compete to see who has the best physique. They are judged on their muscularity, level of conditioning (or leanness), muscular symmetry, and posing routines. Most of the work is done off stage, as competitors must train hard, eat clean 24\/7, and follow a rigid supplement regimen to build a complete body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two major bodybuilding organizations \u2014 the IFBB Pro League and the NPC (an amateur league). The NPC, which is where most bodybuilders start, offers eight divisions \u2014 three for men and five for women. For the men, they are Men\u2019s Bodybuilding, Men\u2019s Classic Physique, Men\u2019s Physique. The women\u2019s divisions include Women\u2019s Physique, Fitness, Figure, Bikini, and wellness. In the bodybuilding category, there are also specific weight classes. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Bantamweight (up to 143.25 pounds)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightweight (over 143.25 pounds and up to 154.25)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Middleweight (over 154.25 pounds and up to 176.25)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light Heavyweight (over 176.25 pounds and up to 198.25)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heavyweight (over 198.25 pounds and up to 225.25)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Super Heavyweight (over 225.25 pounds)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical bodybuilding show consists of four rounds\u2014 the symmetry round, the mandatory posing round, the free posing round, and the posedown. (Note: Each division is judged a little differently.) Here\u2019s a breakdown of each stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletes will first complete a series of \u201crelaxed\u201d quarter-turns so the judges can compare their symmetry and conditioning. Then, they\u2019ll complete the eight mandatory poses to demonstrate their size. Each athlete will then perform a rehearsed posing routine, about 90 seconds long. Finally, the top three to five competitors in each weight class will compete in a posedown, as the last chance to show the judges their best assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The eight mandatory poses include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Front Double Bicep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Front Lat Spread<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Side Chest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Side Tricep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rear Double Bicep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rear Lat Spread<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abdominals and Thigh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most Muscular (men only)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-30 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-section-header is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-kicker\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-kicker\" id=\"more-in-bodybuilding\">More in Bodybuilding<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"flex-row wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-282265 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-news category-bodybuilding category-top-athletes tag-parent-topic-strength-exercise tag-sport-bodybuilding entry\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/phil-heath-three-ts-for-bigger-arms\/\" target=\"_self\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"7x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath Uses the &#8220;Three T&#8217;s&#8221; For Bigger Arms\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1-120x68.jpg 120w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1-489x275.jpg 489w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Heath-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title has-xx-large-font-size\" class=\"wp-block-post-title has-xx-large-font-size\" id=\"7x-mr-olympia-phil-heath-uses-the-three-ts-for-bigger-arms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/phil-heath-three-ts-for-bigger-arms\/\" target=\"_self\">7x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath Uses the &#8220;Three T&#8217;s&#8221; For Bigger Arms<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt has-medium-small-font-size\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Seven-time Mr. Olympia\u00a0Phil \u201cThe Gift\u201d Heath\u00a0is often touted as having the greatest genetics in bodybuilding history.
