WNBF Bodybuilding

Men and women in the Bodybuilding Divisions will be judged through a series of poses that will allow the judges to evaluate not only individual body parts but also "the most balanced physique throughout.”

Men wear a bodybuilding posing suit; women wear a two-piece bodybuilding suit with or without embellishments.
