If you've never seen a bodybuilding competition or think that bodybuilding is only for the Arnold Schwarzenegger types, you should check out a show. The sport of bodybuilding has really blossomed in the last few years and includes divisions for various levels of muscular development for both women and men.
In addition to the categories of figure and bikini, a new division called physique has been included. Female competitors in the physique division are said to more muscular than a figure or fitness competitor but less muscular than a bodybuilder. Male competitors in the physique division are actually marked down for extreme muscularity and instead judged on symmetry and overall conditioning combined with some muscularity.
Here's to an exciting bodybuilding competition season here in Michigan. It'll be interesting to see how many of our hometown competitors go pro!
