In all competitions, height, age and weight are used as the basis for grading, and since the grading is very fine, we will not explain them all here.
Finally, let's take a look at how the bodybuilding competition judges are judged.
The process and manner of judging is basically the same for all disciplines and levels in bodybuilding competitions.
Participants in bodybuilding competitions are judged by a panel of judges that includes a lead judge and several general judges. The scores are weighted equally, but the presiding judge, usually the most qualified and experienced person on the panel, also has the responsibility to compare the differences among the competitors by calling out different poses and position changes. In addition, he may consider comparisons or make recommendations among other contestants as a result of the combined requirements.
Usually, the competition is evaluated by nine judges (one main judge and eight regular judges). Each judge provides a list of contestants arranged by weight class. This list is used to sort the contestants according to the judges' requirements. A participant could be given the following sequence:3, 1, 2, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 2 assuming 9 judges). At this point, each participant must remove his two highest and two lowest scores in order to obtain a fairer score. For example, in the previous example, two 3's and two 1's would be thrown out and that participant's score would be:1, 2, 2, 2, 2. By adding these values together, the final score for that participant is obtained. In this example, the final score is 9. This process is repeated for all participants, and the participant with the lowest score wins.
Sometimes, competitions can be evaluated by 7 or 5 judges. In the former case, each contestant can keep only one high and one low score. If only five judges are present, then all five of their scores must be used (no score can be thrown away).
In order to score the different competitors, the judges will assess the overall quality of the competitors based on different criteria. Muscle development. These criteria include quality, definition, proportion, symmetry and stage presence, all of which are equally important. Mass is the perception of muscle size. Definition is the degree of muscular development due to the absence of subcutaneous fat. Definitive muscle strength is necessary to adequately show physical development. Proportionality implies a balanced development of muscles compared to each group of muscles. Theoretically, having a stronger ? Injury to a body part may be as severe as a weakness in the body parts. Bodybuilders must strive for equal development between all muscle groups. Symmetry indicates equal muscle development on the left and right sides of the body. There is a common misconception of this term and it is often used to refer to proportions. Finally, stage performance includes postural performance and other factors that affect overall appearance, such as skin tone, grooming, personal appeal, and posture. Effective stage performance is the key to demonstrating the maximum potential of the physique.
Of course, the criteria for judging the details of these items vary from program to program.
In addition, in different competitions in different countries, because of the national conditions, the number of participants and many other reasons, the setting and level of the competition may also be different, but they are more tired.
I hope this issue of the article can help you understand the bodybuilding competition!
