#155: Judging A Physique

3D Muscle Journey

In this episode, Jeff, Alberto, and Andrea discuss the different divisions of physique sport. They cover how to choose your division, what the judges are evaluating, and how to best present yourself on show day.

What four things are the judges evaluating when you're on stage? Can you be too lean? Is asymmetry between one's left and right side common? What are the coaches' thoughts on men's physique competitors training legs? How far out from a show do the coaches usually have their athletes start practicing their posing?

These questions, plus many more related to physique sport are answered in today's episode. Whether you are new to the stage or you've been competing for decades, you're sure to take away valuable insights from today's conversation.
