Difference between physique divisions

    Which division is right for you?

    One of the first questions I often get from women wanting to compete is “What division should I compete in?”

    The answer really is dependent on the type of physique you want for YOUR body.  Do you want to have a sleek athletic toned physique?  Do you want a V-Taper and a moderate amount of muscle and a feminine look?  Do you have special gymnastics or dance talents you want to be able to incorporate into competing?  

    These questions should help you decide which division is right for you. 

    Below you will find a set of examples of what to expect in the competitive classes amongst physique shows.  These are the divisions common to the NPC, some organizations will differ, but this will give you a good starting point in your journey. 

    For more detailed instruction, consider one of my Posing & Show Day Guides.  The Posing Guides are available for both Bikini and Fitness & Figure.
