Women joked a couple years ago when the bikini division was implemented. Some of the hardcore bodybuilding women asked when a men’s bikini division would be implemented. This new division certainly isn’t a men’s bikini division (thankfully!) but it will bring a number of new physiques to the stage. Many men don’t have the genetics to be professional bodybuilders nor do they aspire to be one. The new division is more a Muscle & Fitness / Men’s Fitness look and one that is sure to attract a following. Men who could do well at this show might have won a local level bodybuilding show but have no chance at a top spot on the National Bodybuilding scene. It’s not a bodybuilding competition, so you won’t see any front double biceps or most muscular poses here.

Information on the Men’s Physique division taken from www.npcnewsonline.com: 

Beginning in 2011 a new division for men will be introduced – Men’s Physique. The following are the guidelines/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.

Stage Presence and Personality
Contestants will be asked to walk in board shorts (shorts must be just above the knee in length and can be one inch below the belly button, no spandex and no logos are permitted on the board shorts however a manufacturer’s logo such as Nike symbol or Billabongs are acceptable.) Competitors will enter the stage without a shirt and barefoot. No lewd acts allowed for example the moon pose. Judges are looking for the contestant with the best stage presence and poise who can successfully convey his personality to the audience.

COMPETITION JUDGING

Presentation:

Competitors will walk to the center of the stage alone and perform quarter (1/4) turns with optional pose of hand on hip or hand in pocket, face the judges as directed then proceed to the side of the stage.

Comparison Round –

The competitors will be brought back out in a group and directed to do quarter turns
Judges will have the opportunity to compare competitors against each other in quarter turns.
