Classic bodybuilding

Men’s classic bodybuilding is a new sports discipline officially recognized by the Executive Committee and the IFBB Congress on November 27, 2005 in Shanghai (China). Classic bodybuilding meets the demands of men who, unlike most bodybuilders today, prefer to develop less muscle volume, but still have an athletic and aesthetic physique.

If the athlete cannot meet the weight/height criteria, then he will be disqualified.

Differences from conventional bodybuilding 

The fundamental difference between classic bodybuilding and conventional bodybuilding is that they have different categories. Those. in regular bodybuilding weight classes, as in weightlifting. The athlete is not allowed to weigh more than the calculated weight. And in classic bodybuilding there are height-weight categories. Athletes in it are divided more by height than by weight. And there are certain weight norms depending on the height of the athlete. People of different heights can weigh differently too. This is the main advantage of classic bodybuilding. It is known that of two athletes, one of whom is short and the other is tall, but at the same time they weigh the same, the one that is short will win. Excessive muscle hypertrophy is impossible in classic bodybuilding.unlike the usual – therefore, classic athletes are not a huge mountain of meat, but athletes with a proportionally developed body. It values ​​beauty, aesthetics, proportions, super-relief, super-dryness. These are perhaps the main criteria in classic bodybuilding.
