MEN´S CLASSIC PHYSIQUE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Since the creation of the Men's Classic Physique division two years ago, the standard used was the Black Classic Physique Shorts.
Over time we have listened to the opinions of the competitors, with suggestions and have previously continued to add another height division from three to four and increase the allowed weights for height in both the NPC and the IFBB Professional League. Probably the suggestion we've heard the most is that competitors want to compete in more traditional swimsuits that don't cover the upper thighs and hamstrings. Well, you wanted 'Classic' and now you're going to get 'Classic'.
Beginning January 1, 2019, ALL Men’s Classic Physique competitors, both IFBB Pro and NPC, will compete in “Classic Physique Posing Trunks”. Competitors are required to wear the same type of cut and all posing Classic Physique swimsuits used in competition must be black and not less than 4-1 / 2 Inches on the sides / hips.

All athletes may compete regardless of the country or federation they belong to.
For all the people who have never won an Over All.
For all those people who have not competed more than 3 times in the Ifbb Pro.
The online payment method is by credit card (stripe).
If you cannot compete due to illness, injury, or a major cause, do not worry, you will have the money saved for the following year.
No se harán devoluciones de servicios ni categorías de competición.
No refunds will be made for services or competition categories.
Our advice is that you come to the competition with plenty of time, since you must be relaxed to be able to enjoy it to the fullest.
Knowing the exact time is impossible because it will depend on factors such as the number of athletes per category, the level of each category and therefore the speed of the judges in determining winners, etc.
Even so, you can get an approximate idea, seeing your category in the schedule and the number of categories that are ahead of yours.
