Men's class
Classic Physique
The aesthetic class — golden-era proportions with modern conditioning.
Classic Physique was created to bring back the Zane / Frank lines: small waists, full muscle bellies, and a presentation that emphasizes flow. Athletes compete inside a height-weight cap, which keeps the class about shape rather than total mass.
