, aesthetic physique reminiscent of the golden era of bodybuilding, particularly the 1970s and 1980s. This category focuses on muscle size, symmetry, proportion, and overall presentation.Here are some key differences between Classic Physique and regular bodybuilding:Physique: Classic Physique competitors aim for a streamlined, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing physique with defined muscle mass, particularly in the upper body, while maintaining a smaller waistline and overall proportion. Regular bodybuilding often prioritizes extreme muscle mass and definition, sometimes sacrificing proportion for sheer size.Posing: Classic Physique competitors perform mandatory poses similar to those in regular bodybuilding, but they also showcase specific classic poses that highlight their aesthetics and symmetry, paying homage to the traditional bodybuilding poses of the past.Attire: Classic Physique competitors typically wear posing trunks that are slightly larger and offer more coverage compared to the smaller, more revealing posing trunks worn in regular bodybuilding.Weight Limits: Classic Physique competitions have specific weight limits based on height, ensuring that competitors maintain a balanced and proportionate physique relative to their size. Regular bodybuilding competitions often have no weight limits, allowing competitors to focus solely on maximizing muscle mass and definition.Judging Criteria: Judges in Classic Physique competitions place emphasis on overall aesthetics, symmetry, muscle size, and conditioning, with a focus on achieving a timeless, classic physique. In regular bodybuilding, judges also consider extreme muscle mass, definition, conditioning, and vascularity, often favoring competitors with the most muscularity and separation.Overall, Classic Physique represents a return to the traditional ideals of bodybuilding, prioritizing a balanced and aesthetically pleasing physique over sheer size and muscularity. It offers a different aesthetic and competitive experience compared to regular bodybuilding, appealing to those who appreciate the classic era of the sport.
