The rules of the division state that the judges are looking for "fit contestants who display proper shape and symmetry combined with muscularity and overall condition." Extreme muscularity is to be marked down. That leaves room for interpretation as to what is extreme. Yet, when you look at the competitors in this lineup you begin to get an idea of the "look.[5]
The keys to victory are simple aesthetics: symmetry, presentation, conditioning without being too vascular, and shredded muscles.
